Santo Domingo.- JetBlue Airways on June 19 plans to launch year-round nonstop service between Boston and the capital of the Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo. Service will begin with one flight per day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays and may increase in frequency during the peak winter season, newspaper Boston.com reports.

It said Santo Domingo will be the carrier's 31st nonstop destination from Logan International Airport. “The airline, which plans to announce the new service today, tested the route for three weeks around Christmas, its first time gauging passenger demand on any route with a temporary holiday shuttle.”

"The Christmas period is the peak of peaks for airlines," said spokesman Sebastian White quoted by bonston.com. "We saw a lot of traffic going to the Dominican Republic, but not enough to support a daily flight all year long."

It adds that the new service is awaiting approval from the Dominican Republic's government. JetBlue, which offers the most nonstop destinations from Logan, already flies from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York to three Dominican cities: Puerto Plata, Santiago, and Santo Domingo.

Great airline, good rates, excellent service. I wish they had Miami to Santo Domingo route as well.
Or maybe they can stop in from Boston or NYC in Miami en route to SDQ.
That would be swell.

Thanks
