PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — JetBlue Airways will add two new international routes from its Fort Lauderdale focus city this June to Cancun, Mexico, and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, subject to receipt of government operating authority. The customer-friendly airline will offer daily nonstop service to both cities beginning June 18, with low fares starting at just $71 each way to Cancun and $99 each way to Santo Domingo. Every JetBlue fare comes packed with friendly customer service, unlimited free snacks and drinks, seatback entertainment options, and the most legroom in coach of any U.S. airline.
