Direct Flights from New York & Boston Begin This December

Big news is landing in Vero Beach! Starting December 11, 2025, JetBlue will officially begin daily, year-round nonstop flights connecting Vero Beach Regional Airport (VRB) with both New York's JFK and Boston Logan (BOS).

This is more than just another flight option, it's a milestone moment. For years, travelers heading to and from the Northeast have had to drive hours to Orlando, West Palm, or Melbourne. Now, locals and snowbirds alike can enjoy convenient, affordable flights right here in our own backyard.

Why This is a Big Deal

Introductory Fares: To celebrate the launch, JetBlue is offering one-way fares starting at just $69 (book by August 17; blackout dates apply Dec. 18 - Jan. 5).
Growing Demand: Vero Beach Regional Airport has experienced explosive growth, with passenger numbers doubling from 86,000 in 2023 to over 177,000 in 2024. JetBlue clearly sees the demand and they're betting big on Vero.
A Boost for Tourism & Snowbirds: Seasonal residents from New York and Boston will have a much smoother journey to their winter getaway homes. At the same time, local businesses, hotels, and restaurants can expect a welcome bump in tourism traffic.
More Choices at VRB: JetBlue becomes the second commercial airline at VRB, joining Breeze Airways, giving travelers even more options close to home.

What This Means for Our Community

For full-time Vero residents, this expansion means less hassle, shorter drives, and more competitive fares. For snowbirds, it makes the trip down south simpler than ever, with direct flights connecting the Northeast to our slice of paradise. And for local businesses, it means more visitors arriving ready to enjoy everything Vero has to offer, from our beaches and shops to our restaurants and cultural events.

JetBlue's entry into the Vero Beach market is a vote of confidence in our community's future as a destination. Whether you're a year-round local or a seasonal resident, this new chapter in air travel is one to celebrate.
