Low-cost airline Breeze Airways is teaming up with Priceline to sell flights on the online site, making it easier to book tickets.
With the new partnership, Priceline has become the first and only online travel booking site to sell Breeze flights, the airline shared with Travel + Leisure. Previously, the only way to book a flight with the carrier was on its website or through its mobile app.
“We’re excited to work with Priceline, our first-ever OTA partner, to bring Breeze flights to a broader audience,” Lukas Johnson, Breeze’s chief commercial officer, said in a statement shared with T+L. “Now Priceline’s many users have another way to book their next getaway on Breeze.”
Travelers can now book all of Breeze’s 170 routes directly through Priceline, and will soon be able to choose from the airline’s three fare bundles: “Nice,” “Nicer,” and “Nicest,” which includes Breeze Ascent complete with perks like checked baggage, in-seat USB and USB-C charging ports, and complimentary snacks and beverages.
Brigit Zimmerman, Priceline’s chief commercial officer, said the new partnership reinforces the company’s “commitment to offering unparalleled travel opportunities and best-in-class deals for our customers.”
Breeze was first created in 2021 by former JetBlue founder David Neeleman and has rapidly expanded since, now flying to 51 cities across 27 different states. The airline also plans to start flying to international destinations in the near future.
Breeze has also committed to using an all-Airbus A220 fleet for its scheduled service by the end of 2024.
For its part, Priceline offers a “VIP” membership program that offers discounts on bookings like hotels and car rentals along with “insider coupons.”
In addition to Breeze, travelers can purchase flights from other airlines directly on Priceline, including from major carriers like Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, American Airlines, and JetBlue, as well as low-cost carriers like Spirit Airlines and Frontier Airlines.
