Low-cost airline Breeze Airways is adding two new routes to Florida this fall, adding to its robust service to the Sunshine State.

I was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, where I spent 18 years soaking up the local charm before moving to Tallahassee for college. I've traveled all across the state — from the panhandle to the Florida Keys — for 22 years, so I've learned quite a few things. 

Whether you’re planning a trip to Disney, next year’s spring break, or just a lovely vacation in tropical Florida, think about leaving the car at home to try out Brightline, Florida’s high-speed train service.
