JetBlue began new daily direct flights from Newark International Airport to Punta Cana on 19 November 2020. The relatively short flight makes it possible for tourists to get to the beach fast. Punta Cana resorts are operating under extensive health protocols, and the low density and health protodols tourists will find at the resorts increases the likelihood of having a Covid-19 safe vacation.
JetBlue included the new route to meet demand by the leisure and visiting friends and relatives market segment. JetBlue reports that the VFR travel trends are up for the third quarter of the year. The increase in this market segment has reduced losses for the airline in the third quarter of the year.
The airline promotes itself saying it is flying Airbus A320 aircraft that offers the most legroom in coach. Service on-board includes free Fly-Fi, described as the fastest broadband internet in the sky. Travelers receive complimentary and unlimited name-brand snacks and soft drinks. Also included in all fares is live DirectTV on board the flight. Those booking flights with JetBlue also benefit from the waivers on all change and cancel fees for all fares.
