Breeze Airways launches service from Dayton International Airport to Raleigh-Durham, N.C., and Sarasota-Bradenton, Fla., on Friday, November 6. The Raleigh-Durham route is nonstop, while the Sarasota-Bradenton route is one-stop with no change of plane.
Why it matters
The launch completes the four Dayton routes Breeze first announced in June, following earlier service to Fort Lauderdale and Fort Myers. Both new routes operate Mondays and Fridays, giving Dayton travelers additional nonstop and connecting options to the Southeast.
Breeze is offering introductory one-way fares of $49 to Raleigh-Durham and $69 on Fort Lauderdale and Fort Myers routes, which is a company announcement of promotional pricing. The announcement does not say how long these fares will be offered or how many seats are available at those prices.
