JetBlue To Offer New Flights To The Dominican Republic

For anyone looking for fun in the sun in the Dominican Republic, the New York-based airline jetBlue has announced several new flights. In fact, flights to one of the most popular travel destinations can be booked right now for the Fall of 2023. Read on to find out more about the new offer from jetBlue.

JetBlue offers new flights to the Dominican Republic

Flying from Orlando, Florida, jetBlue’s new route to Santiago de los Caballeros in the Dominican Republic will be the only direct flight from this location.  The city is more commonly known as Santiago and isn’t itself a popular destination for travelers. However, there are a number of hidden gems to be found in the city, plus it makes the perfect starting point to the more popular destinations in the Dominican Republic.

The scenic beach town of Puerto Plata is just an hour and a half drive away by car or just over 2 hours by shuttle. Meanwhile, this location is perfect for its idyllic beaches and sprawling golf courses.

Another popular destination, easily accessible from Santiago, is the Samańa peninsula. Travelers heading to Cibao International Airport can rent a car to explore this gorgeous area with its unspoiled beaches and lush rainforest. While new resorts are coming up on the peninsula, currently this is the ideal place to totally get away from it all, avoiding crowds and chilling out in nature.

From November 4, 2023, flights will be offered on this route as follows:

• Orlando (MCO) to Santiago (STI) daily at 1:00 pm
• Santiago (STI) to Orlando (MCO) daily at 5:30 pm

New JetBlue route to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Meanwhile, the airline is also introducing a new route to Punta Cana, a beautiful beach location with new resorts coming, many of which are family-friendly. Moreover, the destination has a new theme park for everyone in the family to have fun.

Moreover, Punta Cana became popular due to its open border policy during the pandemic. Now, millions of people visit each year for a getaway in the sun. Currently, this new route is on sale with certain dates offering great prices.

Flight schedule from November 4, 2023:

• Orlando (MCO) to Punta Cana (PUJ) daily at 8:35 am
• Punta Cana (PUJ) to Orlando (MCO) daily at 1:10 pm

Major Caribbean Destinations for JetBlue

 

David Jehn, Vice President, Network Planning and Partnerships, JetBlue said in a statement:

Punta Cana and Santiago are both major Caribbean destinations, but limited options exist for customers to get there from Orlando today. These new routes, along with those that will be enabled by our combination with Spirit, will position us to deliver even more growth and connectivity to popular destinations for customers in Central Florida.
