JetBlue is phasing out more than a dozen routes across its network, significantly decreasing connectivity in the northeast.
As confirmed by aviation data company, Cirium to Travel + Leisure on Tuesday, the route cuts are planned through March and mostly impact its New York hub — where the airline first launched service at the turn of the millennium.
Out of JFK, JetBlue will end its 3 times daily route to Washington, D.C. in January. The route was “highly requested” by its customers, according to the airline's announcement, and was just inaugurated less than a month ago in mid-September.
Also in January, JetBlue will stop operating out of Burlington, Vermont, where it has operated twice daily flights to JFK since 2000. This route “accounts for 10 percent of all passengers flying into Burlington on a monthly basis” The Vermont Congressional Delegation wrote in a letter expressing their disappointment to the airline's CEO Robin Hayes.
From LaGuardia, the carrier will no longer fly to Bermuda, Cape Cod, Charleston, Denver, Jacksonville, Nashville, Portland, ME, and Sarasota. JetBlue will also cut routes from Newark to Boston and Miami, as well as from Boston to Rochester.
«The writing was on the wall when the DOJ won its case against the Northeast Alliance with American Airlines,” said Mike Arnot, an air analyst with Cirium, an aviation data company. “This will be felt across the Northeast, notably Burlington, Vermont, which now leaves the city with Delta and United to New York City area airports, but with the loss of the lower-cost service JetBlue provided. Losing service anywhere in the Northeast reduces capacity — supply of seats — and will result in higher fares across this intricate network.»
These route adjustments came just before JetBlue’s earnings call, where the airline reported a $153 million net loss for Q3, attributed to weather challenges and rising fuel prices.
As the airline looks toward 2024, JetBlue continues to pursue its expansion into Europe, announcing seasonal service to Dublin and Edinburgh just last week.
A representative from JetBlue did not immediately respond to T+L's request for comment.

When I first moved to New York City from the Midwest as a freshman in college, I quickly learned to stop myself from talking to strangers.
Tigre It’s unusual to hear a rum based cocktail described as “joyful pain” but that happens at Tigre, the intimate, retro chic bar that opened this week on New York’s Lower East Side. The reason for this description is the rum, or rather rums, in the recommended cocktail Airmail composed of champagne and three symbiotic rums from Martinique, Venezuela and Haiti, countries in a region in which slavery played a part in their production. The social history detailed by the maître d’ is, obviously, painful but the cocktail itself is delicious, a choice on the “then” section reinventing classics of the six part menu. (Their screwdriver also has eight types of citrus including three types of orange.) Creative concoctions such as Mister Softee with Singani, sage and pina appear in the “Now” section and martini fans can dictate exact specifications with a ratio of 4:1 to 16:1 among other options.
A cargo jet headed to Belgium from New York had to turn around mid-flight after a horse escaped in the hold, according to air traffic control audio.

New York is the place to be for the holidays—storied in movies and books.
In March, I decided to leave the familiar hustle and bustle of Brooklyn and hit the road in search of my new home. My drive across the country landed me in Denver, where I fell in love with the sun setting over the mountains and the wide-open streets free of mysterious smells and rat corpses.
In 2019, the Vessel became the centerpiece of New York City's Hudson Yards neighborhood. Standing at 150 feet tall, with a honeycomb-looking facade, the Vessel cost an estimated $200 million to create, as Insider previously reported.
No city anywhere fuels grand imagination, inspiration, inventiveness and inexhaustible chutzpah quite like the Big Apple, heralds New York Chic, a sumptuous book recently released by luxury publisher Assouline. Its writer Armand Limnander—who was born and raised in Colombia, spent summers avec family in France and has been a devoted New Yorker for more than two decades—dives into the bountiful fascinations of this inimitable mega-metropolis: “Paris is the capital of France. London the capital of England. Tokyo is the capital of Japan, and Beijing the capital of China. New York, on the other hand, is not the capital of the United States—but it is, unquestionably, the capital of the world. No other city can even come close to claiming that title.”

New York is 400 years old, yet constantly evolving. Its distinct neighborhoods have become world-famous, and even to New Yorkers, these neighborhoods often seem to be from another time, another place, although just a few subway stops away.
