Breeze Flights from RIC to Savannah

It's common knowledge, passed down from one savvy traveler to the next, that a trip from Richmond to Savannah on Breeze Airlines blends the exact right amount of southern charm and aviation adventure. Now, I understand that many of you might be searching high and low, hoping against all hope for those elusive "cheap flights", notably the ones that don't equate to being herded like cattle into a claustrophobic sky-bound bus. Believe me, I've been there. Nothing quite prepares you for the horror of being crammed next to a snoring businessman clutching his clichéd polyester blend suit, or worse, behind the all too ordinary, yet oh-so irritating, crying baby.

But fear not, dear travelers for with Breeze, you are saved from such mundane tragicomedies. Whether you take round-trip or one-way, you're entitled to a travel experience which, dare I say, is a bit on the breezy side. The flight duration is just long enough for you to catch an episode or two of your favorite Netflix series (hello, in-flight services), but not so long that your backside forms a lifelong vendetta against you.

Now, a word of caution. Sometimes, just sometimes, Breeze acts out like a rebellious teen, forcing you to deal with layovers. In the language of the common traveler, this translates to those dreadful connecting flights. Surely, there is no despair like being waylaid for hours in a city you have no intention of exploring. But remember, a layover is not at all a poor reflection on Breeze. It's often a dictated sacrifice made at the altar of airfare economy.

For those of you who enjoy flying the southern skies at the witching hour, there is of course, the iconic red-eye flight. I must confess there is something oddly comforting and paradoxically entertaining about flying through the hours when decent folk should be fast asleep. Whether you can handle it or not, is up to your inner vampires to decide. For you see, Breeze is not just an airline, it's a test of character, a rite of passage, if you will.

Now, it's not just about flying. Breeze wants to reward you for being a frequent flyer, often dolling out miles like a generous aunt during Christmas. Their mileage program, unlike other airlines, is as real as the Bermuda Triangle mystery, and miles are not vaporized into thin air once you reach the counter. So take heart brave adventurers, for your loyalty is richly rewarded.

When booking your trip, remember the golden rule, go economy class if you are a beach-sandal-wearing, noodle-slurping, backpack-toting wanderer. For our sophisticates, business class is where you should be heading; or perhaps, even the throne that is the first-class. Anyway, irrespective of the class you choose, Breeze assures you an unforgettable ride in the clouds.

Of course, there is also the matter of baggage allowance. You would think it would be fairly straightforward. A suitcase is a suitcase is a suitcase, is what Gertrude Stein might have said if she were interested in the travails of modern aviation. However, the folks at Breeze have crafted an often bewildering, occasionally amusing, selection of rules and restrictions. But do not let this deter you, fellow voyagers. The key is to pack judiciously and remember, less is indeed more, especially when it comes to escaping additional fees.

Lamentably, despite the best intentions, complications can arise and you might find yourself faced with the dreaded flight cancellation policy. But fret not dear travelers, for Breeze’s cancellation policy is not created to leave you high and dry. It's like a stoic friend, comforting you during turbulent times (pun intended).

So, dear readers. At this juncture, I implore you to let go of preconceived notions and embrace the Breeze. Because life is not about the destination, it's about the delightfully satirical journey and, in this case, it's the direct flights to Savannah that really make it all worthwhile.
