where did you read this for 2023? This is last year's news. Nothing has been canceled or suspended for 2023.
That's great news then. I read it on some aviation website I don't remember which one. I'm sorry I posted it then. I didn't realize it was old news that was being posted. I'm flying up to Providence next week from Jacksonville on Southwest. I intentionally didn't buy on Breeze even though I think their flight is nonstop. I just assumed that was cancelled also. I honestly can't tell anymore what airlines are doing. Anyway again I'm sorry I posted that incorrect information on the Breeze flights, but very glad those flights are still scheduled especially the LAX nonstop flight.
I’m seeing that the A220 (Bombardier) jets Breeze is buying have 30” seat pitch and only two rows of extra legroom seats. There are also “nicest” first class seats at 2.5x the price. NFW I’m flying to LA in a 30” seat pitch seat. That’s a 6+ hour flight into the headwind.

The pitch is tight, but they're also "slimline" seats. So not only is there not much legroom (still 2 inches more than Spirit), but there's also minimal padding. Fine for a a short hop (I've done PVD to CVG and PIT on the A220), but not ideal for more than a couple of hours.
That said, the A220 overall is a really nice plane. Like the 787 and the A350, the cabin is pressurized to a lower altitude (6,000 feet vs. 8,000) and kept at higher humidity which makes for a noticeable improvement on the comfort front (less dry skin, clogged ears, etc.). The air circulation tech is better too. the 2 x 3 configuration is nice too - about half as many middle seats as you'll find on a 737/a320. The "nicest"/first class seats are comfortable (in line with domestic business/first on legacy carriers), but it's still an economy product so you're not going to get meal service, complimentary drinks, or any other first/business class perks.

I travel often with dogs. For some reason some of the Airbus models can't (or won't) accommodate pets in airconditioned cargo or baggage. It frustrating going to the Caribbean when changing planes & the best connection has a plane not accommodating dogs underneath.

Interesting, I didn't know that was an issue. That's frustrating. I'm not sure if that would be the case with the A220. It's "Airbus" in name only. It was originally designed, developed, and launched by Bombardier as the CSeries. It actually flew passengers for several years as the CS-100/300 before Airbus rebranded it as the A220. So I wonder if it'll have the same issues?
