Introductory fares available from $69 one-way as airline strengthens Northeast–Florida connections

JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU) today celebrated inaugural service to Destin–Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS) with its first flight from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), marking a major milestone for the Emerald Coast and expanding the airline’s growing Florida network. The airline also will launch new nonstop service between VPS and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) today, further connecting the Florida panhandle with the Northeast. To celebrate the launch, JetBlue is offering limited-time introductory fares starting at $69 one-way, available now on jetblue.com.¹

“Today’s first flight from New York marks an exciting new chapter for the Emerald Coast,” said Dave Jehn, JetBlue’s vice president, network planning and airline partnerships. “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.”

“This is an incredible addition to our passenger service at Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport,” said Okaloosa County Board Chairman Trey Goodwin. “The success of our airport relies on the success of our partners and we are excited to welcome JetBlue to the VPS family.”

Located along Florida’s Panhandle, Destin–Fort Walton Beach is known for its white sand and emerald-colored water. With world-class fishing and a relaxed coastal charm, the region appeals to many leisure travelers, including Spring Break vacationers. From April 17 to April 26 this year, JetBlue will operate two daily nonstop flights between Boston and Destin-Fort Walton Beach on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays to bring even more Spring Break travelers to the area.

The new flights not only provide direct access for customers in the Northeast seeking a warm-weather escape, but also open new opportunities for Emerald Coast residents traveling to New York, Boston or beyond with connections possible from JetBlue’s focus cities to destinations across the United States, Canada, Latin American, the Caribbean and Europe.

These new routes build on JetBlue’s continued growth across Florida, where the airline now serves 11 destinations and is a leading carrier between the Northeast and the Sunshine State. Customers traveling on the new routes will enjoy JetBlue’s award-winning service, including fast, free and unlimited Fly-Fi®, seatback entertainment at every seat, and complimentary name-brand snacks and drinks.²
