Oranjestad – October 15, 2026 -- Travelers heading from New York to Aruba can book a vacation package with up to $550 off through October 21, 2026, as JetBlue and the Aruba Tourism Authority mark 20 years of nonstop service between JFK and Aruba's Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA).

Gate celebration precedes Flight #1457 on October 15

Before JetBlue Flight #1457 departs at about 11:12 a.m. local time, passengers bound for Aruba can take photos, sign the Aruba Promise and pick up a personalized luggage tag as a keepsake.

The Aruba Promise asks travelers to see themselves as guests of the island rather than visitors. That means embracing a slower pace, considering their footprint and showing gratitude for Aruba's people, culture and natural beauty. It is backed by Aruba's Guest Guidelines, which encourage simple, responsible choices.

JetBlue now flies to Aruba from three U.S. cities

Beyond New York, JetBlue offers nonstop service to Aruba from Boston and Fort Lauderdale. Flights include free high-speed Fly-Fi®, seatback entertainment with live TV at every seat, and complimentary snacks and drinks.

Sjeidy Feliciano, Area Director North America at the Aruba Tourism Authority, said the partnership has created many meaningful connections between New York and Aruba. Stephanie Evans Greene, JetBlue's senior vice president of marketing and brand, said the airline looks forward to serving the island and its customers for years to come.
