JetBlue is adding a mix of year-round and seasonal routes ahead of the winter vacation season.
The low-cost carrier announced it will serve Vero Beach, Florida, for the first time and restart flights to and from Daytona Beach, Florida. The airline is also launching routes connecting Florida with New York, the Caribbean, and Latin America and strengthening existing service between Boston and warm weather destinations.
JetBlue officials said the expansion is part of an effort to grow markets in the Northeast and Florida, where the airline’s “unique combination of low fares and great service resonate.”
Year-round daily flights connecting New York-JFK and Boston with Daytona Beach will start Dec. 4. Service from those same airports, Boston and New York-JFK, to Vero Beach will launch one week later, on Dec. 11, also operating daily.
Caribbean Expansion
On Dec. 13, seasonal service will start between Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, running once daily until Jan. 19, 2026.
Later in the month, JetBlue will start flights from Tampa, Florida, to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, and Islip, New York. The Tampa-Punta Cana route will begin Dec. 18 and operate once daily year-round, while the Tampa-Islip service will start Dec. 19 and run four times weekly until April 29, 2026.
Also on Dec. 18, three-times weekly flights between Fort Myers, Florida, and Islip will begin. This service is seasonal and ends on April 28, 2026.
At Boston, JetBlue is dialing up the frequency of existing flights to destinations in the Caribbean and Central America.
Starting Dec. 18, service from Boston to St. Thomas, St. Maarten, Nassau, Bahamas, and Liberia, Costa Rica, will operate daily. Two days later, on Dec. 20, JetBlue will add a second Saturday flight between Boston and Grand Cayman, and in the new year, on Jan. 10, 2026, a second Saturday flight between Boston and Bridgetown, Barbados, is set to launch.
JetBlue has both added and axed routes this year while zeroing in on markets with strong demand, especially Florida. Last month, the carrier announced plans to connect Fort Lauderdale with Atlanta, Austin, Tampa, and Norfolk, Virginia, and increase flights on existing routes between Fort Lauderdale and Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, and Richmond, Virginia.
