JetBlue is set to kick off a brand-new route to St Croix in the US Virgin Islands, Caribbean Journal has learned. It’s the newest way to get to the culinary capital of the US Virgin Islands, which is hotter than ever thanks to a renewed tourism branding push and a buzzing gastronomic movement. 

The new service is set to launch on Dec. 12, 2024, JetBlue confirmed. Flights will be operating every day of the week. 

So what else do you need to know about the low-cost-carrier’s new route?
