At Long Island-MacArthur, Breeze has nonstop flights (as of 2024) to Virginia (Norfolk and Richmond), Maine (Portland), the Carolinas (Raleigh/Durham and Charleston), and Vero Beach, FL! Currently most flights out of MacArthur go to Florida, though transatlantic low-cost carriers have looked into using MacArthur! The area around Ronkonkoma station and Long Island-MacArthur has been going through some amazing change as it wants to attract more airlines like it! The current southern lot of the LIRR's Ronkonkoma station will be transformed into a new community with a hotel, a life sciences hub, daily services and destination retail, a convention center, and a new north terminal for the airport to better connect the airport with the station, connecting it with an 1800-foot pedestrian corridor! This project goes with the TOD residential project north of the Ronkonkoma station called Station Yards! In total, the Ronkonkoma Hub will feature 1,450 new apartments, 360,000 square feet of office space, and 195,000 square feet of new retail space!

I'm flying this week coming, I've heard only good comments other than a6'4" man said he needed more room but didn't purchase an upgraded seat

Wish TF Green Airport was served 7 days a week by MBTA. Would be much more convenient for RI residents to get to and from the airport.

My takeaway is that amtrak needs to extend the keystone and electrification to pittsburgh

Until 1854, Rhode Island had FIVE state capitals that rotated, Kingston, Providence, Newport, Bristol and East Greenwich! Yes, five! Similar to how South Africa has three capitals, Cape Town as the legislative capital, Pretoria for the executive capital, and Bloemfontein for the judicial capital. Providence became the sole Rhode Island capital in 1900! Although Roger Williams founded the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, another European showed up in Rhode Island before Roger Williams did. William Blaxton from Lincolnshire, decided to join the Ferdinando Gorges Expedition in 1623. Ferdinando Gorges is the man heavily involved in British colonization of New England, including having a land grant for Maine, but never actually set foot in the Americas. Back to William. The expedition of 1623 was considered a failure and while most of his fellow settlers returned home, he decided to live on the Shawmut Peninsula (now old Boston) alone in 1625. Making him the first European to settle Boston (Blaxton's land is now Boston Common) However, he didn't stay there as he didn't like leaders of the Boston church, so he decided to move south to what is now Cumberland, Rhode Island. The first to settle Rhode Island in 1635, one year before Roger Williams founded the Providence Plantations.

One correction on your report. Besides water, coffee & hot tea are available free in all 3 classes (A220) or 2 classes (E190/195). I have flown MX to/from CAK & MCO, PBI, & LAS, all in Nicest (except PBI because it was an E195) & do not find them "bizarre". The fares were very reasonable. The round trip CAK/LAS was only $448.00 up front (this was over a year ago; fares are higher today but still cheaper than Legacy carriers). Only one flight was 25 minutes late (crew made up some time & reached destination gate only 10 minutes late). Most flights arrived early & the load factor was high on all. We are flying them next week CMH-SNA up front in Nicest for only $308.00 one way. Next month, I'm flying CAK-LAX for $354.00 in Nicest section & returning on UA LAX-CLE (CLE is only 40 miles from CAK) & my First/Business Class ticket on them is $856.00. You should fly in the Nicer section. Out of curiosity, I researched fares for June 19 (MX PVD-PIT; DL BOS-PIT). MX was $168. in Nicer & that includes 1 free checked bag, advanced seat assignment, & 3" more legroom. DL flights that day are $259. Comfort+ ($309 for fully refundable). I fly DL & UA a lot but find myself using MX more & more. It will be nice when their fleet is only the A220 for scheduled service.

T. F. Green Airport was dedicated on September 27, 1931 as Hillsgrove State Airport, with two air shows that drew a crowd of over 150,000, drawing what was at that time the largest crowd to attend a public function in the country! Hillsgrove State Airport was renamed after Theodore Francis Green in 1938 who had just been elected to the Senate two years earlier and was Rhode Island's governor from 1933 to 1937. He was in the Senate from 1937 to 1961 and served as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 1957 to 1959. At the time of his retirement in 1961, he set the record at age 93 of the oldest person to serve in the Senate. The record was subsequently broken by notorious SC senator Strom Thurmond who turned 100 in 2002 while in office and retired in 2003.

We need High-Speed Rail

Very curious to fly Breeze - I had to cancel a flight because they switched it by over 24 hours and they refunded me. Also their flight attendants unionized I think so thats encouraging

Love the Escalator cameo!

Now that point-to-point model through smaller airports is familiar to me, living, as I do, within DLR range of LCY - bet TF Green security is humane about medical devices too. Thanks for highlighting a US airline I might actually want to use whenever I'm over - yes please to Lancaster flying content! Did Miles introduce you to his friend [REDACTED]? \m/

Breeze now having flights out of MHT. Flights there to MCO, CHS, and RSW.

I ended up flying into my local airport for the first time in April when I was coming back from seeing the eclipse in Buffalo. I actually saw the eclipse at Niagara Falls Ontario but I flew home the next day from Buffalo. Originally I booked a flight to Washington DC so I could take the Virginia breeze bus home. A week before the trip Delta Airlines canceled my flight and rebooked me on another flight that got in 3 hours after the last bus of the day left. Fortunately they gave me one free rebooking. All the flights that arrived in time to catch the bus were solid out so I lost my money i paid for the bus ticket but I sure didn't want to have to pay for a hotel in DC especially booking less than a week in advance. I looked at flights to the Charlottesville airport and to my great surprise I found one that was only 9 dollars more than my old ticket was and they were willing to put the entire price I payed for the original ticket towards the new one. I decided to buy the ticket. Getting home was still quite an adventure. There's absolutely no transit to the Charlottesville Airport so I had to walk 7 kilometers through a rich neighborhood and down a long paved walking and biking trail to nearest bus stop and took that bus to where I could catch the bus to the downtown transit station and take the commuter bus back to the edge of my hometown. I was able to take the local bus a little deeper into town but I still had to walk another three kilometers to finally get home. Uber wanted 135 dollars to get home from the airport. I did it for just 3.50 and a set of slightly sore knees 🤣

Providence airport is in…Warwick!

"Cancer is bad"

Seems like Breeze serves a really interesting niche

I thought Milesintransit is still a Student

I was supposed to take a Breeze flight from Orlando to Wilkes-Barre Scranton but that fell through. One day I'll try them out.

Very nice

I was engaged to my now-wife long distance for 2.5 years, in college. Her first flight ever was to come see me there. Southern Airways Express from BWI to Morgantown. Before this, she swore she would never get on a plane (her birthday happens to be September 11th). She loves to tell people how we had a love so strong, it got her on a plane, and "a puddle jumper, no less!"

From Providence! All the breeze flights out of TFG is really a game changer! It's super cool and a little surreal to see you here!

How do you bring up Lancaster at the moment I’m there?

You missed out if you didn't use TF Green's restrooms. It's nicer than the ones at the Waldorf.

Can't wait to see this... I've flown Breeze a couple dozen times including on several of their inaugural flights (I've got a ton of Breeze swag) - and am one of Miles' patreons always throwing in my 2 cents on his airline stuff haha

“serial airline entrepreneur” lol

“Today we are flying an Embraer E19-ACHOO”

Horrible customer service. I was unable to cancel a fight because the computer said they could not find my flight. Then I contacted customer service which is through chat only. Did this over and over again and lost all my money!

Coffee milk is so uniquely Rhode Island that Massachusettians are barely aware of it. Kind of like how Rhode Island calls frappes cabinets!

Awesome!

the legroom looks awful. I'm getting blood clots just looking at it. airline execs need to face the consequences of their actions.

TPA-PIT?

Solid video as always, Manassas Airport near me is scheduled to start commercial flights in the next few years. It would be cool if Breeze could serve the airport as an alternative to Dulles and national airport. Id definitely be on the first flight out!

Flown Breeze twice like it a lot

PVD…ahhh…know it well. Let me tell you young whippersnappers of a time when Southwest was still a low cost airline (they’re pretty much legacy now, but that’s a discussion for a different time) and they still had an “effect”. There was a time over 20 years ago when PHL was a very expensive place to fly. US Airways had their fortress hub. And that rootin tootin cowboy Herb Kelleher came to save us from high prices. This was also a time when Southwest avoided big cities, so their flights to “Boston” were actually to Providence or Manchester, NH. In response to their four flights a day, US matched their $29 fares and flew like 17 times a day to PVD. You couldn’t drive to Boston for that little gas and tolls alone! One time US rolled out a 757 on this lane and the flight I was on had like 20 people on it. Insane! One time I flew Southwest from PVD to ISP. It was the shortest flight in their system at the time. Fun fact, at that time, their longest flight was also from PVD: PHX. The sassy steward said the company requires us to offer a beverage. I’ll walk down the aisle with cups of Coke, Diet Coke, or Sprite. That’s it, no special orders. It took less than 20 minutes and I don’t think we got above 9000 ft.

I did not know norfolk was pronounced like that

I love Breeze! I love that I can go non-stop from RSW to CHS! The only bad thing is it is one flight at 7 AM and only 3 times a week.

You know Omaha is flyover country when not even basically the small city airline flies over with no flights landing

Hi Miles!

I flew Breeze last week to NY and back was very enjoyable will fly them again and recommended others to do the same...it took me longer to drive home from the airport to fly back from NY

I want to fly Breeze, but I'd have to get to another location where they have flights for them first since my state doesn't have Breeze Airways services. Also I feel like their routes are a bit odd and make no sense to me, which you also did mention were unusual too. I've been curious about them ever since I first heard about them in 2021. Just need a good flight path to consider and going from there. But I also don't want to get on one of their flights without having a reason to be my eventual destination. (I like going places to explore them and find out something new about them I didnt know before), though nothing wrong with just traveling somewhere just to travel. Great video as always!

Miles would always use clips like your Bloopers in his videos....

Instead of flying to Boston, they fly to bedford just soo weird

Useless fact: Most of Rhode Island is on the mainland, not the real Rhode Island.

It's a great concept for under-served cities left off the HUB part of the spoke in the aviation sector. I especially love the use of Embraer and Bombardier/Airbus aircraft and smaller, cozier airports. As someone with agoraphobia airports like JFK or Heathrow give me nightmares... Edmonton, my hometown, is the same way. It took the launching of Flair Airlines, using a similar ULCC P2P route, to get us connected to other cities either directly with them or by forcing other airlines to offer better services. Westjet just launched a daily Edmonton-Atlanta flight for example giving us a daily Southeastern flight for the first time, though we've lost our New York and Chicago ones since the pandemic... And while it might not be cheaper than connecting via Calgary or Toronto it's at least less stressful and more direct for the people nearby... Always a bonus...

6:49 I did not notice that. then again I wanted to make my ride home. i did get a providence Postcard from the shop there

Delta wifi is now free on most flights and they have setback screens too

Miles isn’t fooling me saying that t-shirt is from U Providence! I recognize a Pitt shirt any day of the week.

The only reason Delta was similar price is Breeze…..

First time on breeze will definitely fly again

Iberia only has 1 flight out of Nice, back to Madrid. However, the bus I had to take was very early. Thankfully, European airports have landside shops, so I had 90mins-2hrs still to wait and could get breakfast even on top of the bus being like 40mins+ late like it was going from Marseille to Cannes days earlier

Awesome airline
