JetBlue New Caribbean Flights & Fare Sale

JetBlue is expanding flights across the U.S. and the Caribbean, including two new destinations serving the airline’s major hubs, New York, Boston, Orlando and Los Angeles, and launching the new routes with a fare sale.

Some flights begin immediately, but even the routes launching in Fall 2023 are available for booking now – and all are on sale for a limited time.

To celebrate the launch, and for a limited time, there are special $59, $149, $159 and $179 one-way fares for flights on these new routes, available online only on the airline’s website.

So get your beach sandals and eco-friendly sunscreen ready to fly south.

Belize and St. Kitts/Nevis

Launching later this year, JetBlue will offer nonstop flights to two new destinations between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Robert Llewellyn Bradshaw International Airport (SKB) in St. Kitts and Nevis and Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE) in Belize City, Belize.

Belize is one of Central America’s most biodiverse countries, touting tropical jungles, wildlife reserves, and cascading flora and fauna. And PADI-certified divers like me know it is one of the best scuba diving destinations on the planet.

Service from JFK to Belize City is set to launch on Dec. 6. JetBlue will be the only airline to offer service from New York-JFK to Belize.

Service from New York (JFK) to St. Kitts begins Nov. 2 bringing a new choice to a route with limited competition today.

St. Kitts is the larger of two islands that make up the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis. St. Kitts boasts a wealth of cultural attractions, lush greenery, pristine beaches, majestic volcanic peaks, and vibrant festivals that showcase the island’s unique heritage and traditions.

Nassau, Bahamas –

JetBlue is also set to launch service between Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) in Nassau, Bahamas; Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND) in Grenada; and Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) in North Carolina.

JetBlue will become the first airline to serve Nassau with nonstop service from Los Angeles, pioneering this unique service for an unserved market. The flight time between Los Angeles and Nassau is approximately the same as between Los Angeles and Hawaii, giving Southern California residents a new escape route. The new route will offer customers JetBlue’s award-winning Mint premium experience.

Following the launch of Nassau, JetBlue will operate service between Los Angeles and 20 nonstop destinations and offer more than 40 peak daily departures.

Grenada

Launching November 4, JetBlue will now offer the only service between Boston and Grenada, featuring the airline’s premium Mint service.

Grenada is known as the Spice Island, with a wealth of culinary and cultural adventures, rum distilleries and more.

With JetBlue’s introduction into Grenada, the airline will be flying an average of 137 daily departures from its Boston hub in November.

Additional Connections from Orlando

JetBlue’s new flight connecting Orlando to Raleigh, North Carolina will offer customers in Central Florida more choices for travel.

By the end of 2023, the airline will be serving 26 nonstop destinations and will offer an average of 57 departures per day from Orlando.

Fare Sale

To celebrate the launch, and for a limited time, travelers can take advantage of special $59, $149, $159, and $179 one-way fares for flights on these new routes, available online only on www.jetblue.com.

JetBlue’s growth in the Caribbean is part of a broader reach into international markets. In recent years, the airline has built a robust network throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

With JetBlue’s entry into St. Kitts and Nevis and Belize, the airline will now operate in 27 countries within the region and introduce a new era of customer-focused, low-fare travel for leisure and visiting family and friends travelers.

JetBlue will now serve 29 countries from JFK and will offer an average of up to 192 departures per day during peak periods.

Official Statements

“We are proud to continue diversifying our network and to introduce even more options to connect our customers in our focus cities of New York, Boston, Orlando, and Los Angeles to the places they want to fly, bringing more great service and everyday low fares to more customers,” said David Jehn, vice president of network planning and partnerships for JetBlue. “These new routes will position JetBlue to deliver even more growth and connectivity to popular destinations, while also furthering the airline’s significant presence across Latin America and the Caribbean.”

“We welcome JetBlue’s announcement of nonstop, three times weekly service from New York to St. Kitts as a testament to the growing interest in our beautiful island,” said Dr. Terrance Drew, Prime Minister of St. Kitts & Nevis. “This addition not only adds year-round airlift capacity for the growing travel demand but also enhances the tourism industry, thus generating economic activity for our nationals and residents. I look forward to a positive and mutually beneficial fruitful partnership with JetBlue as we work to create a self-sustaining nation and premier tourism destination.”

“We are thrilled to welcome JetBlue’s first-ever flight to Belize in December. The service comes at a perfect time as New Yorkers seek warm-weather holiday options” said Anthony Mahler, Belize’s Minister of Tourism and Diaspora Relations. “This nonstop flight from JFK, which serves more than 61 million travelers annually, is a huge win for our ongoing efforts to make Belize accessible to more U.S. visitors. We can’t wait for passengers to disembark and explore the beauty of our country, the richness of our cultures, and the warmth of our people. Additionally, we’re so happy for our fellow Belizeans, now living in New York, as this new non-stop service makes it convenient for them to visit home and their loved ones.”

Special $59, $149, $159, and $179 one-way fares for flights on these new routes are available online only on www.jetblue.com.
