JetBlue has begun daily service between New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and the brand-new Felipe Carrillo Puerto Tulum International Airport (TQO) in Tulum, Mexico.
The new flights aboard an Airbus A320 depart from JFK at 8 a.m., arriving in Tulum at 11:15 a.m. The return flight departs at 12:45 p.m. and lands in New York just before 6 p.m.
Tulum marks JetBlue's third destination in Mexico, joining Cancun and Los Cabos.
JetBlue is celebrating the new route with fares as low as $99 for a limited time.
"As the only airline with direct service from New York’s JFK to Tulum, we are thrilled to offer our customers our award-winning service, low fares, and another option when traveling to the Mexican Caribbean," David Jehn, JetBlue’s vice president of network planning and airline partnerships, said in a statement. "JetBlue began service to Mexico more than 17 years ago with flights from New York to Cancun and we’re proud to expand our footprint in Mexico."
"JetBlue has been an invaluable partner in connecting travelers from across the United States to the Mexican Caribbean with direct flights to Cancun. We are excited to see this partnership continue to flourish with JetBlue's new daily nonstop service from New York JFK to Tulum," added Andrés Martínez Reynoso, Director of the Quintana Roo Tourism Board.
"Tulum, with its serene beaches, eco-conscious living, and rich Mayan history, will now be more accessible to travelers, in addition to points of interest further south along the Grand Costa Maya. We look forward to welcoming New Yorkers, and those transiting through JFK, to this new era in the Mexican Caribbean."
By the end of 2024, JetBlue will serve 40 international destinations.
