Breeze will now have a direct flight between Orlando and Atlantic City, New Jersey (and vice versa) daily. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2021, Breeze took flight with a handful of routes and big plans to deliver affordable, elevated service between underserved cities. Launching service to the U.S. Virgin Islands on the cusp of our 5-year anniversary speaks to how far Breeze has come in that time,\u201d said David Neeleman, Breeze Airways founder and CEO, in a press release. \u201cWhether it\u2019s a new destination like St. Thomas or making sure travelers in Atlantic City have affordable options, we\u2019re continuing to grow where the demand is \u2013 and we\u2019re just getting started.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Per The Points Guy, Spirit Airlines used to service 99% of the flights in Atlantic City. These new routes will be firsts for Breeze at that particular airport destination. <\/p>\n<p>Avianca Airlines is also hoping to expand its Orlando services. They hope to offer daily Orlando and Medellin, Colombia, flights year-round. This expansion is still pending governmental approval. <\/p>\n<p>Are you going to take any of these routes?
