Breeze Airways In Person Discount?

[FreeTime]

I’m lucky enough that the routes I fly with them they literally just go back and forth between the same 2 destinations so delays have never happened. I always land early which is slightly frustrating. I have figured out that they overstate time in air in order to keep up their on time rate

Same here. Only fly them to one nonstop location. Get the nicest for way less than than anyone else. I agree about the timing. First time I asked my co-traveler, “we are there already? It has only been an hour. That is not what the flight time said!”

Why aren't they charging $1 for the airfare then a $300 for an assigned seat fee? No different that the nonsense they pull in Las Vegas with the $19 rooms and $59 resort fees.

The law would change if real airlines tried that strategy.

I've booked dollar fares on Frontier. I paid 911 security fee and the airport facilities fee and some misc fees. Total one way $15.98

A co-worker told me that Breeze Airways offers discounts on tickets if purchased in-person at the airport counter on Tuesdays. I did some research and found the following:
Breeze Airways offers "Ticket Tuesday" in-person discounts, allowing travelers to save by booking directly at airport ticket counters, typically between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM ET. This method avoids online booking fees and the "Technology Development Charge," offering lower fares on many routes.

Does anyone know exactly what type of savings this amounts to?
Has anyone every done this?

I live 8 minutes from the airport, so it wouldn't be much of a hassle to try it out

We've done this several times. The savings is approximately $23 each way per ticket, but I think it depends on the specific locations. What I've found, though, is that Breeze (and other airlines with similar "discounts" when bought at the ticket counter) will increase the price of the flight on the days that you can actually purchase the tickets at the airport, so the actual price may not change as much. You should monitor the regular online price and then see if it's the same price on the day that you can buy at the airport; if so, it's usually a pretty significant savings.

BTW - I love Breeze Airways. They are my favorite of the "discount" airlines.

Because people probably wouldn't pay a $300 assigned seat fee? According to what @Lewisc posted, the OPTIONAL fees don't have taxes.
