PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Budget airline Breeze Airways is adding nonstop service from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles this fall. 

Starting Sept. 8, Breeze said it will transfer its existing Orange County service to Los Angeles on Mondays and Fridays. 

In the coming weeks, Breeze will start flying from Pittsburgh International Airport to Norfolk, Raleigh-Durham, Jacksonville, New York-Islip and Portland for the summer season.
