Here’s everything you need to know about JetBlue’s hottest new Caribbean destination.

JetBlue’s New Service to St. Kitts and Nevis

With the addition of St. Kitts and Nevis, JetBlue now flies nonstop from its home airport of JFK to 22 Caribbean island destinations.

The best part is that the service is year-round, meaning that sun-seekers can make the most of the islands’ beaches and climate whenever they wish.

Round-trip service is scheduled 3 times per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at the following times:

• Depart New York (JFK) 9:29 a.m. — Arrive Basseterre (SKB) 2:14 p.m.
• Depart Basseterre (SKB) 3:30 p.m. — Arrive New York (JFK) 7 p.m.

Thanks to JetBlue’s arrival in St Kitts, New Yorkers will have significantly improved connectivity to the islands, as until the inaugural service, there was only 1 flight per week operated by ex-Northeast Alliance partner American Airlines.

JetBlue’s Airbus A320 aircraft — complete with speedy, unlimited, free Wi-Fi for all passengers — will operate this new route.

For a limited time only, JetBlue is offering one-way fares from JFK to St. Kitts for $169 when booking directly through the airline’s website.
