JetBlue has announced new nonstop service to Florida’s Emerald Coast, with flights to Destin–Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS) starting March 5, 2026. The airline will operate five weekly seasonal flights from both Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), connecting travelers to this in-demand destination on Florida’s Panhandle.
The addition of Destin–Fort Walton Beach expands JetBlue’s growing presence across the Sunshine State. The airline has already revealed plans to launch service to Vero Beach and Daytona Beach next month, and in total has announced more than 30 new Florida routes this year alone. These latest additions bring JetBlue’s service and everyday low fares to a new corner of Florida, beloved for its white-sand beaches and emerald waters.
To celebrate the launch, JetBlue is offering introductory fares starting at $49 one-way, available only on jetblue.com.
The new routes link two of JetBlue’s focus cities, Boston and New York, with one of Florida’s fastest-growing leisure destinations. The service strengthens JetBlue’s position as a leading carrier between the Northeast and Florida, offering customers more nonstop options to the state’s top beach destinations for family entertainment, year-round warmth, and spring break or summer vacations.
Travelers flying to Destin–Fort Walton Beach will for the first time enjoy JetBlue’s comfort and value, with free high-speed Wi-Fi known as Fly-Fi on every aircraft, live television seatback entertainment at every seat, complimentary snacks and drinks, and friendly service that makes JetBlue a preferred airline for Northeast leisure travelers.
Florida has long been a cornerstone of JetBlue’s network, from its first destination in Fort Lauderdale to its focus city and support campus in Orlando. As JetBlue continues expanding service across the Sunshine State, with new routes in Orlando, Tampa, Vero Beach, and Daytona Beach, the airline now serves or plans to serve nearly 50 destinations from Florida. This expansion contributes to JetBlue’s JetForward strategy, which includes building the best East Coast leisure network.
