Breeze Airways Baggage Fees (2026)
Quick summary
Breeze Airways is a US low-cost carrier (founded by JetBlue's David Neeleman) flying point-to-point on underserved routes, with three fare tiers: Nice, Nicer, and Nicest. The base Nice fare includes only a free personal item — carry-on and checked bags cost extra. Nicer adds a carry-on and a checked bag, and Nicest (first-class style) includes more. Bag prices are dynamic and vary by route, date, and when you buy, so adding bags at booking is cheapest.
At a glance
🎒 Personal item
Free on all fares. One personal item up to 17 x 13 x 8 in that fits under the seat in front of you.
🧳 Carry-on
Allowed up to 22 x 14 x 9 in (including handles/wheels), max 35 lb. Included on Nicer and Nicest fares. On a Nice fare a carry-on costs roughly $30–$35 at booking (shorter routes near $30, transcontinental near $35); buying later or at the airport costs more.

🔁 Change & cancellation
Breeze charges no change or cancellation fees, but refunds depend on fare type — changes/cancellations are typically credited as Breeze travel points (BreezePoints) rather than cash on lower fares. Higher fares offer more flexibility. Review your fare's terms before booking.

How to avoid extra fees
- Compare the all-in cost of a Nicer fare versus a Nice fare plus paid carry-on and checked bag — the bundle often wins.
- Add bags during booking; airport checked-bag fees can reach about $75 per bag.
- Bag pricing is dynamic — check your exact route and dates rather than relying on a flat rate.
- Breeze has no change fees, so booking early carries little downside if plans shift (note: credit, not always cash).
