Added Flights Provide New Nonstop Service and
New Connection Choices for Customers
JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU) today announced it is further expanding
its presence in its Boston and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood focus
cities with the addition of two new transcontinental routes.
Flights between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Salt
Lake City International Airport (SLC) will begin Thursday, May 12,
2016. Flights between Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International
Airport (FLL) and San Diego International Airport (SAN) will begin
Thursday, June 16, 2016. Both routes will operate year-round.
Seats are on sale starting today with introductory fares between
Boston and Salt Lake City starting at $47 one-way (a), a nod to
Utah’s Pioneer Day which commemorates the first Mormon pioneers who
settled in the area in 1847. Introductory fares are also available
between Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood and San Diego starting at $99
one-way (b).
“We are so pleased to continue JetBlue’s growth in our east
coast focus cities and in the western U.S. with these two new
nonstop routes,” said Dave Clark, vice president network planning
at JetBlue. “These four destinations all feature spectacular
outdoor attractions and bustling business centers. Whether you are
going for business or leisure, it’s never been easier to travel
between these four cities and experience all they have to
offer.”
Boston becomes JetBlue’s fourth nonstop destination from Salt
Lake City and will provide new service between Utah’s capital city
and Logan International Airport where JetBlue is the top airline.
With nonstop flights to more than 60 destinations from Boston,
JetBlue is on track to operate up to 140 daily flights this summer.
Customers traveling to Boston can take advantage of new convenient
connections to additional JetBlue destinations throughout the U.S.,
Caribbean and Latin America such as Washington (DCA), Pittsburgh
(PIT), Richmond, Va. (RIC) and St. Thomas, Virgin Islands (STT).
The route will also create a nonstop link between JetBlue’s Salt
Lake City Customer Support Center and the airline’s second-largest
focus city.
In San Diego, JetBlue will now offer nonstop service to three
destinations and the airline will operate the only nonstop to Fort
Lauderdale-Hollywood. JetBlue’s South Florida focus city will soon
offer more than 100 daily flights to destinations across the
JetBlue network, including top destinations in the Caribbean and
Latin America like San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU); Quito, Ecuador
(UIO); and Lima, Peru (LIM). JetBlue’s is also enhancing the
customer experience in Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood with a series of
improvements to its terminal including a recently completed
interactive lobby experience.
