TAMPA, FL — Tampa travelers, this one is worth getting excited about. Breeze Airways has announced two new nonstop international routes launching from Tampa International Airport this winter, and both are exactly the kind of destinations people have been asking for.
Starting December 16, 2026, Breeze will fly nonstop from Tampa directly to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands — a first in Tampa airport history. No layovers, no connections, just Tampa to paradise in one shot. Three days later, on December 19, Breeze adds a brand-new nonstop route to Cancún, Mexico, arriving just in time for the peak winter getaway season.
The Details
St. Thomas (USVI) — First-ever nonstop from Tampa. Launches December 16, 2026
Cancún (Mexico) — Brand-new direct route. Launches December 19, 2026
Both routes operate twice a week: Wednesdays and Saturdays — ideal for long weekend trips
Why It Matters
Two-hour nonstops to the Caribbean and Mexico change the math on winter travel completely. No early morning connections through Atlanta or Charlotte, no wasted half-day in an airport. For Wesley Chapel and Tampa Bay residents, this opens up genuine tropical getaways that are now as easy as booking a seat and showing up.
