Cheap direct flights debut from San Bernardino California to Las Vegas from Breeze Airways

Those looking to visit the sights and buffets of Sin City can get there even faster with a new direct flight from the Inland Empire.

Direct flights from low-cost carrier Breeze Airways will soon be offered from San Bernardino International Airport (SBD) to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.

Flights are scheduled to begin on February 16, 2023. Seats are available for as little as $29 one way.

Return flights will operate every Thursday and Sunday. Travelers flying out of SBD can now connect directly to San Francisco, Hartford, Connecticut and Provo, Utah.

Passengers will fly on an Airbus A220 aircraft that includes three seat classes – Nice, Nicer and Nicest.

Travelers flying out of SBD can access on-site parking for five dollars per day.

Breeze Airways, a Utah-based airline, focuses on low-cost tickets “that connect travelers in underserved cities with air service to the American destinations they want to visit most.”

Founded by David Neeleman, Breeze Airways is the fifth airline launched by Neeleman, who also founded JetBlue Airways, Morris Air, Azul Airlines in Brazil and WestJet in Canada.

“Breeze has made an important impact in our community as residents have embraced affordability and exciting destinations,” said SBD CEO Michael Burrows. “San Bernardino International Airport continues to elevate its presence in the Southern California region and on the US route map as we now offer coast-to-coast service.”

The airline says it does not charge fees for canceling or changing flights, even up to 15 minutes before flight time. The company uses an app for customers to book, manage or cancel flights and does not operate a traditional call center. Guests will communicate with staff via text message, Facebook Messenger or email correspondence.
