This was our first time flying with Breeze Airways, and I can honestly say it won’t be our last! From the pilots and flight attendants to the wonderful staff helping passengers board and exit the plane, everyone was incredibly friendly, kind, caring, and professional. It was clear that everyone took pride in their work and genuinely cared about the passengers’ experience. The airplane itself was exceptionally comfortable, making the entire journey even more enjoyable. What a refreshing experience to fly with an airline that truly puts its passengers first! We look forward to flying with Breeze Airways again and highly recommend them!

Driving 1.5 hours to connect in Charleston to New Haven CT was a waste. New Haven is the worst airport in the US. Everything is outside and this is an issue in bad weather. Zero parking. Only opening 2 hours before wheels up gives you no flexibility. I am done with Breeze. By the time i buy everything i need, im saving no money.

Flight Grand Jct to Las Vegas the internet wasn't working. Flight Las Vegas to Grand Jct we didnt have internet & my air vents was broken making the plane a bit warm. I understand not having a lot of food choices for such a short flight, but not pretzels, cookies or anything offered & only free beverage choices were water, tea, or coffee; not even ginger ale or a soda. Like everything else, you get less & pay more these days.

Breeze Airways is a no nonsense, no extra fluff kind of airline. They have just the basics, boarding is short and easy, and the cost for flights are fair. Will definitely be flying Breeze again!

I thought I paid for a round trip for carry-on and my ticket only had one way when I purchased a round trip Didn't make sense to me .Not what you want to hear when it's time to go home.

Flying with this airline is a true nightmare. We got delayed than stranded on layovers due to maintenance issues both ways of our flight and there’s no way to communicate with anyone other than AI bots that are absolutely useless. Never again.

I was surprised with Breeze Airlines. It was my first time flying with them, and I was hesitant. It was a great experience. The seats are really comfortable. You have much more space than other airlines, and they are better quality seats. The service was amazing, and we landed almost an hour before schedule. It was an amazing experience; I really recommend Breeze Airlines.

Great experience! This was my first time flying with them and I could not have been happier.

First time flying Breeze, was very impressed. I will use Breeze again.

The flight was rescheduled and canceled. I had to go with another airline last minute to honor my school commitment. The reimbursement is a joke -$150 for a one way plane ticket.

Terrible, decided to delay our flight since another flight require a flight captain

staff and crew were great but the flight delays for the last few flights are insane. After a long day of work and you will get a notification of flights delay is not the message we want to see. And for some reason it keeps happening often this year.

I love southwest. I can not wait until all the planes convert to the upgraded planes. I love the charging option and the newer seats. Thank you from a very loyal Southwest customer.

My return flight was much better than the flight there! I paid for seat to Veagas but not the return. Thankgoodness they assigned me a seat with additional leg room as I have back and leg problems. I really appreciate it. With the flight already being super expensive due to gas prices and having to pay for bags (now) I needed to save some money.

Like new plane. Great crew. Comfortable. Clean. On time. Happy employees. Good organization and control of passengers.

I’ve always loved Southwest. No issues at all. I was flying standby and the gate agent was extremely friendly and helpful. Boarding was smooth and I was able to get a window seat in the emergency exit row. Crew was fantastic! They were very professional and accommodating. We had to divert from our destination due to weather but the flight crew kept everyone at ease and informed us of all pertinent information. Excellent flight

Exceptional crew! Friendly and professional. Pleasant attitude and treated everyone with respect.

The trip was good. Short, uneventful, and can't ask for more than that My one complaint is that I had signed up for wheel chair assist between gates. I fractured my foot/ankle in two places and needed the help. Neither flight did the requested help appear. I ended up walking through both Atlanta and Nashville Airport and was a very unhappy traveler. While I know that it's the airport responsibility for the service, I wish that SW had at least verified that the assistance was there as requested.

I liked that we arrived safely. I did not like how Southwest personnel blamed the boarding delays on wheel chair passengers. If there is a national wheelchair basketball tournament occurring, be ready as a company to respond with appropriate resources to match your cudtomers needs.

I like the boarding procedure. A bumpy ride, but it couldn't be helped. Please make sure the exit seats are clearly indicated.

Everything went smoothly, WiFi connection was strong. Time to upgrade the regional planes, we are all on top of each other. No room to comfortably do anything.

Very good- all went as planned. Flight was on time. Seating was a little sub , as always. Snacks and entertainment were basic. We arrived on time- no problems.

Flight attendants were great. Cheerful, upbeat and friendly. Jet, in particular, was fantastic.

Subpar. The seating on the plane is almost unbearable. We are literally touching and/or sitting on each other which is totally unacceptable and shameful. Pilots and crew was very accommodating and friendly.

I love Delta the flight attendants were personable and the flight arrived 1/2 earlier thanks expected. All a plus. The gate agent was a bit flustered but even with that I still had a good experience. Her supervisor assisted me.

two hour delay and the Delta representative on the PA system was unable to understand

They made us board and then deboard due to mechanical issue which delayed the departure by almost 2 hours and we barely made our connecting flight. These quality checks should've been done before boarding not after.

My Flight was cancelled and there was no other options available for me to Travel on that date and my options for the next day was all connecting flights that would have me in the airports all day before reaching my destination

I appreciate the crew and their hard work. In Atlanta, the ticket counter had 1 woman to do all the work. She was amazing. People weren’t happy they had to check their carry on roller bags, but she handled them well. She was cordial and worked quickly to get the passengers boarded.

I understand why there was a 40 minute delay, but we should have been offered snacks during that time. We weren’t offered it until later.

Fort Lauderdale doesn't have Priority Security line so why was such option available for purchase? I need a refund back

1/2 full flight, nice and comfy flight. On time, good service

Both ways the people in the rear section of the plane were forced to check their carry on bags. I would understand this if the size and number of bags were not limited, but I do not understand why there is not room for one small overhead bag per person, even if the flight is full. I could watch the baggage handlers loading the extra luggage from my window and I’m pretty sure mine wouldn’t have survived undamaged, even though it is new and sturdy.

Entertainment, clean plane and funny pilot over the intercom was excellent… however, gate agent was rude and was probably a Spirit employee before they went bankrupt… there were 3 flight attendants - 2 of them didn’t want to be there the other one was kind and nice… I want you to recognize how you have to compete with Delta or South West airlines or even American Airlines which would choose over you at any given day from here on out. Please treat people respectfully. If you hate working in this industry - go and work somewhere else. The flight was very empty and it shouldn’t be hard to crack a smile once in a while. Very disappointing… I remember flying Jet Blue back in the day from Dulles IAD to LAX and you guys were super cool and fancy and made flying fun again - truly elevated the experience. Don’t become the next most hated airline… you can do better . I want you to succeed…

Free wifi was almost impossible to get, kept dropping the connection

Not good - we boarded and taxied for an hour before they told us there were technical issues with the plane. They told us we were going to need to deplane, parked back at the gate but then didn’t tell us we didn’t have to anymore. There was just a lot of uncertainties with poor communication.

3.5 hour delay because of “mundane” mx issue. Aircraft had to be towed 3 times.

Overall great experience, though my screen for entertainment was not working and I could see that others were.

The boarding agent and checked bag agent were both rude. It only takes a second to be kind. However, the flight crew was amazing. I got a turkey sandwich and it wasn't bad---not great but not bad. The internet was my biggest problem. This was a work trip and I REALLY needed the internet to meet a deadline but it didn't work for 80% of the trip. Very disappointing.

There were mutliple delays. There was inconsistent, delayed, and poor communication regarding the delays.

Delays and cancellations. Mechanics weren’t on site. Replacement plane took hours to arrive although it should have arrived within 90 minutes. Flight back was cancelled. Ended up driving over 12 hours and wasting 3 days between everything.

They did not offer coffee on a 7am flight…awful!!

RIC Staff was not enough. Elderly passengers had to wait 30 minutes to deplane, so we could board and still had to walk as no chairs were provided. And, passenger in front of my seat assignment rammed seat against my legs entire flight time. Was mildly bruised and left thigh still sore.

The flight had a delay that made me being in a real rush to take the second flight. The delay was almost for 2 hours. They moved us from gate to gate in 4 times. Once I arrived to Philadelphia, I got to run thorough all the airport, as the train was already closed by that time. So I got sick with asthma for all the running I had to do. And I was the last one to board, when it was almost closed. So irresponsable with the people

5.5 hour delay with no explanation on why, along with no proactive effort to reaccomodate me.

Flight overall was good. Landing was a little rough, but could be attributed to the rainy weather.

The free internet access did not work, so we had to purchase 2 Internet packages. Flight attendants were not proactive in checking in with first class patrons

Equipment swap led to 2+ hour delay on international flight. And to top it off, boarding took forever.

Wretched scheduling - they got themselves into a critical crew situation and didn’t try to address it until 15 minutes before they had to cancel my flight

Terrible. I hate flying with AA. There is always a high level of stress felt when I fly with them.
