JetBlue is gearing up for a busy summer with the introduction of several new routes that will take travelers to some often-overlooked but equally charming destinations. The airline’s latest expansion is part of its ongoing effort to enhance its leisure network, particularly from its key Northeast hubs in Boston and New York. With a variety of seasonal and year-round routes, JetBlue is promising an easy and affordable way to explore some of the most underrated cities in the U.S. and beyond.
Starting April 30, 2025, JetBlue will launch new once-daily flights from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to Wilmington, North Carolina (ILM), and Norfolk, Virginia (ORF). These coastal destinations offer travelers a mix of laid-back beach vibes and rich historical attractions, making them ideal for a relaxing getaway. Wilmington, known for its charming historic district and beautiful riverfront, and Norfolk, with its vibrant arts scene and naval heritage, both promise travelers a chance to experience unique Southern hospitality and coastal charm.
According to Daniel Shurz, JetBlue’s head of revenue, network, and enterprise planning, these new routes are tailored for New England vacationers who are seeking new and exciting destinations to explore. The airline is confident that these destinations will quickly become favorites for loyal customers.
In June, JetBlue will expand further with new seasonal routes to Traverse City, Michigan (TVC), and Halifax, Canada (YHZ), with three weekly flights to both destinations. Traverse City is known for its picturesque vineyards, outdoor activities, and proximity to Lake Michigan’s scenic beauty. It’s a top pick for nature lovers and wine enthusiasts alike. Meanwhile, Halifax, the maritime capital of Canada, offers a mix of cultural experiences, historic sites, and stunning coastal landscapes. With easy access to these hidden gems, travelers are sure to find something unique and memorable during their trip.
JetBlue is also broadening its international reach, adding a new year-round route to San Pedro Sula, Honduras (SAP). Beginning June 12, 2025, the airline will offer daily service from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to this vibrant city. San Pedro Sula, often considered the industrial heart of Honduras, is a gateway to the country’s stunning natural beauty, including the Copán Mayan ruins and the tropical beaches along the Caribbean coast. The new route gives both leisure travelers and those with business connections in the region a convenient way to explore the wonders of Honduras.
In addition to its new destinations, JetBlue is also increasing service to several popular cities within the U.S. from its Northeast hubs. From LaGuardia Airport (LGA), the airline will offer twice-daily, year-round service to Tampa, Florida (TPA). New York (JFK) will see expanded service to Washington, D.C. (DCA), Hartford (BDL), Detroit (DTW), Pittsburgh (PIT), and Providence (PVD), with once-daily flights to each destination. For travelers heading to California or the Caribbean, JetBlue will also ramp up seasonal service from Newark (EWR) to Los Angeles (LAX) and Santo Domingo (SDQ) in the summer.
Over the past year, JetBlue has shifted its strategy to focus more on leisure travel, especially from its Northeast hubs. With this new route expansion, the airline is making it clear that it understands the growing demand for vacation destinations and is committed to providing customers with more options for their summer trips. Whether it’s a coastal retreat, a cultural exploration, or a city escape, JetBlue’s new destinations are sure to inspire travelers looking to make the most of their time off.
As part of its seasonal offerings, JetBlue will also continue to operate popular routes to European destinations like Madrid and Edinburgh, further enhancing its appeal to vacation travelers.
With these exciting new routes, JetBlue is making it easier than ever to explore new destinations, all while keeping its hallmark of affordable pricing and exceptional service. Whether you’re heading to a beach town, a vibrant city, or a charming cultural hub, JetBlue’s expanding network is sure to offer something for every type of traveler.
