Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and Long Beach
Airport (LGB). Flights will operate daily starting May 3, 2017.

“Our Fort Lauderdale and Long Beach focus cities offer such
great travel experiences for our customers with their convenient
terminals and great flight schedules,” said Dave Clark, vice
president network planning, JetBlue. “Linking them together brings
more great fares, flights and destinations to our loyal JetBlue
customers in south Florida, southern California and beyond.”
In Long Beach, where JetBlue is the largest carrier, the airline
will offer up to 35 daily flights to 13 destinations across the
U.S. Just this year JetBlue has added nonstop service to
destinations like Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) and San
Jose International Airport (SJC). In Fort Lauderdale, where JetBlue
is also the largest carrier, Long Beach becomes the 56th nonstop
destination as the airline plans to grow to 140 daily flights in
the coming years.
The route not only offers a new nonstop choice between the east
and west coasts, but also links the airline’s focus cities in
southern California and south Florida, resulting in increased
convenient connections across the JetBlue network. With the new
flight, over a dozen destinations such as Colombia, Puerto Rico,
The Bahamas, Jamaica, and JetBlue’s new service to multiple cities
in Cuba will be an easy connection away for southern California
flyers. Other east coast JetBlue cities like Washington-National
and Jacksonville, Fla. are also just a quick stop away.
“The new JetBlue flight service to Fort Lauderdale is great news
for travelers and great news for Long Beach,” said Long Beach Mayor
Robert Garcia. “The Long Beach Airport is already one of the best
in the country, and getting better every day.”
"This new transcon flight to JetBlue's south Florida focus city
is terrific news for users of Long Beach Airport," said Jess Romo,
A.A.E., Director, Long Beach Airport. "With this new way to get to
Florida, customers will also get quick connections to exciting
destinations in the southeast and Caribbean, including Cuba."
