JetBlue is continuing its expansion in Florida with two new year-round nonstop routes from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) to Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).
The New York-based low-cost airline will also add two more daily flights on its existing Fort Lauderdale to LaGuardia Airport (LGA) route in New York. While JetBlue confirmed the change in its Jan. 5 announcement, it did not share specific start dates.
Flights from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando will begin twice daily, with morning and evening options, starting May 21. Introductory one-way fares start at $49 if booked by Jan. 9 for travel between May 26 and June 30. Some restrictions apply.
Daily service from Fort Lauderdale to Dallas, previously announced as a seasonal route, will launch as a year-round option on March 12.
“These additions reflect the momentum we’ve built in Florida and our continued investment in Fort Lauderdale as a key gateway in our network,” said Dave Jehn, JetBlue Vice President of Network Planning and Airline Partnerships. “By connecting our focus cities and expanding successful routes, we’re giving customers more reasons to choose JetBlue for travel within Florida and beyond.”
These routes add to new Spring Break flights announced last month, starting in March, between Fort Lauderdale and five destinations JetBlue does not typically serve from that airport: Bozeman, Montana; Denver; Reno–Tahoe, Nevada; Salt Lake City; and Jacksonville, Florida.
JetBlue will also operate a special flight connecting Portland, Maine, and Fort Lauderdale five times a week from April 16 to April 27, 2026, for Patriots’ Day.
