JetBlue Airways Announces New Flights from Chicago to Puerto Rico’s San Juan

JetBlue Airways is pleased to announce its intention to launch new daily nonstop service from Chicago's O'Hare to San Juan. JetBlue's third destination from the Windy City is scheduled to begin service on November 20, 2013.

Flights are expected to be out for sale soon. The announcement was made today, coinciding with the airline's affirmation of its commitment to growth on the Island with the recent privatization of San Juan's Airport.

"As the largest carrier in Puerto Rico, we are very pleased to connect the sizable Puerto Rican population that calls Chicago home with convenient service to visit their friends and family on the Island," said JetBlue's President and CEO, Dave Barger.

From its San Juan focus city, JetBlue currently flies to 14 nonstop destinations, ten within the continental US: Boston, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, Hartford, Jacksonville, New York (JFK), Newark, Orlando, Tampa, Washington D.C. (Reagan National) and West Palm Beach, and four within the Caribbean: Santo Domingo, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and St. Croix.

JetBlue's flights between Chicago and San Juan will be operated with its comfortable Airbus A320 fleet and award-winning service featuring convenient, assigned seating; a first-checked bag free (a); complimentary and unlimited name brand snacks and drinks; comfy leather seats; free first-run movies on seatback televisions (b); and more legroom than any other carrier in coach.
