BOSTON, Aug. 15, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- JetBlue Airways (Nasdaq:JBLU) is expanding again in Boston with nonstop service to Santiago, Dominican Republic this winter. Logan International Airport's largest low-fare, low-cost airline will operate this convenient once-daily 'holiday shuttle' between December 12, 2007 and January 15, 2008*. Santiago will be the 27th destination served nonstop by JetBlue this winter from Boston.

JetBlue will operate the new flights -- Boston's only nonstop service to Santiago -- aboard its spacious Airbus A320 fleet, which offers travelers unrivaled amenities including comfy leather seats, the most legroom in coach, and complimentary seatback television service featuring first run movies and bonus features from FOX Inflight(tm). Affordable one-way fares start as low as US$109(a) each way between Logan and Santiago's Cibao International Airport. And did we mention you get the most legroom in coach and unlimited snacks and beverages for that incredibly low price?

"We're thrilled to be adding this new service to Santiago just in time for the holidays," said Marty St. George, JetBlue's Vice President of Network Planning. "Our Boston customers keep asking for more affordable service to the Caribbean, and we're pleased to bring it to them. With our low fares and great service, heading home or heading on holiday has never been easier or more affordable -- and now, it's even more comfortable!"

JetBlue customers at Logan International Airport can take advantage of nonstop service to more than two dozen popular destinations, including five cities in Florida and sun spots such as Aruba, Bermuda, Cancun, Nassau, and San Juan. In addition, convenient connecting service is available year-round between Boston and Santiago via New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Saturday only? The press release seems to say that it'll be daily for about a month. Will it be Sat only after that?

those flight times leave much to be desired!

The flight will be daily for the month. I don't think it will go Saturday-only afterwards unless demand warrants it.

As far as the flight times go - JetBlue does very well with red-eyes to the Caribbean from JFK and MCO, so I don't see why BOS would be any different. Hey, whatever works...

those flight times leave much to be desired!

That doesn't seem to matter. The flights will sell out as this is a huge destination for Bostonians during this period. Almost 3/4 of our last 190 flights to JFK were connections to the D.R. last year leaving at the same departure time out of JFK...

Like JAX2BOS said, despite those flight times, that flight will be sold out on a regular basis. It is the same for every single one of those flights to DR and PR out of JFK. That's why we keep adding 10 amd 11pm departures, that and aircraft utilization.

[My emphasis]

Technically true that B6 operates the only non-stop between BOS and STI, but AA has a non-stop between BOS and SDQ with more convenient flight times.
