JetBlue will operate its Guadeloupe service using Airbus A320 aircraft offering the airline’s award-winning service featuring the most legroom in coach; free Fly-Fi, the fastest broadband internet in the sky; complimentary and unlimited name-brand snacks and soft drinks; free, live DIRECTV® programming and 100-plus channels of SiriusXM® radio at every seat.
“As the only airline to serve Guadeloupe from the Northeast, JetBlue adds yet another unique destination to our growing route map,” said Lusso.
