JetBlue last week brought a new destination into its route network.
The carrier on Thursday started service to Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport near Valparaiso, Florida, from New York-JFK and Boston. The flight from JFK was the first to land at Destin-Fort Walton Beach on Thursday, officials said.
Each route will operate five times weekly.
“With nonstop access to both JFK and Boston, we’re making it easier than ever for customers to travel between the Northeast and one of Florida’s most sought-after beach destinations, while also giving local residents convenient connections to JetBlue’s broader network,” Dave Jehn, JetBlue’s vice president of network planning and airline partnerships, said in a news release.
The airline plans to temporarily increase the frequency of flights between Boston and Destin-Fort Walton Beach to two per day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays between April 17 and 26 to accommodate spring break travel.
JetBlue now serves 11 destinations in Florida, including Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa, and West Palm Beach.
