Sign in to your Simple Flying account US-based startup carrier Breeze Airways offers a range of lengthy one-stop domestic flights branded as 'BreezThru.' These services typically link a destination on the East Coast of the United States of America with one on the West Coast (or vice versa) with a stop en route. Unlike a connecting flight, these services retain the same aircraft and flight number, and passengers can stay onboard the plane. Such is the geographical spread of the US that, according to current scheduling data made available by Cirium, an aviation analytics company, some of these Airbus A220-operated flights can take more than nine hours from end to end when all is said and done. In this article, we will take a look at where these services operate, and see how they compare to Breeze Airways' longest nonstop route. Nine Hours In The Saddle Looking at data for the period spanning from August through March 2027, we can see that two BreezThru routes have maximum block times in excess of nine hours. Both of these originate on the East Coast at Bradley International Airport (BDL) in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. The longest takes nine hours and 18 minutes, and its destination is Los Angeles International Airport. As seen in the map above, this flight stops at Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) in Florida on its way to Southern California. Only three minutes shorter is the BreezeThru route from Windsor Locks to John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Orange County, California, which takes nine hours and 15 minutes and stops at Orlando International Airport (MCO) in Florida enroute. The carrier explained how its BreezeThru flights can be convenient for passengers. "BreezeThru flights include a quick stop at an airport along the way to your destination. (...) There's no need to change planes or recheck bags. Your reservation will have a single confirmation number for both segments." Other One-Stop Odysseys Between August and March, Breeze has a further nine one-stop cross-country A220-300 routes that take between eight and nine hours. The longest of these also originates in Windsor Locks, and serves Las Vegas via Jacksonville with a top block time of eight hours and 56 minutes. Interestingly, the four shortest routes in the eight-to nine-hour window also start at BDL. Two of these serve the aforementioned destinations of Los Angeles and Orange County, but with different stopovers. Specifically, flying to LAX via Charleston takes eight hours and 28 minutes, while the flight to Orange County via Raleigh-Durham tops out at eight hours and one minute. Elsewhere, BDL to Phoenix and Provo both take eight hours and four minutes via Norfolk.

Elsewhere, Richmond (RIC) is the mid-point of two 8.5-hour routes from Charleston to San Francisco and Tampa to Vegas. Breeze's Longest Non-Stop Route As we conclude, it is worth briefly touching upon where Breeze Airways' longest nonstop route can be found. The service in question originates at TF Green International Airport in Providence, Rhode Island, and its destination is Los Angeles International Airport. Cirium shows that, from August 2026 to March 2027, westbound flights on this route have a top block time of six hours and 22 minutes. According to Flightradar24, the actual time spent in the air when flying in this direction tends to be closer to around five hours and 35 minutes. MX780 leaves Providence twice a week at 5:09 PM, touching down at LAX at 8:31 PM local time. As for the return flight, MX781 is booked to take five hours and 46 minutes, leaving LAX at 9:29 PM and reaching Providence at 6:15 AM the next day.
