Direct flights to Florida are coming back to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International airport. Starting in January a new low-cost airline will offer flights to Orlando twice a week. Utah based Breeze Airways made the announcement on Wednesday. It's been nearly six years since direct flights to Florida were available out of Avoca.
