LUZERNE COUNTY, Pa. — A new low-cost airline offering direct flights to Florida is coming to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport beginning in 2024, according to a release from Breeze Airways.
The airline announced Wednesday that they will offer flights from Avoca to Orlando, FL, starting January 30, 2024.
Breeze will offer flights from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton to Orlando on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
“This is great news that Breeze Airways will be serving Northeastern Pennsylvania with service to Orlando,” said Carl R. Beardsley, AVP executive director. “Orlando is one of our top destinations, and we are excited that Breeze will provide our area’s families and businesses with convenient, nonstop service to Orlando.”
Airport officials say this fills a need that the airport has had since Allegiant Airlines restructured its offerings and pulled the service from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2018.
Fares on the new nonstop route start from $59 one-way if purchased by November 14, for travel by September 3, 2024, according to Breeze.
Breeze is also currently offering 35% off roundtrip bookings using the code ‘BENICE’ on flights from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
