Budget airline launches new flights from LAX, John Wayne
An affordable airline that services Southern California is adding more flights in and out of LAX and John Wayne Airport.
On Tuesday, Breeze Airways announced it would be adding three new seasonal flights from LAX and one new seasonal flight from Orange County.
The new Los Angeles destinations will be:
- Madison, Wisconsin: Wednesdays and Saturdays — starting May 22, from $99 one way
- Akron-Canton, Ohio: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays — starting May 23, from $119 one way
- Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina: Mondays and Fridays — starting May 24, from $139 one way
The new Orange County service will offer flights to:
- Tampa, Florida: Mondays and Fridays — starting May 31, from $139 one way
All flights are seasonal for the summer, the airline said, and those introductory rates are only available when booking a new reservation by Jan. 29. Taxes and additional fees are included.
Breeze began flying in March 2021 and has quickly expanded, offering dozens of nonstop flights from airports around the country. The budget airline began serving LAX in November 2022 and John Wayne Airport in February 2023.
It also offers direct flights to Las Vegas from San Bernardino International Airport.
“Since we started flying in May 2021, Breeze has continued to add desirable destinations to our rapidly growing footprint,” said CEO and founder David Neeleman. “These new additions from Los Angeles and Orange County will surely be welcomed as we bring efficient, affordable and elevated travel to more underserved markets.”
The Utah-based airline says its business model centers around serving underserved cities and offering “affordable fares with plenty of perks,” including fewer fees, free family seating and enhanced seating options. Breeze says it doesn’t charge for changes or cancellations up to 15 minutes before departure and offers other benefits like a la carte pricing.
Closing arguments were held today in the civil trial to determine the financial responsibility for the deaths of 11-year-old Mark Iskander and 8-year-old Jacob Iskander, who were hit and killed while crossing the street with their family in Westlake Village in September of 2020.

Sticker shock not just affecting World Cup match ticket prices, but parking costs too
Many people who are going to a World Cup match this summer, including the author of this article, forked over some serious money to get inside the stadium to see some action.

Ballots burned, vote center vandalized in possible acts of election interference, Los Angeles County officials say
Ballots were found burned and a voting center in Long Beach was vandalized in what could be two separate acts of attempted election interference ahead of the June 2 primary election, the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder announced Sunday.
The burned ballots were discovered inside an official ballot drop box at the Department of Public Social Services-Civic Center in Los Angeles, during routine ballot collections, according to the county registrar-recorder.
“Staff identified a limited number of vote-by-mail ballots that appeared to have sustained fire-related damage,” the county registrar-recorder said.
The fire happened sometime between the last ballot collection on Saturday and first ballot collection on Sunday, resulting in a “small number” of affected ballots, officials said.
On Sunday morning, vandalism was found at the voting center in Cesar E. Chavez Park in Long Beach. Election workers responded and voting operations were not disrupted, according to the county registrar-recorder.
The county registrar-recorder said that it is “carefully reviewing both incidents and working to identify any voters who may have been affected.”
Voters whose ballots were affected by the fire will be contacted directly and given information on how to recast their vote. Replacement ballots are a possibility, the county registrar-recorder said.
The county registrar-recorder has filed reports with the Los Angeles Police Department following the incidents. Los Angeles County Clerk Dean Logan issued a statement Sunday reminding the public that attempts to disrupt voting, damage election infrastructure, interfere with voters, or vandalize election facilities “will not be tolerated.”
“Our responsibility is to protect voters and ensure every eligible voter has the opportunity to cast a ballot,” Logan said. “Any attempt to interfere with voting or election operations is taken seriously. We will continue working closely with law enforcement and other partners to safeguard the voting process and ensure voters can participate with confidence.”
The public is encouraged to report any suspicious activity involving election materials, election facilities, or voting operations to the county registrar-recorder by calling (800) 815-2666.
