JetBlue TrueBlue - B6 next new destination for 2012?

Where B6 can do next new destination city for 2012? Any predication, where do you think they gonna next? Perhaps PHX-FLL, MCO, LGB, SEA, ANC, SFO, AUS, ORD, JAX, NAS, BUF, SYR, ROC.

Perhaps, can B6 will consider service to PHL, ALB, PVD, ISP, STL, MCI, MSP, SAT, ELP, LBB, DTW, FNT, MKE, GRB, DSM, OMA, GSO, GSP, CAE, CHS, SAV, EUG, BIL, BOI, GEG, TYS, TRI, CHA, MEM and RNO, too.

Let's the speculations begin.

It would be nice if Jet Blue could go somewhere else other than Boston and JFk from Charlotte ... I know US Air controls most of the flights but something down to Orlando or Fort Lauderdale would be nice and maybe something to the left cost ( LAS or some where in CA )

Something like that is too difficult for Jetblue to support...If you click on "where we fly" on their website and put in DCA-SXM it routes you via BOS or JFK. However, if you try to purchase a revenue ticket, the damn booking engine doesn't know how to route you DCA-BOS or IAD-BOS/JFK to catch the flight to SXM...so annoying. And yes, the dates I selected flights are available to SXM but just not from DCA...not a timing issue either as B6 has 6am flights to connect to BOS/JFK hubs.

Jetblue routing SUCKS, PERIOD! As a JFK/BOS flyer it works perfectly. I have no complaints when I'm home in BOS and need to use B6, anywhere else it is a nightmare.

I don't think ever served DCA-SXM but, there is no customs in DCA. Does not have CBP in DCA at all. Only in IAD. Because it was perimeter rule within 1,200 miles. They cannot accepted flying more than 1,200 miles long.

HPN/JFK/LGA to SAV or CHS is ripe for Hilton Head Island and those other historic cities..

I think jetBlue would do well into SAV and CHS and would love to see that. I am still wondering what we are going to see come out of LGA and DCA. Since I am going to school on the west coast right now, I would love if jetBlue had stronger service at AUS so that I could possibly go SEA-AUS-FLL/MCO/PBI/TPA. Going through JFK or BOS is long, and I enjoy my flights better on B6 than on AA, DL and UA. Can't wait to hear the announcements when they come, and DFW, though surprising to me, is very nice for jetBlue out of BOS.

I'd love to see them start flying to LGW.

I'd love to see them start flying to LGW.

Not for a while unless when A320neo is delivery to B6. A320neo isn't ready to delivery sometime in year of 2015 or 2016.

Time is ripe for a return to Atlanta. They could pick up a lot of Airtran customers who do not want to go with Southwest (like me).

DCA has international flights, but only to airports with pre-clearance, such as YYZ, NAS, and BDA.

but since SXM is outside the perimeter, you will not see DCA-SXM flights.

Would love to see JFK-SJD or JFK-PVR-- even as seasonal!

i was going off of flights to/from DCA...i don't think there is DCA-AUA service, is there?

No, only IAD, JFK, BOS, FLL. MCO, MIA, ATL, ORD.

I've heard rumors they may start flying the E-190's to Hyannis, Cape Cod as a seasonal service.

JFK-HYA, not a bad deal considering my family is from there.

Is that short flight? It was 196 miles. I wasn't sure if there is on weight restricted.

The time is ripe for US to enter the PHL market...

*B6 has enough brand recognition along the east coast to draw traffic.
*Better yield opportunities than what Spirit is achieving out of Atlantic City.
*Virgin has already announced PHL-west coast service, and JetBlue seems to match rather quickly historically.
*The Southwest drawdown means a robust LCC presence is lacking.

I noticed that US Airways' fares on PHL-BOS and PHL-MHT have risen.

After the Southwest announcement to end PIT and BOS area services, US increased PHL-PIT and PHL-PVD to over $249 one way on PVD and more on PIT, but the PHL-BOS and PHL-MHT routes were increased to just $101 one way.

Now, BOS is $249 one way.

One can find a better deal on EWR-BOS as JetBlue competes now, but reaching EWR from PHL for a short flight still seems a hassle. Some might just take the train all the way to BOS.

It really makes NK's ACY-BOS a deal, however NK is keeping it seasonal and ending it right after Labor Day.

WN dumped the PHL-MHT and PHL-PIT routes because the loads sucked and were unprofitable. Thant being the case, why would B6 want it?

The question is: why did the loads suck?
Is it because of the WN hard product, schedule, US FF? Maybe B6 could do better with their superior IFE.

I think PHL-BOS would be interesting maybe we could potentially see PHL-BOS/FLL/MCO. I am more interested in what they are planning for DCA and LGA with the new slots. More than PHL I would love to see maybe on E90 some serviceDTW out of JFK/BOS. Also, Barger met with the folks over at PVD so that will likely become a new station this year as well. Since I am out in the west for school, I am would love to see better AUS connectivity to Florida stations for more direct flights rather than connecting at JFK/BOS.

Yes, you're right. They didn't work out very well. Maybe if B6 will have a consider to start more direct flight from PHL-PIT/FLL/ORD/SFO/LAX/TPA/MCO. Let's wait and see if they will have consider it. I would considered if they can start more specific new route from MHT-FLL/MCO/TPA/PHL/AUS/ORD/DFW/NAS/SJU.

I do not know if it will be in 2012 but reports here in Rhode Island is that its a very good chance of B6 coming to PVD

JetBlue CEO says 'very good chance' airline coming to R.I.'s Green



By Paul Edward Parker



WARWICK, R.I. -- The chief executive of JetBlue Airways said on Sunday that there is a "very good chance" the low-cost airline will make an announcement this spring about beginning service at T.F. Green Airport.

Airlines generally make spring announcements about service that will begin in the fall.

JetBlue CEO David J. Barger visited Green last week, the third time in recent months he has visited the airport or met with Rhode Island officials at his New York offices.

In response to a Providence Journal query on Twitter.com about the chances of an announcement in the spring, Barger replied:

"A very good chance; Governor Chafee and team rock!"

http://news.providencejournal.com/business/2012/01/jetblue-ceo-says-very-good-chance-airline-coming-to-green.html

I think B6 will start service PVD-FLL/MCO/TPA/AUS/SJU/RSW/PBI or etc. They won't be in JFK due to congestion.

Just a speculating for which the specific route is that.

I assume B6 will start PVD (if they do) the same way they did BDL. They'll put on a few flights a day to MCO and FLL. Then maybe a daily flight each to one or two other Florida cities (possibly seasonal).

The chance of B6 ever starting PVD-AUS is just about nil. They can't even support seven day a week service on BOS-AUS.

I think B6 will start service PVD-FLL/MCO/TPA/AUS/SJU/RSW/PBI or etc. They won't be in JFK due to congestion.

Just a speculating for which the specific route is that.

you can cross AUS, SJU, RSW, and PBI off that list for initial service. FLL and MCO are pretty safe bets.

WN dumped the PHL-MHT and PHL-PIT routes because the loads sucked and were unprofitable. Thant being the case, why would B6 want it?

You assume B6 would want those same city pairs. I'm sure there are quite a number of better yielding destinations ex PHL B6 could jump into.

JFK and FLL to PAP.

JFK and FLL to PAP.

Why let SPIRIT have all the fun?

You assume B6 would want those same city pairs. I'm sure there are quite a number of better yielding destinations ex PHL B6 could jump into.

From a business traveler perspective, I think BOS-PHL and BOS-ATL have to be on the list somewhere.

Especially as B6 is trying to grow its business traveler base in Boston. This would be in line with BOS-DFW (flight to legacy carrier hub in major business market).

I agree that I don't see them jumping into random markets like MHT-PHL or PVD-AUS, where they have no real strength.

JFK and FLL to PAP.

Actually, they won't be in JFK due to the congestion. Only where they will fly from MCO/FLL/BOS-PAP.

It won't be Canada this year.

Possibly 2013! "@DarrenChannel: Greetings from a former All-You-Can-Jetter! Any chance of JB adding routes to Canada? Calgary? Vancouver?"

Hate to break it to you:

JetBlue will likely not expand domestically but maybe one or two cities. The only certain thing is they are eyeing ATL, but they were bitten once and now twice shy about it. The DFW announcement is a one-off due to the AA bankruptcy.

Expansion is going to heavily, and possibly strictly, the Caribbean, South America, and that neck of the woods.

Does anyone know if the 320's have the range to reach Brazil ex-FLL/MCO? Brazil is an intriguing market being that the country is an emerging energy power. Also, with the Olympics and World Cup coming up, there will be no shortage of demand.

I expect PVD and ISP to happen this year.

Also, FLL-BOG is coming; anyone know a date on that or if it is officially announced?

With incentives now available at GSO, let's hope B6 considers new service there.

No, I haven't hear anything lately. I'll let you know if I hear any more new info from DOT.

Looks like they applied for the authorities in September 2011. It was approved but, apparently due to delays on the Colombia side, the company has requested a delay until May for starting the service. http://www.airlineinfo.com/Sites/DailyAirline/web-content/ostdocket2011/ost20110174.html

Oh great! Now we will wait for a while. I guess due to Colombia government hasn't gotten approved yet.

Actually, the Colombians have approved it per the details in that link.

Actually, the Colombians have approved it per the details in that link.

You're absolutely right. They has already received approved. They haven't figure it out when B6 will inauguration service FLL-BOG.

From Providence, expect San Juan to be in the mix as an initial destination or added soon after start up. As with Hartford, there is a huge under-served Puerto Rican market.

For business destinations, only Philadelphia would seem to make sense since most ex-Airtran pax who do not like Southwest will just go back to Delta.

I was surprised that Jetblue did not pick up Newport News since Airtran was able to make Boston, New York and Orlando work, all big bases for Jetblue. Maybe they will still add it in 2012. '

I wish they would add something else in Mexico, beyond to Cancun. Orlando-Mexico City seems to be a no-brainer. Same with Orlando-Panama City.

Not likely, I'm guessing.

Dave Neeleman started JetBlue and was unceremoniously dumped. He went to Brazil and started Azul, and now he owns it outright and it's not a public company. I'm guessing that JetBlue is not keen to stick its toe into Neeleman's pool, especially when Neeleman can pretty much do anything he wants without stockholders looking over his shoulder and second guessing him. It makes him more able to react quickly and decisively if JetBlue started to threaten his market. And he knows where so many of the bodies are buried within JetBlue that he would have a strategic advantage there, as well.

New airline will be announced on Feb 13.

Well, well, well, isn't B6 will considering service to PHF. Maybe B6 will startup service PHF-BOS/FLL/MCO/TPA/AUS or LGB/LAS.

Unfortunately, B6 will not coming to PHF. They still searching for new airline is coming to PHF. I'm very disappointed the news to hear.

Barger recently said no to MLB (http://boardingarea.com/blogs/flyingwithfish/2012/01/29/jetblue/). Hard to believe that DAB is all that much more likely.

Yes, you're right. It was too close MCO/MLB. I don't think it's happening in the future. DAB is a right choice. It was not too far away from St. Augustine or Jacksonville, FL.

Two words: Honolulu, Hawaii

Probably not for a while unless if they have A320neo delivered. Probably they won't startup service to Hawaii sometime in 4 or 5 years.

LGB-BOS is farther than LGB-HNL.... or can't they fly those existing A320 over the Pacific? :confused:

LGB-BOS is farther than LGB-HNL.... or can't they fly those existing A320 over the Pacific? :confused:

It's only about 40 miles longer to fly LGB-BOS than LGB-HNL but there are 2 problems. 1 is that we aren't certified for ETOPS and 2nd is we some times struggle to make BOS-LGB without a tech stop for fuel. Over the pacific there isn't any place to stop for fuel so if you run into stronger than predicted headwinds you are going to be in trouble.

:-:

They will absolutely not be operating to HNL with the current fleet. Barger also said that in his recent route planning tweet fest. It would probably work if they blocked 20-30 seats and also limited cargo but then they'd have no chance of making money so why bother.

I believe they have to gets ETOPS overwater certified from FAA approval. If they have required to get lifevest & rafts, too. They have to trained the ETOPS overwater certified.

Perhaps B6 using the E190 plane to replace the PHF-MCO/BOS/NYC runs that FL is pulling?

I said it before, but why not connect the dots first? There are still no BOS-BGI/HOU/ROC/SLC/SMF/STX/SYR/UVF flights.

BOS-PHL... please? WN pulled out and now fares on US are skyrocketing. Would be nice to come back to B6, too.

I said it before, but why not connect the dots first? There are still no BOS-BGI/HOU/ROC/SLC/SMF/STX/SYR/UVF flights.

Still waiting...

It seems though that growth has come to a halt with respect to new routes. Maybe the entire air travel market is saturated and henceforth the only thing that will actually happen are capacity cuts and cancellations. :(

Strong rumor, partially confirmed by somebody reliable, that you will see 1, maybe 2 destinations announced within the next 2 weeks. We are suppose to start 2 cities domestically by the end of the year and maybe 1 in the caribbean.

Barger said on Twitter to not expect anything this coming week. Wouldn't be too surprised to see another New England city added to the map in the near future.

Don't forget they have wi-fi trials starting this summer and I think the growth at DCA and LGA has taken the fleet to the limit for now.

The heavy checks on all those due are taking a toll for now as well.

The new cities to be announced will be for the end of this year.

MEM has a $1mm bounty for new/competitive service which goes into effect on July 1. Could be interesting. I could see MCO/FLL and onward connections as well as BOS doing OK. AUS, probably, too, but who knows.

How about JFK, LGB, LAX, SFO, SAN, SEA, PHX, LAS. They need to expanding more domestic new route from MEM. This is right choice.

I would imagine that we would probably see PVD-FLL/MCO and if Memphis turns out to be true, then maybe MEM-BOS/JFK/FLL/MCO.
I am excited about ViaSat WiFi trials starting, can't wait to be on an aircraft with it. I am also interested in the powerports for EMS seats.

http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2012/jun/24/jetblue-eyeing-naples-municipal-airport-7638/

B6 eyeing Naples, FL (APF). B6 will consider service from APF-JFK or BOS.

MEM has a $1mm bounty for new/competitive service which goes into effect on July 1. Could be interesting. I could see MCO/FLL and onward connections as well as BOS doing OK. AUS, probably, too, but who knows.

If JetBlue ever wanted to expand at AUS, now is the time.

1. For the first four months of 2012, JetBlue's passenger totals at AUS were up 14.9% from the same period in 2011.

April 2012 AUS Activity Report (http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/austinairport/downloads/stats_april_12.pdf) (scroll down to Page 15.)

2. JetBlue uses Gate 19 at AUS. United formerly used Gates 21 & 23. UA has now taken over Gate 25, but gave up Gate 21 - right next door to JetBlue's Gate.

AUS Gate Map (http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/austinairport/downloads/map_concourse.pdf)

Any truth to the rumors of JetBlue possibly starting service into MHT not sure if it would make sense since they already have service into BOS, BDL and might possibly go into PVD.

I would tend to doubt it anytime soon. As much as I would LOVE having them come to MHT since I live just a few miles from there, I can only see it happening if their BOS-JFK service is full and they need more feeders into JFK for growth. (Note that they are also in PWM and JFK appears to be their most popular destination from there at 95,000 passenger per year, according to Wikipedia so that would already catch some of the north-of-Boston traffic)

No one said it was the third city. It will be the third route, however, as BOG has service from both FLL and MCO.

Right, they didn't say that. I think it was third route from BOG-FLL/MCO & CTG-JFK. My guess B6 will be next FLL-CTG or MCO-CTG.

Here the newspaper from Colombia News:

http://www.eluniversal.com.co/cartagena/local/jetblue-volara-directo-entre-nueva-york-y-cartagena-82251

JetBlue representatives have been meeting with GUA and BZE officials to open new routes to start this year. Does GUA and BZE have big markets in order to sustain flights from JFK/MCO/FLL?

How about JFK, LGB, LAX, SFO, SAN, SEA, PHX, LAS. They need to expanding more domestic new route from MEM. This is right choice.

no way they have that many destinations if they start MEM, sorry. if anything, BOS and FLL sound about right.

Hi All,

B6 would considered to expanding more new gates space expansion in entire concourse F. Because the entire concourse F is just only 10 gates but, there is no room to parked the aircraft. They need to get better aircraft utilization. The A320 will have freeing up to fly elsewhere out of FLL. I would assume if BCAD need to get an approves to start expansion more new gate space. They needed more room to park the gate.

Another new destination should be announced next week. There is a contest going on via our Facebook page. Correctly guess and you will be entered into a drawing for a getaway package to the new destination.

So far the clues for the new destination being announced on Tuesday are:

North of Aruba.

On a Peninsula

Sandals good.

Sunscreen a must.


This makes a Florida city very likely.


Unless they received fast approval for Naples, FL im thinking it would be DAB(daytona Beach). There were reports back in January that they were checking Daytona out.

I agree.

They just posted last clue: "Surprisingly, you can go whale watching at this destination"

What destination this is on a peninsula, sunscreen a must and sandals are a good choice would be surprising to go whale watching?

Thoughts?

They just posted last clue: "Surprisingly, you can go whale watching at this destination"

Apparently you can in Northern FL:

http://rightwhalewatch.blogspot.com/
http://floridarambler.com/florida-getaways/right-whales-in-florida-flagler-county/

Me now thinks Daytona has indeed a high probability.

I searched on google, and apparently Dec-Mar Daytona Beach you could see whales as they migrate. I wonder if it will be domestic and there or will be somewhere else. I thought of ISP(long island) but they said couple months ago they didnt have enough aircraft to be able to do ISP yet.

The only destination that springs to mind and fits the hints is Cabo San Lucas but I think we would have seen a DOT filing unless they do it concurrent with the announcement.

but I dont think its surprising that you can whale watch in Cabo. More surprising in Florida but it could be a possibility.

Puerto Vallarta? Only place I've been whale watching wearing sandals:confused:

Are u absolutely sure about this one? We will find out tomorrow morning. Let's wait for real official release from JetBlue tomorrow.

I meant to say only other destination!!! I think it will wind up being daytona beach and probably only from JFK.

New city announcement tomorrow and another one following next week. 3 new cities in 3 straight weeks.

As for the announcement tomorrow, nobody in this thread has correctly guessed the new destination

@jetblueFA what about the city for next week, did anyone guess it correctly? and regardless, are the destinations domestic?

This week is not domestic, next week is.

BZE ??

No.

Guatemala City (GUA)?? - its borderline part of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Grrrr!! I always though Jetblue want to start new domestic service expansion. My guess will be SJD, PTY, ACA, MEX, MZT, PVR, MGA, SAL or CZM.

I think you got that right. It is AZS - Samana, DR!

B6 will launched JFK-AZS and this route will goes on effective Nov. 14, 2012. It will have a twice-weekly service.

We dont need more service to DR! They Suck!

Why? There is nothing wrong with you. They are very popular vacation trip.

I wasnt saying the DR sucks. I was saying JB sucks for not adding different destinations.

jetblue has announced over and over again that their focus for the time being is adding business markets from Boston and leisure markets from JFK which will be largely Caribbean/Latin America cities. They are going after routes they can make money on. There are plenty of carriers flying to small town middle USA. Maybe in the distant future they can focus on that--once the legacies carriers finish their merging and reduce capacity to the point where an alternative carrier would be able to add routes and make money.

Large cities like Chicago already have tons of capacity on multiple airlines from the NY area. Smaller cities in the center part of the USA will simply not make money from the get go.

It makes far more sense for B6 to add routes that will make money so that there will be future for them as a carrier growing throughout the Americas.

Patience....There is more new domestic routes next week or so. You'll see.
