OGS to MCO flights

[TheThousandthSoul]

Hello everyone!

Has anyone here ever flew from OGS to MCO with Breeze?

Thanks!

i have a feeling you're not going to get an answer about this for 2 reasons: that's not looking like a valid airport code from Canada? For me I'm not able to get past my security "site might be hacked" after googling what you might actually mean. Once i did figure it out, dang it's too far for most southern ontario people to even consider it! 4.5 hours for me and gas currently costs close to 1.80/L

2nd, uhm, have you looked at any of the online reviews for that airline? I wouldn't risk my money on them.

OGS is Ogdensburg which tout's itself as Ottawa's second airport, so very relevant to Eastern Ontario. Just over an hour outside of the Nation's Capital. I hadn't heard that service to MCO has been restored, but a different carrier now. I don't know Breeze, but it's nice to hear there is another option again.

ETA: took a look at Breeze on the net and it looks like a newer regional carrier that has been getting a few awards for service (bodes well). You will likely be on an Embraer 190 from OGS because I doubt the runway there will take their larger Airbus (could be wrong there). Last time they tried service to MCO out of OGS they actually extended the runway a bit to accommodate larger aircraft (their is a weird dogleg in the county road near the East end now) but I still don't think the runway is very long.

I remember people touting OGS as a good option for Ottawa / eastern Ontario people pre-COVID when that MCO route got established. What’s developed since then is COVID killed that Canadian business for a number of years, and Terminal C opened at MCO. Now there’s regular (daily even?) Porter flights direct from YOW to MCO that didn’t exist a few years ago.

That’s probably going to remain a more desirable option even if Breeze went all in on OGS-MCO again.
