JetBlue announced Wednesday that it will launch a new daily Mint business-class service between Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and San Diego International Airport beginning November 19th, 2026. Outbound flights depart Fort Lauderdale at 7:00 a.m., arriving in San Diego at 9:39 a.m.; the return leg departs San Diego at 11:00 a.m. The route will be the only business-class option between Fort Lauderdale and San Diego. TrueBlue members who book before June 21st can earn 2,500 bonus points on the route.
The addition expands SAN's premium cabin connectivity on a corridor that previously required connections or economy-only service, and it positions JetBlue's Mint product in direct competition with front-cabin offerings from American and United on the Southern California–South Florida market.
San Diego County's housing market, meanwhile, has essentially flatlined. The countywide median has held near $900,000 for roughly twelve to thirteen consecutive months, in a market characterized by limited inventory, elevated prices, and transaction volume that has neither corrected sharply nor recovered meaningfully.
On the cultural calendar, the San Diego County Fair is hosting a Juneteenth Festival today on the Chevrolet Paddock Stage at Del Mar Fairgrounds from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., featuring the Lenard 'Fuzzy' Rankin Blues Band, Elliot Lawrence, WorldBeat African Drummers and Dancers, and ERRRVERYBODi Line Dancers. The fair runs through July 5th, daily except Mondays and Tuesdays, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Construction is also actively underway on Santee's $26.8 million, 12,500-square-foot community center at 101 Riverwalk Drive, with Barnhart-Reese Construction as the contractor.
