JetBlue Airways offered cheap airfares to its customers starting as low as $139* one way to celebrate the launch of the New York JFK-Curacao route. The cheap tickets will be valid for travel starting from December 2, 2014 until February 10, 2015.

The airline will be deploying a 150-seater Airbus A320 aircraft to operate flights between Curacao and New York JFK. The customers traveling on the route will be provided various amenities and services such as more legroom, seatback TVs for in-flight entertainment, complimentary meals and snacks, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, first-checked bag free, and comfortable seating.
