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.
