JetBlue Airways is expanding in South Florida, unveiling new routes in and out of Fort Lauderdale and launching a status match for former Spirit Airlines loyalty travelers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re stepping up for Fort Lauderdale to ensure the availability of air service in this market,\u201d said Marty St. George, president of JetBlue. \u201cOur focus is simple: make it easier for customers to stay connected with the people and places that matter, while delivering the service, comfort and value they expect from JetBlue.\u201d<\/p>\n

JetBlue will now offer nonstop service to\/from Fort Lauderdale to Barranquilla and Cali in Colombia, as well as Baltimore, Charlotte, Columbus and Indianapolis. <\/p>\n

The airline is also adding nonstop service to cities already in its network, such as Nashville, Detroit, Houston, Chicago, and Ponce, Puerto Rico. Travelers will also see more flights to Austin, Dallas\/Fort Worth, Raleigh-Durham, Aguadilla, Santo Domingo and Santiago de los Caballeros.<\/p>\n

For customers displaced by Spirit\u2019s exit<\/a>, JetBlue also announced it is rolling out a status match for former loyalty members.<\/p>\n

Eligible travelers who were Free Spirit Silver and Gold members can match into JetBlue’s Mosaic 1 or Mosaic 2 tiers, gaining access to perks such as priority boarding and no-fee flight changes. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe know many Spirit customers are feeling the loss of the loyalty they built over time,\u201d St. George said. \u201cOur status match is designed to recognize that commitment and give them a seamless path forward with JetBlue \u2014 particularly in Fort Lauderdale, where we\u2019re expanding service and offering more ways to travel with us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JetBlue Airways is expanding in South Florida, unveiling new routes in and out of Fort Lauderdale and launching…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":258521,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[20371,249,251,250],"class_list":["post-258520","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-airlines","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258520","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258520"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258520\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258521"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258520"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258520"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258520"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
