JetBlue is on the move with new flight routes, while saying goodbye to others. Ahead of the winter travel season, the airline will add a variety of new routes to popular destinations such as Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, and Phoenix. “These moves underscore JetBlue's commitment to refining its network while leveraging its award-winning experience,” the airline shared in a release announcing the news. In the New York area, the airline will begin new service from Long Island’s MacArthur Airport (ISP), with a new daily flight to Orlando, and also service to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and West Palm Beach (VPS) four times a week.
Allegiant unveils 8 new routes across 13 cities; intro fares from $39 one way
16.07.2024 - 05:59 / thepointsguy.com / Drew Wells
Allegiant will add eight new nonstop routes across 13 different airports, the company announced early Tuesday. Introductory fares on the new routes start at $39 one way.
The new flights begin in November, all to warm-weather destinations in Florida. No new cities were included in the update, with Allegiant instead adding more flights between cities it already serves.
"The addition of new routes is a testament to the success of our existing service in these communities," Drew Wells, Allegiant's chief revenue officer, said in a statement. "The new service kicks off just in time to plan warm winter getaways to sought-after coastal destinations."
Value check: Are airline credit cards worth it anymore?
The big winner in Allegiant's latest route announcement is the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) in Georgia, which landed three new nonstop routes to Florida. Flights to Punta Gorda begin Nov. 14 while service to Fort Lauderdale and St. Petersburg begin a day later.
Two other Florida airports landed multiple new routes, including Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) in South Florida and Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS) along the Florida panhandle.
Allegiant's expansion also included a boost for two small Northeast airports that have limited service on major airlines.
New York Stewart International Airport (SWF) near Newburgh, New York, landed new service to Fort Lauderdale. This new route will give Allegiant five destinations from SWF. The airport, which sits about 70 miles north of Midtown Manhattan, has long been targeted as a "reliever" airport for the greater New York City area.

However, the airport has struggled to hold on to service from major carriers. SWF is currently served by just two airlines offering domestic service – Allegiant and Breeze – as well as two other small international carriers (Icelandic discounter Play and Atlantic Airways, which offers seasonal service to the remote Faroe Islands in Europe's North Atlantic).
While Allegiant's new Fort Lauderdale flights won't dramatically alter SWF's route map, the addition will surely be welcomed by airport officials there.
In New Hampshire, Allegiant's new service to Sarasota will be its fourth from Portsmouth International Airport at Pease (PSM). Though Allegiant is currently the only carrier, it will soon get company from Breeze Airways, which just announced new Portsmouth service last week.
A full list of Allegiant's eight new routes is below. All are intended to be seasonal, with Allegiant typically starting with a schedule of two flights a week on most of its new routes.
