Travelers out of New Hampshire just got more options - JetBlue has officially started service at New Hampshire's Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. As of Thursday, Jan. 23, the airline will offer three domestic flights out of Manchester. The move marks JetBlue's first time operating out of New Hampshire, its 10th airport in New England.
JetBlue finally landed in Manchester on Thursday after being wooed by airport officials for a quarter century. And it was just in time for Dina Scalfani to fly to Fort Myers, Florida, to visit a lifelong friend.
A couple has filed a $1 million lawsuit against JetBlue, alleging a block of ice fell off one of the airline's planes and crashed through their roof, causing hundreds of thousands in damage.
The carrier is renaming its Even More Space seats near the front of the plane and adding perks, including priority security and early boarding.
As the first airline to accept Venmo payments, JetBlue is also the first to contend with online fraud that's common with any digital marketplace.
JetBlue launches service to Orlando, Fort Myers, and Fort Lauderdale in Florida from Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in Manchester, N.H.
Venmo payment options are available on JetBlue website, and will roll out on carrier's mobile app in coming months.
JetBlue has announced it is the first airline to accept Venmo as a payment method for online bookings. The feature is currently available on their website and is slated to roll out on their JetBlue mobile app.
"The added ability to pay with Venmo for flights on JetBlue and manage travel costs during the trip through Groups helps solve the pain points of shared expenses from the time of booking to returning home," PayPal's John Anderson, senior vice president and general manager of consumer, said in a statement.
Venmo is an easy way to pay, but credit card holders might not receive extra bonus points for the transaction.
American Airlines and JetBlue have agreed to pay a group of U.S. states nearly $2 million in legal fees after the states won a trial challenging the airlines' now-blocked U.S. Northeast partnership.
