One hour connection in FLL to Costa rica
Hello,
We are booked on a JetBlue flight from Westchester airport on NY. We then catch a JB flight to San Jose, Costa Rica. JB just changed the connection time from 90 minutest to 60 minutes. Do all the JB flights arrive and leave from the same terminal? I am wondering if this is enough time. I know there is a short train ride to other terminals. Nonetheless, do not want to take a chance if we have to do that. It seems that JB only has one flight per day to San Jose, Costa Rica out of FLL. So, if we miss it, we are done.

If this is 2 separate tickets I would call Jet Blu and see what they say. If you are late and ,iss the second flight it would be up to you to sort out a new flight as you would be considered a no-show.

Thank you for replying. This is a single ticket with a connection. We travel carryon only. Unfortunately, JB has no other flights to San Jose until the next day. When I booked this flight the layover was almost 90 minutes. If we miss this connection, we are stuck in FLL overnight, which means we miss a day in Costa Rica that is paid for.

ETA: Also, check the credit card used for the trip as it might offer coverage of some missed connection expenses as well.

Are you willing to go out on JetBlue's JFK-SJO nonstop, if JetBlue is willing to switch you to that flight at no charge?

There is no direct flight from JFK to San Jose for my travel date in early May. That JFK flight also connects to the same flight in FLL also with a 60 minute layover. Otherwise, I would definitely be on it. I don't like connecting flights. I do hope given that both flights connect to the same FLL flight, the airline feels that the layover is reasonable.

If you miss the flight it will be up to the airline yo put you in a hotel, food etc. But that may not be enough if you do not want to miss a day in Cost Rica. If the airline changed the layover on a single ticket then they think it will be fine. They will either make it or hold the plane. You may find the gates are only a few minutes walk apart.
