JetBlue Airways announced today a second daily nonstop flight to Kingston, Jamaica from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). The airline, which has been steadily expanding in Jamaica throughout the past year, will now offer travelers up to six departures a day from the United States to Jamaica including: two nonstops from JFK to Kingston(a); two nonstops from JFK to Montego Bay(a); one daily nonstop from Orlando to Montego Bay; and bi-weekly nonstop service from Boston to Montego Bay.
“Based on the tremendous support we’ve received from Jamaican travelers, who continue to ask for more flights and more options from JetBlue after just eight months of service, we are pleased to offer this increase in service to New York,” said Scott Laurence, vice president of network planning for JetBlue Airways. “We’re excited to expand on that success by adding even more service this summer – service that offers more choices to travelers than ‘the other guys,’ including a first checked bag free, all-leather seats, spacious legroom, free movies at every seatback, unlimited free snacks and most importantly, genuine, friendly service.”
