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.

‘What’s going on with our society?’ Elderly L.A. street vendor violently beaten
WARNING: Video footage contains graphic violence
A 62-year-old street vendor is recovering after a brutally violent attack by another woman in broad daylight as bystanders in downtown Los Angeles looked on.
The attack happened around 4 p.m. on June 15 in the 700 block of Figueroa Street, where Arabelia Martinez has sold hot dogs for years to support herself and her family.
Video of the incident, which has since circulated widely online, appears to show a woman confronting Martinez at her stand before spraying sauce across the vendor’s cart. Martinez responds by throwing what appears to be Tajín seasoning in the woman’s direction, and the confrontation quickly escalates.
The difficult-to-watch footage shows Martinez being shoved to the ground and struck multiple times as people look on. Some can be seen attempting to intervene, but the assault continues for roughly a minute before coming to an end.
“I was speechless,” Martinez’s son, Constantino Garcia, said after watching the video. “I couldn’t even see the whole thing.”
According to Garcia, the suspect approached his mother before the attack and attempted to intimidate her into giving her money.
“The lady came up to my mom trying to intimidate her and extort her for money, telling her she needed a permit to sell, which my mom does have,” Garcia told KTLA’s Carlos Saucedo.
When Martinez refused, Garcia claims the woman became verbally abusive.
“After she didn’t get her way and tried to extort my mom, she said, ‘Go back to Mexico,’ and made some racist remarks,” he said. “She said some disgusting things to my mom.”
Garcia said his mother continues to suffer lingering effects from the attack.
“She keeps complaining about her head,” he said. “We need to go see a head specialist because her head doesn’t stop hurting. As you could see in the video, she got slammed to the ground.”
The video has also sparked outrage over the response from some witnesses who were nearby during the assault.
“What’s going on with our society?” Garcia said. “Are we getting desensitized to an elderly woman being beaten in broad daylight and being surrounded by people doing the bare minimum to help her? That was horrible for me to watch.”
Witness Sebastian Gutierrez said he arrived moments after the confrontation and saw Garcia’s attacker causing additional chaos in the area.
“The lady began to flip over the tables of vendors,” Gutierrez said, describing the woman as possibly unstable. “It definitely seemed like there were mental health issues or drugs involved, like we see with a lot of things here in downtown L.A.,” he said.
The Los Angeles Police Department has launched a battery investigation into the incident KTLA confirmed, though no suspect information or news of a potential arrest has been released.
Meanwhile, Martinez’s family has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help with her recovery and raise awareness about the dangers street vendors face daily.
“I hope that my mom gets justice for what happened to her,” Garcia said. He added that he’s been encouraged by the public response to the video.
“I’m grateful people are sympathizing with my mom,” he said. “People are giving it the attention it deserves.”
