JetBlue is adding temporary routes to and from its hub in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to accommodate spring break travelers.
The airline said it will offer flights to six destinations it does not ordinarily serve from Fort Lauderdale: Denver; Dallas/Fort Worth; Bozeman, Montana; Reno, Nevada; Salt Lake City; and Jacksonville, Florida. JetBlue will also connect Fort Lauderdale with Portland, Maine, during the week of Patriots’ Day, which is observed in eight U.S. states, most notably in Maine and Massachusetts.
“As we continue to grow our position as the leading carrier in Fort Lauderdale, we’re excited to bring even more destinations and flexibility to our customers during one of the busiest travel periods of the year,” Dave Jehn, JetBlue’s vice president of network planning and airline partnerships, said in a news release. “From spring break favorites to special Patriots’ Day flying, these routes are another example of how we’re responding to demand and creating more opportunities for travelers to enjoy the experience that sets JetBlue apart.”
The start and end dates and frequencies of the upcoming flights are:
Bozeman to Fort Lauderdale: March 14-28, on Saturdays
Denver to Fort Lauderdale: March 12-23, daily to twice daily
Dallas/Fort Worth to Fort Lauderdale: March 12-23, daily to twice daily
Reno to Fort Lauderdale: March 14-28, on Saturdays
Salt Lake City to Fort Lauderdale: March 12-23, on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays
