Now that the route cuts seem to be in the rear-view mirror, JetBlue Airways is rebuilding its network in a big way.
The New York-based carrier announced on Wednesday a major network expansion for the upcoming season. JetBlue will add a whopping 16 routes, including five all-new pins to its route map, as part of the expansion.
You'll catch all of the details below, and all of the new flights are already available for booking.

Highlighting the expansion is the addition of 11 routes from the New York area.
The airline's main New York City base at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) will see seven new routes to places as close as Hartford and Washington, D.C., and cities as far away as San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
The new Honduras route marks the airline's first-ever foray into the country, and San Pedro Sula will become a new pin for the leisure carrier.
Interestingly, flights from JFK to Burbank, Hartford and Providence won't see any direct nonstop competition. All of the other routes are already flown by other airlines, so JetBlue will need to convince flyers to choose it over the competition.
Furthermore, at just 106 miles, the new route from JFK to Hartford will become the airport's shortest. (The second-shortest is JFK to Worcester, Massachusetts, at 150 miles.)

In addition to the new JFK routes, JetBlue will relaunch two routes from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). These include service to Los Angeles and Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. The former will be operated by Mint-equipped Airbus A321 aircraft, offering lie-flat business-class pods for those in the pointy end of the plane.
Interestingly, the resumption of Newark to L.A. flights comes shortly after the airline ended service between the airports last October. The route from the New York City area to L.A. is known as one of the most competitive in the country, especially for premium travelers, so JetBlue flyers based near Newark will likely be excited about this resumption. (Alaska, Spirit and United also offer multiple daily flights from Newark to L.A.)
Finally, JetBlue will also grow one of its newest airports in New York with one new route. That's Islip's Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP), which will soon be connected with daily summer-seasonal flights to Boston.
This new addition will be great for travelers based on Long Island looking to visit Boston or connect from Boston onward to one of JetBlue's other destinations. It'll save flyers a commute to JFK or train riders a leg to Penn Station.
