JetBlue is ramping service back up with 30 new domestic flight routes to markets where leisure travel is showing signs of strength.
Between July and October, the carrier said it plans to operate more than half of its typical capacity this summer “to better match demand trends.”
Some of the new flights include premium-service Mint flights, between Newark, New Jersey and Los Angeles and San Francisco, featuring lie-flat seats, free entertainment, special meals and pre-takeoff cocktails.
JetBlue is also restoring nine routes that were temporarily suspended during the height of the pandemic as well as service to several popular summer destinations such as Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, Massachusetts; Providence, Rhode Island; and the Puerto Rican cities of Aguadilla and Ponce.
