Few days ago, in the Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport in the world-known Guanacaste province arrived the first JetBlue flight with its Mint service from New York. Although this connection already existed, the modality of the new flight is one of the novelties in arrivals to Liberia, since the flight is one of the most exclusive internationally.
With this launch, Liberia became the first city in which JetBlue offers its exclusive Mint service in Latin America. In addition, JetBlue will be the only airline that will operate flights with fully reclining seats between Costa Rica and the United States.
The JetBlue flights from John F. Kennedy International Airport will arrive every Saturday at 2:49 pm to Liberia during high season with the aim of giving a premium service to all incoming and outgoing tourists who vacation from the Big Apple and its connections to Liberia.
