Breeze Airways is a low-cost US-based airline started by the founder of JetBlue. Breeze Airways started flying in May 2021, and has been continually adding new routes through 2023. Breeze Airways's baggage fees have increased in 2023, and they have changed the luggage fee pricing structure. Breeze Airways no longer has fixed checked baggage fees, so the cost of adding a checked bag to your flight changes depending on your exact route and dates of your flight.
As a low-cost airline, Breeze Airways offers a pared down Basic/Lite fare that they call the "Nice" fare. It includes only a small personal item, and you will be charged $35 extra if you wish to bring a standard-sized carry-on item to place into the overhead bin (up from $29 last year). They also currently charge a $41 fee for a checked bag (up to 3 bags - 2nd bag will cost $45, a 3rd bag will cost $50). Please remember, for 2023 these prices are no longer fixed and may vary depending your exact route and flight dates (as well as when you are purchasing your bags - if you see prices for adding luggage to your reservation, these prices may be different the next time you consider adding bags to your flight - Breeze will not honor bag prices that you may have seen previously and have since changed if you haven't added them to your reservation when they were offered). Please use the prices you see here as a general guideline of what to expect to pay, but know that they may be different for your specific flight.
The Breeze "Nicer" fare includes both a regular carry-on item (that may go into the overhead bin) and 1 free checked bag, where as the highest-end "Nicest" fare includes a free standard carry-on item and 2 free checked bags. The basic "Nice" fare doesn't include either a standard carry-on item (only a small personal item) nor does it include any free checked bags.
