"As a family of five who travels a lot, I'm always looking for the best deal because air travel can get expensive very quickly. When we planned a recent trip from Portland, Maine, to Pittsburgh over the holiday break, low-cost flights from Breeze Airways caught my eye. They were also the only direct routes available, yet I was hesitant to book with the low-budget airline after reading negative online reviews that mentioned frustrations about delayed flights and hidden fees."
"Our options with other airlines had at least one stop (which I try to avoid when traveling with kids), and five tickets started at over $2,000. I purchased our tickets in July and chose the cheapest seats, which also had the most restrictions - no checked luggage, no carry-ons, a fee to select certain seats, and only one personal item allowed per person."
A family of five needed a direct flight from Portland, Maine, to Pittsburgh and chose Breeze Airways as the only direct option. The family hesitated because of negative online reviews about delays and hidden fees but booked due to budget constraints. Five tickets plus two carry-ons cost $1,790, significantly cheaper than other airlines that required at least one stop and started above $2,000. Tickets were purchased in July in the cheapest fare class with many restrictions: no checked luggage, no included carry-ons, seat selection fees, and one free personal item per person. The family packed light, paid for two carry-ons, used small backpacks for the children, experienced no issues, and added the airline to their go-to options.
