SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Breeze Airways, the Seriously Nice™ new U.S. low-fare airline founded by aviation entrepreneur David Neeleman, has offered family seating at no added cost since its inception. Coupled with no change and cancellation fees, Breeze makes booking and traveling with children as easy as possible.
On Friday, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) called on U.S. airlines to stop charging families to sit together on a flight.
“As a dad of two little girls, this policy is something I – and everyone in our organization – truly values,” stated Lukas Johnson, Breeze’s Chief Commercial Officer. “Allowing families with young children to select seats together at no additional charge, even when they book our ‘Nice’ bundle, is something that sets us apart and demonstrates how much we care about our Guests.”
Adults traveling with children up to 12 years old on Breeze can select seats free of charge in the designated “family section” at the time of booking. Breeze only charges for advance seat assignments as part of the Nice bundle. Advanced seat assignments are included as part of Nicer and Nicest bundles.
The policy states that each child can be seated with up to two adults. When more than one child travels, family seating includes one adult per child. The full policy can be found here.
Seating assignments are “first come, first served” so Breeze suggests families traveling with children book as far in advance as possible and reserve seats at the time of booking.
