Jet Blue will relaunch year-around flights from Fort
Lauderdale to the Cayman Islands this winter, offering weekly departures on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays.
The new route starts December 4.
This new JetBlue service makes short getaways more
realistic, while creating easier connections for longer vacations. Three weekly
flights from Ft. Lauderdale mean more flexibility for travelers across Florida
and beyond.
For Cayman’s tourism sector, the flights represent resilience and
growth. For visitors, they offer a chance to plan winter escapes with less
hassle — and more time on the beach.
The Cayman Islands’ attractions include Stingray City, still
one of the Caribbean’s signature marine encounters. The Queen Elizabeth II
Botanic Park tells the story of the rare Blue Iguana while Pedro St. James
offers a step into history. The Cayman Crystal Caves reveal a hidden
underworld carved over millennia.
The return of Ft. Lauderdale flights adds to JetBlue’s
existing Cayman network. The airline already offers nonstop service from
New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and from Boston Logan
International Airport, two gateways that link the Cayman Islands with the
Northeast.
With the addition of the Ft. Lauderdale route, JetBlue now
connects Grand Cayman with three major U.S. cities, giving travelers across the
East Coast and Florida more options and more flexibility for planning their
trips.
