JetBlue Announces Nonstop Service Boston to Palm Springs and Expanded Flying Season from New York

(Greater Palm Springs, CA) -- September 27, 2018 -- JetBlue today announced nonstop service between Boston and Palm Springs. Boston residents will be able to warm up this winter with this new seasonal service from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Palm Springs International Airport (PSP). The BOS-PSP flight service begins February 14 and continues through April 29, 2019.  The flights will be twice weekly on Thursdays and Mondays. 

The new Boston service will also benefit travelers in a number of other JetBlue cities – including Washington-DCA, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh – where travelers will benefit from new connecting options that make Palm Springs just one stop away from home.

JetBlue previously announced it will extend the flying season from New York to Greater Palm Springs through Memorial Day 2019, a month later than typically offered in previous years. This comes as the airline already prepares to launch its fourth season of service more than a month earlier than usual on October 10, 2018.  Additionally, JetBlue will operate its all-Core Airbus A321 aircraft on the New York-Palm Springs route daily during the peak of the season from February 14, 2019 through April 30, 2019. 

“Our growing relationship with JetBlue and this highly anticipated flight between Palm Springs and Boston represents JetBlue’s increased confidence in Greater Palm Springs as a destination that appeals to East Coast travelers,” said Scott White, President and CEO of the Greater Palm Springs Convention & Visitors Bureau. “We look forward to welcoming Bostonians and winter weary visitors to our destination.”

Greater Palm Springs is already expecting a record-breaking number of flights this winter, thanks to new airlines servicing PSP, new non-stop destinations, increased service and longer service periods. Travelers have more options than ever to visit Greater Palm Springs for Christmas, New Year's, and now through the spring season. The move signals increased confidence from airlines that travelers are choosing Greater Palm Springs as their top getaway, especially with more hotels, restaurants and events on the horizon.

Currently, 11 airlines fly nonstop from PSP to 21 destinations, connecting to more than 500 destinations worldwide. Since 2012, PSP has seen a 38% increase in seat capacity.
