JetBlue made history by launching its first-ever nonstop flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Nassau, Bahamas. The new route started on November 4, 2023, with a weekly Saturday flight, making it easier than ever for West Coast travelers to reach the beautiful islands of The Bahamas1.
For many, this flight is a game-changer. Before, travelers from Los Angeles had to make long layovers in cities like Miami or Fort Lauderdale. Now, they can fly directly to Nassau in just a few hours. The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism is excited about this new connection, as it brings more visitors to enjoy the country’s white-sand beaches, clear blue waters, and rich culture1.
JetBlue’s flight includes its famous Mint premium service, offering luxury seating and top-notch service. Even in economy class, passengers enjoy free Wi-Fi, live TV, and plenty of legroom—something JetBlue is known for5.
The Bahamas is made up of over 700 islands, but Nassau is one of the most popular. Visitors love its vibrant markets, historic sites like the Queen’s Staircase, and nearby Paradise Island, home to the famous Atlantis Resort1.
This new route also helps travelers from Asia and the Pacific, who can now connect through Los Angeles more easily. The Bahamas hopes this will bring even more international tourists to its shores1.
If you’re planning a trip, booking early is key. JetBlue often has sales, like its recent fall promotion with one-way flights as low as $393. For those who want extra comfort, private jet charters are another option, flying directly to smaller Bahamian islands like Exuma or Eleuthera2.
Whether you choose a budget-friendly JetBlue ticket or a luxury private flight, the Bahamas is now more accessible than ever from the West Coast. It’s the perfect escape for sun, sea, and relaxation.
