JetBlue Launches Historic Nonstop Service from Los Angeles to Nassau, Connecting Coasts to Caribbean Splendor

JetBlue and The Bahamas have inaugurated a landmark nonstop service, connecting the West Coast of the United States directly to the heart of the Caribbean. On November 4, 2023, the first JetBlue flight from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) in Nassau touched down, marking the beginning of a new era in travel convenience between these two iconic destinations.

The new route is a game-changer for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the Bahamas' world-renowned beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant culture without the inconvenience of connecting flights. The Honorable I. Chester Cooper, Bahamas Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments & Aviation, hailed the service as a gateway for countless travelers to explore the Bahamas' rich heritage and warm hospitality.

Passengers on the inaugural JetBlue flight #2710 were welcomed in true Bahamian style with a lively Junkanoo celebration, offering a taste of the unforgettable experiences that await in the Bahamas. Erik Hildebrandt, Director of Domestic Cities at JetBlue, expressed the airline's excitement in providing a new, direct link to Nassau, a destination synonymous with world-class leisure and luxury.

Nassau and Paradise Island are not just gateways to the Bahamas but destinations rich with luxury resorts, diverse dining, shopping, vibrant nightlife, and authentic cultural experiences. The islands serve as the perfect starting point for adventures across the Bahamas' 16 unique islands.

Joy Jibrilu, CEO of the Nassau Paradise Island Promotion Board, emphasized the ease with which Los Angeles residents can now access Nassau and Paradise Island's offerings. With JetBlue's new direct service, West Coast travelers can quickly find themselves basking in the Bahamian spirit and hospitality.

JetBlue is renowned for its customer-centric approach, offering the most legroom in coach, unlimited high-speed Fly-Fi, complimentary snacks and drinks, and seatback entertainment at every seat. The new service also features JetBlue's award-winning Mint premium experience, which includes lie-flat seats and a restaurant-style dining concept from Delicious Hospitality Group (DHG).

Operating once weekly, the flights depart from Los Angeles and Nassau on Saturdays, ensuring that the journey to and from this Caribbean paradise is as convenient as it is enjoyable.
