Here's what's happening: Breeze Airways operated the first scheduled international flight from T.F. Green on February 14, 2026, marking a major milestone for New England travelers. Breeze is launching flights to Cancun from multiple midsize US airports, including Norfolk, Charleston, New Orleans and Providence—and Rhode Island just became part of this sun-seeking network.
Travelers can now book seasonal, nonstop, international flights from Providence to Cancun on Saturdays from $159 one way. No more driving to Boston or New York. No more layovers. The non-stop flight will allow travelers to reach the popular city without the hassle of connecting flights or long layovers. The inaugural season runs from February 14 through mid-April 2026, capturing school vacation periods. The inaugural flight departs Rhode Island T.F. Green at 1:35 p.m., giving travelers a relaxed start to their vacation day. Return flights from Cancun to Providence follow a similar weekend-friendly pattern, and the cadence is intentionally simple: depart one Saturday, return the next.
Breeze Airways is launching Charleston-Cancun and Norfolk-Cancun in January, then New Orleans-Cancun and Providence-Cancun in February. Meanwhile, Cancun means 17 new flights for 2026, connecting Mexico's Caribbean coast to cities in the United States, Canada and even Ireland. The additions include eleven US connections, five Canadian routes, and the first-ever nonstop from Dublin, Ireland.
With a focus on leisure travel, Breeze Airways is introducing international routes from several U.S. cities, starting with Cancun as its first overseas destination. The airline's A220-300 aircraft, equipped with modern amenities and optimized for longer-range flights, will service the route weekly on Saturdays. The best part? Introductory pricing has been aggressive, with one-way fares from Providence to Cancun advertised from the mid-100 dollar range. For New Englanders tired of winter, this is a game-changer.
