Here's the news release from Breeze:

Breeze Airways, the premium leisure carrier providing affordable, direct flights from underserved markets, today announced two new nonstop routes from Tallahassee International Airport (TLH) to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Raleigh-Durham, N.C.

“We are excited to bring Breeze’s affordable and convenient service to the state capital of Florida,” said David Neeleman, founder and CEO of Breeze Airways. “These two previously unserved destinations link Tallahassee with great travel options, and we look forward to welcoming the community onboard in July.”

Beginning today, Tallahassee travelers can book flights on Breeze to:

  • Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (nonstop on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays starting July 2, from $39* one way); and 
  • Raleigh-Durham, N.C. (nonstop on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays starting July 2, from $39* one way). 

“We are thrilled to welcome Breeze Airways to Tallahassee. As we continue to make strategic investments to expand air service, this new addition is an exciting step forward,” said City of Tallahassee Aviation Director David Pollard.  “It directly advances our objective to increase economic impact, passenger traffic and cargo activity. Most importantly, it means more convenient travel options for our residents and visitors.”

Known for its flexible network that conveniently connects travelers directly to underserved cities nationwide, Breeze is making air travel more accessible to millions of travelers coast to coast.

Coupled with its brand-new fleet of Airbus A220-300 aircraft and premium products like free family seating, fast onboard WiFi, preferred seat options, and no change or cancel fees, Breeze is making it nice to fly affordably.

Breeze was named one of Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2025 for its fresh take on affordable flying that is transforming low-cost air travel into a nice experience.

It was also named the Best Major Airline in North America by the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX), as well as the No. 3 Best Domestic Airline by Travel + Leisure in 2025, placing Breeze in the list’s top four every year since it began flying.
