Building out its winter schedule, JetBlue has revealed the details of new service to the islands of Bonaire (BON) and St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVD), which will begin this fall.

The 2 new routes will operate from the airline’s main hub: New York’s JFK.

“By offering nonstop service from New York’s JFK Airport to both islands, we look forward to strengthening our presence in Latin America and the Caribbean and bringing our low fares and great service to new markets, while giving our customers more travel options,” said David Jehn, vice president of network planning and airline partnerships at JetBlue.

Here are the details of JetBlue’s hottest new routes to the Caribbean.

“We look forward to seeing you in St. Vincent and the Grenadines soon,” said Honorable Carlos James, minister of tourism, civil aviation, sustainable development, and culture for St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
