Breeze Airways, the premium leisure low-cost carrier offering affordable nonstop service across the U.S., today announced service to Washington Dulles International Airport from South Bend, starting November 8. Breeze also recently announced additional new service from South Bend to Orlando and Fort Myers.

From South Bend, IN to:

  • Washington Dulles, VA (Monday and Friday, starting November 8, one way from $49*);
  • Orlando, FL (Thursdays and Sundays, starting November 7); and
  • Fort Myers, FL (Wednesdays and Saturdays, starting February 5, 2025).

"Washington D.C. has been one of our targeted destinations as there is considerable demand from our region," said South Bend International Airport CEO and Executive Director Mike Daigle. "We are thrilled that Breeze, the newest airline to serve SBN, is adding a third destination from our region."

"The South Bend region is on a roll with announcement after announcement and this news is just one example of the truly remarkable growth we’re seeing across the state," said Indiana Secretary of Commerce David Rosenberg. "As we invest more in our communities through programs like READI, it’s vital that we have more transit opportunities in and out of communities like South Bend to keep pace with increasing demand."

"After announcing service from South Bend in the last month, we are back with more," said David Neeleman, Breeze Airways’ Founder and CEO. "South Bend has never seen service to Washington Dulles and connecting the city with the nation’s capital will no doubt be a positive impact for the community. With a great Guest experience, including elevated seating options, fast WiFi and added affordability, we’re setting ourselves apart as nice people, flying nice people, to nice places. This new route will allow the community to more affordably and conveniently travel right from their own backyard."

Breeze, which was recently ranked in the top five of Travel + Leisure’s "Best Domestic Airlines" for the third year in a row, began selling service from just 16 cities in May 2021. Since then, the airline has seen tremendous demand for its "Nice Low Cost Carrier" business model that marries efficiency and affordability with comfort and accessibility.

Coupled with an elevated experience featuring premium seating options and high-speed WiFi on its fleet of brand-new Airbus A220-300 aircraft, Breeze is defining what it means to be "Seriously Nice" in an industry that has been anything but. Breeze offers both bundled and a la carte options so travelers can customize an experience that fits their needs. Breeze’s fare bundles feature full flexibility along with other add-ons such as bags, seats, and inflight WiFi.

Breeze doesn’t charge change or cancellation fees up to 60 minutes prior to departure and offers other benefits such as free family seating and a la carte pricing. With seamless booking, no change or cancellation fees, up to 24-months of reusable flight credit and customized flight features delivered via a sleek and simple app, Breeze makes it easy to buy and easy to fly.
