The airline will also add two additional daily flights on its popular route between Fort Lauderdale and New York’s LaGuardia Airport. The twice-daily flights to Orlando will begin on May 21, while daily service to Dallas will launch on March 12 and continue year-round, following its initial announcement as a spring break-only service.
This announcement builds on JetBlue’s significant growth in Florida, with Fort Lauderdale at the center of that expansion. In 2025, JetBlue expanded its operation to include 10 Florida destinations, with an 11th, Destin/Fort Walton Beach, launching in March. The airline also announced its largest-ever schedule in Fort Lauderdale, reaching 113 daily departures and serving 46 non-stop destinations in December, including new service across Latin America, the Caribbean, and key U.S. cities.
Additionally, JetBlue expanded offerings of its premium Mint experience in both Fort Lauderdale and Orlando and announced plans to open a dedicated Mint inflight crewmember base in Fort Lauderdale this year, reinforcing the airline’s investment in the region.
