JetBlue is adding more flights to the Sunshine State as well as more service to the Caribbean and Latin America. This increased focus on key leisure markets reinforces its position at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK). The latest expansion includes JetBlue’s debut at Vero Beach Regional Airport (VRB), its return to Daytona Beach International Airport (DAB), and new options to reach the Dominican Republic from Florida.

On December 11th, JetBlue will touch down at Vero Beach Regional Airport (VRB) for the first time while reinstating flights to/from Daytona Beach International Airport (DAB). Both cities will be served from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) 1x daily, year-round.

JetBlue New Livery

From Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP), JetBlue will introduce nonstop flights to Tampa International Airport (TPA) (4x weekly; runs from December 19th to April 29th) and Fort Myers Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) (3x weekly; runs from December 18th to April 28th). These new routes complement JetBlue’s existing service to/from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), Orlando International Airport (MCO), and Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), giving Long Island travelers even more Florida travel options this winter.

Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) passengers will see a significant increase in service to warm-weather international destinations this winter. JetBlue will expand flights to/from St. Thomas’ Cyril E. King Airport (STT), Liberia’s Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR), St. Maarten’s Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM), and Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS), with each destination shifting to daily service on December 18th. Seasonal boosts include a second Saturday flight to Grand Cayman’s Owen Roberts International Airport (GCM) starting on December 20th and Bridgetown’s Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI) on January 10th.

JetBlue is also growing its network between Florida and the Caribbean with new nonstop service between Tampa International Airport (TPA) to Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) (daily; starts on December 18th) and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) to Santiago de los Caballeros’ Cibao International Airport (STI) (daily; runs from December 13th to January 19th).

Dave Jehn, JetBlue’s Vice President of Network Planning and Airline Partnerships, said:

Florida continues to be a place JetBlue’s unique combination of low fares and great service resonates, and we’re proud to grow our footprint with these new destinations to meet customer demand for more of the Sunshine State. Whether it’s customers in the Northeast looking for a warm getaway or Floridians traveling north, we’re excited to bring more choices and better service to these markets.”

Anthony’s Take: It’s good to see JetBlue focus on what the airline does best. It started connecting Northeastern passengers with warm weather destinations and these additions keep that legacy alive.
