I read earlier posts that said that JetBlue was applying for FLL to BOG & BAQ routes, they are also applying for a route from Orlanddo to San Jose too. It will be their first to Central America.

Here's another article in today's AM Costa Rica:

Jet Blue announces plan for daily flight in March

Jet Blue Airways, which opened a hub for Latin America in March at Orlando, Florida, said Wednesday it would begin flights to San José March 26. The airline is known as a customer-oriented one that makes money. The Orlando route will give Costa Rican residents options to fly to New York, Boston and 11 other U.S. destinations, the airline said.

The proposal is subject to regulatory approval. Jet Blue already flies to Bogotá, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic. Costa Rica will be the first Central American destination, the firm said. The company has its main hub at New York's JFK International Airport. The company plans a flight a day leaving Orlando at 10:40 a.m. with arrival in San Jose's Juan Santamaría airport at 11:53 a.m. local time. The return flight will leave San José at 12:48 p.m. and arrive in Orlando at 5:55 p.m., said the company.

Fares will run from $99 each way, the company said. Jet Blue is known for having a television set for each passenger seat.

You ALWAYS have an option ....... "NEXT" !!!

This is amazing news!!! For a guy like me, that lives in Orlando, it cant get any better. We havent had a one way flight to CR since Martin Air stopped their route. And $99 each way....thats a steal. This will make those weekend hops so much nicer and easier than connecting thru FLL, MIA, or Panama, and no more layovers!

This is the best Birthday present I have ever received!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't notice page 2 of the article this morning. I really like this:

"JetBlue will operate service to Costa Rica with its 100-seat EMBRAER E190, which offers coveted two-by-two seating (with no middle seat!), seatback televisions (including programming en Espanol), all-leather seating, the most legroom in coach of any U.S. airline, and unlimited free snacks and beverages."

Damn I might even drive 2 1/2 hours to ORL, rather than 2 to FLL for that!! Not that the service on JetBlue is any better than Spirit! IMO
