JetBlue has partnered with the Brightline passenger train service in Florida to enable travelers to book air and rail together.
JetBlue says customers will be able to book Brightline tickets on JetBlue.com as part of a combined itinerary.
Brightline has stations in Miami, Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach and Orlando. The Orlando station, located at Orlando International Airport, allows for simple transfers between air and rail. In South Florida, Brightline offers shuttle service between airports and train stations, and it's bookable on JetBlue's website.
"As we continue to grow in Florida and offer more flights to and from cities like Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Orlando, our partnership with Brightline helps us deliver even more value and convenience to our customers," said Dave Jehn, JetBlue's vice president, network planning and airline partnerships.
In addition to expanding travel options for new bookings, the agreement enables JetBlue to offer alternative itineraries that incorporate Brightline rail segments during periods of irregular Florida air operations.
