Jetblue To Myrtle Beach And/or Bermuda?

[RDUSWF]

Forbes magazine just did a tid-bit on JB vs WN and indicated that JB would be adding Myrtle Beach and/or Bermuda soon. Can anyone confirm this??

I would be very surprised if these two destinations would be added before the new "Jungle birds" arrive. It appears that there are much better opportunities in other cities.

I think what the article was trying to say was that when the EMB-190’s are put into service with JetBlue; they will look at serving markets similar like BDA and MYR. As for new cities that will be announced in the next 2 years, I think it’s safe to say that the following are on the list 7 of most likely (in no order):

1) BOS or MHT
2) RDU
3) Another Caribbean city (there are limitation because of the lack of any immigrations or FIS areas in T6. Possibly NAS)
4) SJC (red-eye)
5) PHX (red-eye)
6) Dallas or Houston
7) Chicago

Also look for changes in the LGB focus city. JetBlue currently operates the maximum amount of flights it can out of LGB, infact the reason why it had to cut service from ATL to LGB was because it was using a temporary slot from AS, which had to be given back. The short hops were only added to use the slots for the short term (they would have lost them otherwise) as JetBlue adds more of the cities listed above, they will replace short-haul flights like LGB to OAK and LGB to LAS with long-haul flights. Also look for expanded flying out of Oakland.
