Changes are in the air at JetBlue Airways. In addition to recently sharing plans for new domestic first-class seats, it’s first-ever airport lounges, and revealing that it would become the first carrier to accept Venmo as a payment option for flight bookings, the airline last week announced that it plans to aggressively build out its East Coast network for spring and summer.
In the coming months, the New York City-based airline will add 16 routes and five all-new destinations. The new destinations are: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada; Traverse City, Michigan; Norfolk, Virginia; Wilmington, North Carolina; and San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
And while some of the routes will be seasonal, a good percentage of the new flights will be operated year-round after they launch.

Though JetBlue’s main base is John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), it is just one of four New York City area airports that will be getting new routes this summer. Here’s the full list:
The Honduras route will mark the first time the carrier will connect to the Central American country. Afar recently highlighted the island of Cayos Cochinos in Honduras in our feature on the world’s most beautiful islands for an off-grid escape. Additionally, the 119-room Kimpton Grand Roatán Resort & Spa opened in 2023 on Roatán Island in Honduras, an idyllic tropical retreat situated along one of the world’s largest barrier reefs.

JetBlue is doubling-down on its commitment to the City of Brotherly Love with four new seasonal routes, all of which are completely new to JetBlue.
The routes include:
JetBlue previously announced it would be rolling out daily seasonal flights from Boston to Madrid and Edinburgh this year as well (both launching on May 22). With the addition of these routes, JetBlue will fly nonstop from Boston to 77 destinations worldwide—more than any other carrier in the market.
In addition to the new Boston and New York area routes, JetBlue will add new daily service from Fort Lauderdale to Guatemala City, Guatemala, on April 30. The airline reported that it will also convert its seasonal winter service from Providence to Tampa and from Hartford to Fort Myers, Florida, into year-round itineraries.
