-- Get your seats now! Logan's only nonstop service to Santiago runs December 12 to January 15* -- -- Fares start as low as US$109(a) each way* --

BOSTON, Aug. 15, 2007 (RUSHPRNEWS) -- JetBlue Airways (Nasdaq:JBLU) is expanding again in Boston with nonstop service to Santiago, Dominican Republic this winter. Logan International Airport's largest low-fare, low-cost airline will operate this convenient once-daily 'holiday shuttle' between December 12, 2007 and January 15, 2008*. Santiago will be the 27th destination served nonstop by JetBlue this winter from Boston.

JetBlue will operate the new flights -- Boston's only nonstop service to Santiago -- aboard its spacious Airbus A320 fleet, which offers travelers unrivaled amenities including comfy leather seats, the most legroom in coach, and complimentary seatback television service featuring first run movies and bonus features from FOX Inflight(tm). Affordable one-way fares start as low as US$109(a) each way between Logan and Santiago's Cibao International Airport. And did we mention you get the most legroom in coach and unlimited snacks and beverages for that incredibly low price?

"We're thrilled to be adding this new service to Santiago just in time for the holidays," said Marty St. George, JetBlue's Vice President of Network Planning. "Our Boston customers keep asking for more affordable service to the Caribbean, and we're pleased to bring it to them. With our low fares and great service, heading home or heading on holiday has never been easier or more affordable -- and now, it's even more comfortable!"

New York-based JetBlue Airways has created a new airline category based on value, service and style.
