JetBlue Airways intends to expand at Baltimore/Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport, with twice daily service to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

This new service will give Maryland and Washington area residents an option to get away and enjoy many of South Florida’s premier leisure destinations, as well as the ability to connect on to JetBlue’s diverse network throughout the Caribbean, Central and South America.

The new non-stop route to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood will launch in November and seats will go out for sale with the upcoming November schedule release.

“Since beginning Baltimore flights in 2009, JetBlue has become the preferred option for travelers between BWI and Boston,” said Scott Laurence, JetBlue’s senior vice president of airline planning.

“We’re expanding upon our successful foundation at BWI and will be providing the award-winning JetBlue experience including the most legroom and assigned seating for customers traveling to Florida and points south.”

JetBlue also serves the Baltimore/Washington region with flights from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and Dulles International Airports (IAD).
