Carrier also brings back FLL flights to Guayaquil, Ecuador

JetBlue announced the return of two nonstop routes from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL). Beginning in July, the carrier will resume service between FLL and both Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) and José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (GYE) in Guayaquil, Ecuador.

These route additions come on top of JetBlue’s recent investments in South Florida, growing departures in the region by 6% year over year. JetBlue is doubling down, said the announcement, as Fort Lauderdale’s leading premium leisure carrier, now offering over 70 daily flights to over 30 destinations, the most flights of any airline this summer to the Caribbean and Latin America, and more than 60% growth in lie-flat seats compared with last summer.

Beginning July 3, flights will depart FLL at 8 a.m. and arrive in PHL at 10:50 a.m.; and depart FLL at 4:10 p.m. and arrive in PHL at 7 p.m. They will depart PHL at 11:45 a.m. and arrive in FLL at 2:35 p.m.; and depart PHL at 7:55 p.m. and arrive in FLL at 10:45 p.m.

On the Ecuador route, flights will depart FLL at 10 a.m. and arrive in GYE at 1:30 p.m. They will depart GYE at 2:40 p.m. and arrive in FLL at 8:09 p.m.

Both routes will be operated with JetBlue’s Airbus A320 aircraft, featuring complimentary name-brand snacks and drinks, high-speed Fly-Fi internet and seatback entertainment at every seat.
