This exciting new seasonal service will offer Lowcountry residents a convenient and affordable escape to a tropical paradise.
The weekly Saturday flight is scheduled to commence on January 17, 2026.

This nonstop flight will eliminate layovers and travel hassles, making your vacation start the moment you leave Charleston.
"Cancún is a strong Latin getaway market and a 'natural fit' to launch from Charleston," said Breeze’s Chief Commercial Officer Lukas Johnson. He also indicated that increased flight frequency and additional destinations could be added in the future, depending on demand. This announcement follows hints from Breeze Airways founder and CEO David Neeleman, who expressed his pride in Charleston being Breeze's "home" during a groundbreaking ceremony at CHS in July.
Cancún offers a diverse range of attractions, from pristine white-sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters to ancient Mayan ruins and lush jungles.
