JetBlue TrueBlue - Time to call U-Haul - FLL move planned

This June, we will invest in our South Florida focus city at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport by relocating our operations from Terminal 1 into an expanded area in Terminal 3. This move offers us many benefits, including the opportunity to streamline operations onto a single concourse (as opposed to today’s split-concourse operation); grow our gate count from 4 ½ to 6 gates (with option to expand into 10 gates); and have easier access to Customs and Immigration facilities for our growing roster of international flights.

As our flight schedule has grown over the years at FLL, we’ve reached the point where Terminal 1 no longer suits our needs. Our current split-concourse configuration is inconvenient for Customers and Crewmembers alike, requiring connectors to exit the sterile area and go through TSA screening a second time.

In addition, as we begin international service in June to/from destinations like Cancún and Santo Domingo where Customs pre-clearance is not available, being steps from the airport’s immigration facilities in Terminal 4 will go a long way toward smoothing connections.

When is this going to happen ? This is a good move for Jetblue to have all of their gates in on section . I just flew in to FLL the other day and felt sorry for anyone who had to switch from the B gates to the C gates . At one point there was a rumor that Jetblue was going to move back to the C gates (from the B gates) at West Palm Beach . Have you heard if this is going to happen ?

The move in FLL will take place in June. A little later a postsecurity walkway will be built from T3 to T4 for international customers who are making a connection. As for PBI, I'm not sure if a decision has been made on that or not.

How? Where did you figured it out more info from FLL? So is that B6 will be moving into terminal 3 will takeover whole concourse F, am I correct? So what about AA, US, UP will have to be moved out at old terminal 3. So do you know which airlines will be moving into terminal 1 along with CO, WN, F9.

CLE is worth another airline, esp at good prices...what are the chances?

B6 will be sharing F with AA.

US, UP and FL remain at the other end of Term 3. (E)

NW has moved to Term 2 w/ Delta. Allegiant has moved from Term 2 to Term 1.

B6 will be sharing F with AA.

Wait! I mention that AA will be moving out of terminal 3 to T1. This is reason why my friends had told me onto email last night. So this is situation going on in FLL. AA will be moving to terminal 1 along with CO, WN, F9 and G4, too.

My father has an upcoming flight to FLL and received this email today:


Subject: Terminal Move at Ft. Lauderdale Airport

Dear name,

We know you'll be jetting with us soon and wanted to let you know about our terminal move at Ft. Lauderdale - Hollywood International Airport (FLL). Starting June 3, 2009, all JetBlue flights will operate from Terminal 3.

Please allow yourself a little extra time when arriving or departing for your JetBlue Airways flight #XX on XX/XX/2009.

We are grateful you have chosen to jet with us and look forward to seeing you at our new location at Terminal 3.


Happy Jetting!

So this is it for B6 will be moving to terminal 3 in the concourse F. So AA will have to be move. So I knows JetBlue will be takeover whole concourse F, am I correct? So there is no another carrier in the concourse F but, it will be easier access from Terminal 4 to get clear at Customs & Immigrations. The aircraft will be towed back to terminal 3 will be easier for me. So what about B6 will try to get more potential new route for FLL-ANU, BGI, GND, KIN, MBJ, PLS, AUA, CZM, UVF, SXM, STT, FPO, POS, STI, PLU, PAP.

So what about JetBlue will ever to be reintroduces service for FLL-PSE/BQN but, it was reason why the loads wasn't doing quite very well. Its has been discontinuation immediately. It's no longer exist due to competing with NK. So I think it should getting better for those days and It should to put on operated daylight flight instead of flying by redeye flight. It will be guaranteeing can do that for flying only for daylight flight.

Interesting, I didnt receive anything but it will hopefully be a positive move for B6.

It appears that JetBlue initially intends to take up only 6 of the 10 F gates in Terminal 3. Given that AA currently seems to be using only 3 of the F gates, they can probably cohabit for a while with JetBlue in the F concourse. Remember that AA also does some international flying from FLL, so they presumably are reluctant to move any further from the International Arrival gates in T4. My guess is that a move for AA is planned if and when JetBlue cranks up their ambitious growth plans for FLL.

Are any major improvements planned for for B6's new digs in T3 like Virgin America did at T3 @ LAX? Any new routes planned in the short term? Chicago O'Hare, Las Vegas, Los Angeles or Santiago perhaps? With this move, Spirit's future sinks further into the abyss.

No, no, not this one for VX doesn't exist in terminal 3 at FLL. I knows B6 will be operated in terminal 6 along with UA, CO at LAX. I knows it was another carrier are already existing in terminal 3 only for VX, VA, VS.

Oops, I guess I wasn't very clear. VX spent a couple million bucks making their section of LAX Terminal 3 nicer through various renovations. Check out the Cranky Flier's photos.

I was wondering whether B6 would do something similar in the new Fort Lauderdale site.

I think what I know which one of old UA ticket counter will be takeover and might AA will have to be move out of concourse F. B6 will have all 10-gates in the concourse F. I think B6 will have to get more expansion ticket counter former AA ticket counter. I think AA will be moved into terminal 1 along with CO, WN, F9, G4. Its should need to get more congestions for less crowding at security checkpoint. They doesn't have need to leave from security anymore. IT will be stay in the same concourse.

I was wondering whether B6 would do something similar in the new Fort Lauderdale site.I flew out of and back into FLL on AA earlier this week. There were no visible signs of extensive changes in the F concourse.

AFAIK, at present, AA is using F3, F5, F7 and F8 (IIRC I went out of F7 and returned into F8 last Wednesday evening). AA used to utilize F9 and F10when they had more flights ex-FLL (including the four FLL-LAX nonstops).

UA / Ted used to have F4 and F6 before they pulled out of FLL.

Its should need to get more congestions for less crowding at security checkpoint.As long as AA maintains the elite line at security ;), I will be happy to share the F Concourse with the fine people from B6.

Also, NW just vacated T1 to join Delta at T2. So maybe AA will be moving to the T1 area formerly occupied by NW (this is strictly a guess).

I think it's more likely that AA will take over B6's old area at T1. Allegiant I think is going to the old NW counter space. Right now they have a temporary set up in between B6 and WN. I wonder where all of this will leave F9?

I know F9 is still sharing with B6 ticket counter right next to CO. So I think it will be stay in the terminal 1 for a long time. There is no airlines need to be moved out of terminals yet.

An AA employee at the airport stated yesterday that it will be FL moving over to Terminal 1.

Once FL is moved, AA will move from T3 Concourse F to FL's old space in T3 Concourse E.

With AA moved out of the way, B6 can then complete its consolidation into T3 Concourse F. I did notice yesterday evening that the jet bridges extending from gates F2 and F4 now had the B6 logo on them.

What about older UA gate does still there or might to be removed it? I just suggested where AA will be moving to terminal 1 in the concourse C. B6 will have whole concourse F in terminal 3 is more convenient. This is where international flight is incoming into T4 to get cleared Customs & Immigrations. So they will have to be towed all the way to terminal 3 in the domestic gates.

It'll will be guaranteeing where B6 will have expandable more new routes for FLL-PTY/SJO/CZM/MBJ/KIN/SXM/UVF/GND/BGI/STT/POS/CUR/AUA. Well, it might need to get more capacity growth in FLL for next potential new international expansions.

However, B6 need to be flexibility the schedules where domestic flight incoming into FLL later in the afternoon. It will have catch connection flights out of FLL banks. It will looking for future new routes coming soon in domestic USA is FLL-LAX/SAN/SFO/SEA/LAS/PHX/DEN/ORD/BTV/PWM. It will have enough more demand. It will have particular consideration for which routes will be choose.

According to B6's and FLL's Wikipedia page, Jetblue will add daily nonstop service on FLL-Aguadilla after roughly an eighteen month hiatus on November. While I don't treat wikis as gospel, I'll bet B6 will announce this [and maybe more?!] when they move this week.

Wait it minutes! This is one of former routes for FLL-BQN has been discontinuation by earlier 2008 due to poor performance. I don't think such good idea. I think it will be more tougher competitive against NK are already still existing service for FLL-BQN.

I don't think they ever launched the FLL-BQN service a year and a half ago, FLL-Ponce was what B6 operated and discontinued.

No, probability not.

Here is the official bulletin from FLL:

Yep, sure did. IT is already moving into terminal 3 in the concourse F. So what about AA will eventually to be moved out old T3 immediately. IT will have freeing up more gates space to keep more capacity growth in FLL.

Rumor has it that if and when JetBlue needs the rest of the space in concourse F, AirTran will move out of T3 concourse E to T1. Then AA will shift from concourse F to concourse E, while staying in T3.

How many gates would this give JetBlue? How many could FL get?

JetBlue is supposed to get the rest of concourse F which would bring them to 10 gates in all. It looks like AirTran currently is only using 3 gates on concourse E. Since JetBlue left behind 4 1/2 empty gates and Northwest recently left behind another 2 gates, both in Terminal 1, I'm sure AirTran can be accommodated easily enough.

It is 10 gates each 2 split concourse E & F in T3.

Uh... Check out the post you're questioning. The answer to your question is in the post you quoted. His source is the AA employee at the airport, presumably at FLL.
