JetBlue Offers Another Nonstop Flight from Fort Lauderdale to Colombia

JetBlue Airways passengers can now book flights from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to Medellin, Colombia.

The airline launched the new route on Thursday and until June 17, customers can book fares as low as $164 one-way for travel between Sept. 5 and Nov. 7.

Destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean now make up almost one-third of JetBlue's network. Medellin will be the airline's third destination in Colombia. JetBlue also offers nonstop service between Bogota and both Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, as well as nonstop service between Cartagena and New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Overall, JetBlue will offer at least 24 weekly flights to Colombia.

"JetBlue's addition of new nonstop service between the Venice of America and the City of Flowers continues to position Greater Fort Lauderdale as a gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean for visitors whether traveling to visit friends and family, for business or meetings and conventions," said Nicki E. Grossman, president of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau.

The flight to Medellin will depart Fort Lauderdale at 4:45 p.m. and arrive at 7:07 p.m. Flights leaving Medellin to FLL will depart at 7:05 a.m. and arrive at 11:48 p.m. The flight will be operated by the airline's 150-seat Airbus A320 fleet.
