JetBlue Shuttles

Maybe we can not get a ORH-DC route but with the JFK-DC shuttles from JetBlue, we would in essence have it with an ORH-JFK shuttle. Simply fly to JFK on a Embraer 190 from JetBlue out of ORH and connect to DC.

Story:

JetBlue Airways has announced that it will launch its own limited version of a New York shuttle out of Washington Dulles International Airport this summer with introductory fares as low as $39 each way, sharply undercutting competing carriers.

Beginning Aug. 17, JetBlue will operate six daily nonstop flights from Dulles to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, where the airline is based. The introductory fares require a 14-day advance purchase and must be bought by June 30. The tickets must be used between Aug. 17 and Sept. 30. Regular fares will be $50 to $145 each way, with one-way walk-up tickets starting at $90.

JetBlue would be a great airline for ORH. With one stop you could go to about 45 destinations and could be used by business and vacation travelers. Plus JetBlue could compete for those travelers flying from Providence and Manchester with Southwest.

I really doubt JB will come to Worcester.
