Salt Lake City, Nov. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Breeze Airways, the industry’s first and only “NLCC,” or Nice Low-Cost , today kicked off celebrations for its fourth annual Breeze Kindness Week. The week-long celebration takes place each year in November in observance of World Kindness Day, which the company has adopted as an opportunity to perform random acts of service in honor of one of its core values of kindness. This year, the airline’s Team Members, Guests and community partners will work together to spread kindness across all 50 states.
In celebration of Breeze Kindness Week, the airline launched a promotion offering 50 percent off* all roundtrip base fares across its nationwide network. Starting Tuesday, November 12 through Wednesday, November 13 at 11:59pmPT, travelers can book a roundtrip flight at flybreeze.com, or on the Breeze app, and enter “BEKIND” at checkout for travel through February 12, 2025.
This year, the kickoff of Kindness Week coincides with Veteran’s Day. In recognition of this special day, the airline also announced it will extend its current travel offering for active military personnel – which includes two complimentary checked bags, a carry-on and priority boarding – to include a 20 percent onboard discount for snacks and beverages. In addition, Breeze announced it is extending special benefits to retired military personnel. Starting today, all Veterans with a valid military ID will enjoy priority boarding and a 20 percent onboard discount for snacks and beverages.
"We are grateful to all current and former military members for their dedication and sacrifice to protect our country and our freedoms,” Neeleman said. “We are proud to extend additional benefits to these honored Guests and hope to continue expanding these benefits in the future as a small way of thanking them for their service this Veteran’s Day and every day.”

Breeze will also sponsor several other service projects throughout the week across its network, led by former Harlem Globetrotter, motivational speaker, and three-time Breeze Kindness Week Ambassador Herbert “Flight Time” Lang. From partnering with the Charleston Battery, Tampa Bay Lightning and the Jacksonville Jaguars to volunteer in their local communities, to handing out “Nice Cards” with bonus BreezePoints at community events and onboard some of its flights, Lang and Breeze are hoping to inspire people in all 50 states to embrace and share kindness in their own communities.
“I’m very excited and grateful to return as the official Breeze Kindness Week Ambassador,” Lang said. “My message to everyone I meet is to remember that ‘kindness is free.’ Breeze Kindness Week is one of my favorite ongoing opportunities to put those words into practice.”
Anyone that wishes to participate in Breeze Kindness Week can tag @BreezeAirways on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and TikTok using hashtag #TagYoureNice to share their experiences and “tag” someone in their network to do the same.
