JetBlue Announces Fifth Dominican Destination
New York's hometown airline, JetBlue Airways, announced plans to expand its award-winning service and in-flight experience to its fifth destination in the Dominican Republic and its 67th BlueCity with the addition of La Romana, subject to receipt of government approval.
Effective November 16, 2011, the value carrier will launch between New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to La Romana International Airport (LRM), twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Flights are on sale now for as low as $99 (a) each way today through Wednesday, June 1 at www.jetblue.com/new for travel between November 16 and December 14, 2011.
“The Dominican community has embraced JetBlue's value proposition, and thanks to their tremendous support we're pleased to offer the island's only nonstop service between New York and La Romana,” said Scott Laurence, vice president of network planning for JetBlue. “We are the country's largest carrier, and we will continue to grow by adding more options and more destinations for visitors and residents of the Dominican Republic alike.”
In the Dominican Republic, JetBlue also serves Puerto Plata, Punta Cana, Santiago and Santo Domingo with service to New York, Boston, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando and San Juan. JetBlue's service to La Romana will be operated with the airline's fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft, featuring convenient, assigned seating; a first-checked bag free (b); complimentary and unlimited name brand snacks and drinks; comfy leather seats; more legroom than any other carrier in coach (c); and its award-winning customer service.
