JetBlue Adds Vero Beach (VRB) With New Daily Flights From New York (JFK) And Boston (BOS)
JetBlue has quietly made Florida’s Treasure Coast a lot easier to reach from the Northeast.
As of December 11, 2025, Vero Beach Regional Airport (VRB) is now part of JetBlue’s Florida map, with daily nonstop service launching from New York–John F. Kennedy (JFK) and Boston Logan (BOS). For travelers who know the friction of Florida’s larger gateways—long walks, long waits, and long drives—VRB is the opposite: a smaller airfield that puts you close to Vero Beach, Indian River County, and the broader Treasure Coast with minimal fuss.
JetBlue is also using the launch to underline its scale in the Northeast–Florida corridor. With VRB added, the airline says it now serves ten Florida cities from BOS and nine from JFK, more than any other carrier from either airport.
Why Vero Beach (VRB) Is A Notable Addition
Vero Beach Regional (VRB) isn’t built like a mega-hub, and that’s the point. The airport is Part 139 certificated (the U.S. standard for commercial service airports) and has a longest runway of 7,314 feet, which is ample for JetBlue’s narrowbody operations while still preserving the “easy-in/easy-out” experience travelers want on leisure trips.
For the Treasure Coast, VRB’s value proposition is simple:
-
Less ground congestion than the major South Florida gateways
-
Shorter drive times to beach communities and resorts along the coast
-
A practical alternative to flying into larger airports and backtracking by car
It’s the kind of airport that can turn a Florida trip from an all-day travel event into a straightforward morning departure and afternoon arrival.
The Schedules: Daily JFK–VRB And BOS–VRB
JetBlue is launching VRB with schedules that are easy to remember and easy to connect around.

Aircraft Assignment: A220 From Boston, A320 From New York
JetBlue is splitting aircraft types by gateway, and the choices make sense.
Boston (BOS) – Vero Beach (VRB): Airbus A220-300
The Airbus A220-300 is JetBlue’s right-sized jet for thinner leisure markets and longer stage lengths where efficiency matters. JetBlue’s A220s are configured with 140 seats in a 2–3 layout, which reduces the number of middle seats compared with a 3–3 cabin—and the airplane is known for a more modern onboard feel, including wider economy seats than many classic narrowbodies.
Under the skin, the A220’s geared turbofan engines are a major part of the story: lower noise footprint, strong fuel efficiency, and performance that helps airlines make routes like BOS–VRB work with the right economics.
New York (JFK) – Vero Beach (VRB): Airbus A320
From JFK, JetBlue is deploying the Airbus A320, a proven fleet staple that gives the airline solid capacity and operational flexibility. JetBlue’s A320s are commonly configured around 162 seats in a familiar 3–3 layout, and the type is well suited to high-volume day-in/day-out flying from a slot- and flow-constrained airport like JFK.
In other words: the A220 is the precision tool, while the A320 is the workhorse.
The Onboard Product: Consistency Matters On Leisure Flying
JetBlue is leaning on the same fundamentals that keep it competitive in Florida-heavy markets:
-
Fast, free Fly-Fi on JetBlue-operated flights (coverage can vary by aircraft)
-
Seatback entertainment at every seat
-
Complimentary snacks and drinks
On routes like JFK–VRB and BOS–VRB, that consistency is part of the sales pitch. Travelers aren’t just choosing a destination—they’re choosing an airline experience that won’t feel stripped down the moment they board.
Florida Momentum: VRB Is One Piece Of A Much Bigger Push
VRB is arriving as JetBlue continues a broader Florida build. The carrier recently launched Daytona Beach (DAB) flying from both JFK and BOS, and it has been adding routes across its Fort Lauderdale (FLL) focus city. Still to come this month: new flying from Tampa (TPA) to Punta Cana (PUJ) and Islip (ISP), plus Fort Myers (RSW) to Islip (ISP).
Looking into early 2026, JetBlue’s next Florida debut is already on the calendar: Destin–Fort Walton Beach (VPS) begins in March 2026, giving the airline another leisure-heavy Florida market with strong seasonal appeal.
Bottom Line
JetBlue’s new daily service to Vero Beach (VRB) from New York (JFK) and Boston (BOS) gives Florida’s Treasure Coast a meaningful nonstop upgrade—one that pairs a smaller, easier airport with schedules designed for straightforward leisure travel. With A220 service from BOS and A320 flying from JFK, JetBlue is tailoring capacity to each gateway while continuing its wider Florida expansion into 2026.
