You definitely don’t know what you’re talking about. Jet blue flights are never full compared to American Airlines. Although this may help lower ticket prices when it comes down to competition.

You forget that the Airport got Southwest/AirTran to fly out of BOTH Atlanta AND BWI a few years ago, but the Atlanta flight was gone by the end of the summer and the BWI flight gone the following year – no demand! Flights were empty. Sigh.

We definitely need a night flight departing for JFK/MIA/ATL. The problem is logistics and scheduling.

If I remember correctly, there were talks of a flight arriving in the early afternoon and departing in the evening, not sure which airline that was. I believe it was JetBlue or maybe United. The announcement today by JetBlue may have been the ultimate decision of those talks tho.

Idk, BTA and Ministry revamped marketing strategies have been paying off. JetBlue’s JFK flight flies in and out pretty heavy every day it flies. I would even go as far as saying the flight has been heavier during the winter than it was during the summer.

I’m certain qualified experienced Bermudians could apply to work for JetBlue.

I personally only know one young Bermudian that fits the bill and he’s currently based in Florida flying for a executive jet company.

JetBlue out of ATL and or Ft. Lauderdale / Miami would be great….. Delta and AA have been poking out our eyes from those markets for years, they need some competition.

OBA suggesting tourists would have to get a local license to rent a 15hp mini-car seemed to cause Massachusetts to declare our license to be invalid to rent out there.

Request for the airlines….any chance we can get an after work flight from BDA to NYC. Departing BDA around 6, 7 or 8pm? Bermudians are crying out to fly after work and this way the tourists can spend the entire day on the beach before flying out.

Maybe that’s because Bermuda being the great ‘Nation’ and ‘Country’ that it is is really just too tiny to find at night .

Atlanta & Orlando are not major Southwest hubs. BWI is the biggest eastern hub with direct connections to many cities.

sorry I just saw the Boston service updated, nevermind!

Amazing how when people tell 1/4 stories that those dumb enough to beleive them will… PLP First Initiated Jet Blue Flying to Bermuda, let’s start there..American Airlines Miami Flight – yes PLP’s doings, West Jet out of Toronto a PLP Gov’t initiative also, Zoom Airlines out of London (Company went Bust) PLP Gov’t Initiative also.. I’d be impressed when I see your UBP Gov’t (Yes UBP) pull a Lufthansa out of Germany Direct, or KLM out of Amsterdam, until then I won’t jump up and down screeming success for another JFK Flight….

How about direct flights to Boston year round on Jet Blue? is it that dificult?

The real question is what did the OBA pay them, what deal was struck? Stop being stupid people BOB the destroyer said we had no money.

Hey Einstein, an early flight to JFK means a lot more options for connecting flights elsewhere. Use your head for more than a hat rack once in a while.

How about working a deal to get some Bermudian pilots working with B6. Provided they pass all the training it could be a win-win for both Bermuda and B6. Relationship building!

By: Triangle Drifter

Yes they did. There was the one from Germany. That didn’t last long. Then there was the flight from Chicago. That did not last long either. Seem to recall a couple other flash in the pan flights that did not last long.

So, bottom line, no the PLP did not increase flights.

Hey, but they went out & threw a couple of baseballs before the game when nobody pays attention. They had some buses in London painted pink. Maybe it was taxis. Who remembers? Then there were pink mopeds somewhere else. Again, did anyone pay attention?

Awesome news, but can we get Southwest Airlines to fly to Bermuda out of destinations like Atlanta, Orlando and BWI…also a competitor for British Airways!

By: oh dear

oh dear — Wed, 21 Dec 2016 20:14:29 +0000

Well done to all concerned. Now can we please have a direct flight – Delta or Jet Blue – to and from Orlando/Bda at sociable hours.

We love Bermuda but there needs to be flights direct, non-stop, from southwest Florida. We have been waiting for years and would love to return to the island we love so much. Thank you, in advance.

So P.L.P. NEVER had an increase of flights.
LMFAO

Have you noticed who rules the roost in Atlanta?

What we need is a Southwest out of BWI. Huge airline & BWI is a big hub for them.

Now if O B.A. pulls that off, they’ll get my vote.

Can we get a different airline to compete with Delta out of Atlanta.

Nice. But come on, another flight to JFK. This now makes 5 flights during the winter and 6 flights during the summer including United to Newark. The customers will love this but I can see an airline making moves.

This is why the OBA has to go!

More flights mean more foreigners!

PLP all the way!

Thank you, JetBlue, BTA and the Ministry! More flights are good for all of us— tourism, residents and international business. This is great news indeed, and surely a lot of work went into securing these flights.

Slow down OBA. There might end up being more strikes..
