Along with the added destinations, the airline is putting an additional daily flight on existing routes from Fort Lauderdale to Las Vegas (LAS), Los Angeles (LAX), Phoenix (PHX), Raleigh-Durham (RDU) and Richmond (RIC), to meet growing demand.
“Fort Lauderdale has long been a key market for JetBlue, and we’re excited to keep growing with the region,” said Dave Jehn, JetBlue’s vice president, network planning and airline partnerships. “With new routes, more flights and the expansion of our award-winning Mint experience on more trips, and the best crew members in the business, we’re continuing to offer more reasons for South Florida travelers to choose JetBlue.”
These additions follow the return of two routes from Fort Lauderdale that began earlier in July: twice-daily service to Philadelphia and once-daily service to Guayaquil, Ecuador.
With the addition of another daily flight from Fort Lauderdale to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Phoenix, JetBlue is also expanding access to its premium Mint experience, which is provided on these routes. Mint is JetBlue’s unique take on business class, offering a fresh, customer-first approach to premium travel.
In winter 2025-2026, every JetBlue flight between Fort Lauderdale and Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and San Francisco will offer Mint, complete with lie-flat seating, elevated dining, and personalized service. With 13 daily Mint flights available from Fort Lauderdale this winter, JetBlue’s premium, lie-flat service to the West Coast is unmatched across South Florida and stands as the only domestic lie-flat offering from Fort Lauderdale for the season.
This summer, JetBlue operates an average of 72 daily departures to 31 non-stop destinations from Fort Lauderdale, with those numbers growing to 95 daily departures to 37 cities in December of this year. The airline will also continue to offer more transcontinental lie-flat seats from South Florida than any other carrier. With strong customer demand and these continued investments, which build upon a previously announced 6% year-over-year growth in departures, JetBlue remains a leading choice for South Florida travelers seeking award-winning service and premium experiences like Mint.
