Low-cost airline Breeze Airways is introducing its first-ever branded credit card card with flight perks and is also adding five new cities to its network this fall in its continued efforts to expand just three years after its founding.

The Breeze Easy Visa Signature card, will have an $89 annual fee and come with a host of benefits, including up to 10x BreezePoints for Breeze purchases and priority boarding, the carrier shared with Travel + Leisure. The card will also include complimentary inflight Wi-Fi on the airline’s Airbus fleet (a bonus since Breeze recently committed to using an all-Airbus A220 fleet for its scheduled service by the end of 2024). 

The card, which is co-branded with Barclays US Consumer Bank, includes 50,000 BreezePoints as an introductory sign-up bonus after spending $2,000 in the first 90 days.

“Combined with Barclays’ trusted track record with major travel brands, I’m confident the Breeze Easy Visa will be THE airline card of choice for Breeze guests and frequent travelers,” David Neeleman, the founder and CEO of Breeze Airways, said in a statement shared with T+L.

In addition to the new card, the rapidly expanding airline will add flights to five new cities: Bangor, Maine, Dallas, Texas, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Lansing, Michigan, and Pensacola, Florida. Each of these new routes will launch in October. 

“We’re thrilled to announce five more cities to our expanding network as we continue to add great destinations and also connect the dots between Breeze’s existing cities,”  Breeze Airways’ President Tom Doxey said in a statement shared with T+L. “With Breeze’s added convenience and affordability, our business model continues to see success in cities across the country.”

From Bangor, travelers will be able to fly to Orlando, Tampa, and Fort Myers in Florida; fly to Provo/Salt Lake City from Dallas; fly to Orlando from Lancaster; fly to both Orlando and Fort Myers from Lansing; and fly to Tampa from Pensacola. 

Beyond the new cities, Breeze — which has plans to add international flights in the near future — will also add several new routes from nine of the cities it already serves, including an October flight from Norfolk, Virginia, to Phoenix. With the new routes, the airline, which was first created in 2021 by former JetBlue founder and current Breeze CEO Neeleman, will fly to a total of 56 different cities across 29 states.

To celebrate the new routes, Breeze is offering certain flights starting at just $49 each way when travelers book by 11:59 p.m. ET on April 1 and travel by Jan. 7, 2025.
