Right now, the airline is up to 125 daily departures to over 55 destinations. The long-term goal for JetBlue is to get that number up to approximately 150 daily flights by this winter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part of that growth strategy includes a major push for its premium Mint service out of South Florida. Starting November 19, JetBlue will introduce the only lie-flat seat product between Fort Lauderdale and San Diego, giving transcon travelers a high-end option on that route. The airline also plans to roll out additional Mint-equipped flights to Los Angeles and San Francisco this winter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the announcement, JetBlue CEO Joanna Geraghty called Fort Lauderdale \u201ca cornerstone of our network.\u201d The airline is headquartered in Long Island City, New York.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; Photo: Ryken Papy \/ Shutterstock.com &#13; JetBlue is not slowing down its plans to grow, and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":336126,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[249,251,250],"class_list":["post-336125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","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\/336125","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=336125"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/336125\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/336126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=336125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=336125"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=336125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
