JETBLUE is slashing fares to as low as $113 or less as it rolls out nine fresh nonstop routes from one of America’s busiest airports.
The low-cost giant confirmed the expansion on Monday, unveiling new international and domestic flights timed for the busy winter travel season.

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport will see the biggest boost, with the airline projecting a record 113 daily departures from the hub later this year.
The move cements JetBlue as the number one carrier at the South Florida airport, where it already operates more flights than any rival.
Starting in November, travelers can expect new connections to hot spots across the US, Latin America and the Caribbean.
Among the additions is Cali, Colombia, a first-ever destination for JetBlue.
Other routes include Aruba, Cartagena, Grand Cayman, Liberia, San Pedro Sula and St. Maarten.
Domestic travelers aren’t left out either, with new flights to Pittsburgh and New Orleans also launching.
Tickets for nearly all of the new destinations are already on sale through JetBlue’s website and mobile app.
The airline is also ramping up frequencies on nine popular existing routes from Fort Lauderdale.
The list features Atlanta, Boston, Hartford, Cancun, Kingston, Punta Cana, San Juan, San Jose and Santiago.
With the added service, JetBlue will offer more nonstop choices than ever for South Florida fliers.
“To celebrate the 113 daily flights, we’re dropping fares from Fort Lauderdale to $113 or less,” the airline said in a statement.
The budget-friendly promotion applies across its 46 nonstop destinations served from the airport this fall.
Executives say the expansion gives customers more value while still offering perks like free Wi-Fi, seatback entertainment and snacks.
“As the top airline in Fort Lauderdale, with more departures than any other carrier on peak travel days, JetBlue is proud to keep raising the bar,” said Dave Jehn, JetBlue’s vice president of network planning.
New Nonstop Routes from Fort Lauderdale
Starting in November and December, JetBlue will launch nonstop flights from Fort Lauderdale to:
- Cali, Colombia (CLO)
- Aruba (AUA)
- Cartagena, Colombia (CTG)
- Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (GCM)
- Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR)
- New Orleans, Louisiana (MSY)
- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (PIT)
- San Pedro Sula, Honduras (SAP)
- St. Maarten (SXM)
Most routes will commence on December 4, 2025, except for New Orleans and Pittsburgh, which begin on November 1, 2025. The launch date for the Cali route is pending government approval.
Airport officials called it a major win for travelers.
“With the addition of seven international and two domestic routes from FLL, this gives South Floridians more convenient and cost-effective ways to visit and enjoy these cities,” said Mark E. Gale, CEO of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International.
The expansion is also being seen as a power play as rival Spirit Airlines cuts back flights.
Industry observers say JetBlue is seizing the chance to fill gaps and lure passengers with its mix of low fares and amenities.
Since January, the carrier has added 17 new routes from the airport.
By December, JetBlue says it will reach its largest schedule yet at Fort Lauderdale.
However, Cali, Colombia, has yet to receive a confirmed start date.
