10 JetBlue Flights to Florida
Read Time:38 Second
Looking at the numbers the only thing that has been a success here has been the JetBlue flights to Florida. Even though not at the best times, without alot of marketing, these flights consistently have load factors in the 90th percentile.
Now add in JetBlue commitment to focus on their roots Northeast to Florida and the fact Logan has 130 JetBlue flights per day, lets push to move 7 of their Florida routes to Worcester? Logan would not lose one passenger and would put ORH on the map to the public.
What would be a reason for Logan not to push JetBlue to do this??? More importantly we would actually have the basis of a marketing plan being Worcester as your to airport for Florida??

Agreed 100% Bill and if MassPort truly wants to double airport passenger count by 2035 this would be the time to add JetBlue flights to multiple Florida destinations.

It makes too much sense so it’s probably out of the possibility for Massport to push 10 total jetBlue flights to Worcester! Also have I mentioned before the fact that we don’t have seasonal CapeAir flights here in the second largest city in New England. It’s a waste for the state not to take better advantage of Worcester Airport.
10 Florida flights is a little too much. I think if you want each airline, this is what you need to target
JetBlue
– Add Tampa and West Palm Beach. More people are looking to travel to those places and would be extremely successful. You don’t need to go crazy with it. They’re doing the right thing in adding more flights to Orlando in peak times and Fort Lauderdale in April as well this year. Fort Myers I believe is having a couple of added flights as well possibly certain days in April.
– Change Fort Lauderdale to an early morning flight. I always say it, give the option for connections to Puerto Rico or other destinations near there PLUS, condo owners down there can get a weekend down there and fly down Saturday morning and back Sunday night.
One thing to remember with JetBlue now though is the smallest plane they have seat wise (A220) has 144 seats. That’s nearly 3x the amount of seats the smallest planes that American, Delta, United have so picking routes has to be very careful.
Delta
– Find a way to get a flight to Atlanta. LaGuardia isn’t a bad airport but any flight you want out west requires a second layover since planes out of LGA are limited to how far they can go. Just have to make sure the times don’t suck as well. Flying into Atlanta gives the option to fly anywhere and even in a smaller plane can easily work.
American
– Drop the east coast flight. It isn’t working and hasn’t been working since it started pre covid. Worcester doesn’t have a flight out west and a flight to the hub in Chicago would be great. However, the time has to be correct. A morning flight out there and evening flight back would be very good because if you take a flight from LA or Vegas between 6-8am, it’s already 12-2pm by the time you get there. You can have a flight leave Worcester at 7am and get there for 9/10am giving plenty of connections then have a 6pm flight to Worcester getting back at 9pm and you have plenty of flights and time to get back to Chicago. The only thing that would kill this idea is red eyes but it would still easily work. American has the small enough jets to try it as well. They have nothing to lose at this point.
One thing though with the airport is the parking is still limited when it’s busy. Both lots are full this week but there’s still plenty of flights going down this week that are going to be full. That needs to be fixed and addressed before they can really try expanding.
