According to Andrea Lusso, JetBlue's Director of Route Planning, "We're thrilled to offer our customers even more options to fly to the Dominican Republic. With our low fares and award-winning service, we're confident that travelers will continue to choose JetBlue for their Caribbean getaways." The Dominican Republic is known for its stunning beaches, rich culture, and delicious food, making it a popular destination for vacationers. With JetBlue's new flights to Puerto Plata and Punta Cana, travelers can explore these destinations and enjoy a variety of activities, including water sports, nightlife, and golf. In addition to the new flights, JetBlue is also expanding its existing service to Santo Domingo and Santiago, offering more flights and greater connectivity to these cities.
