JetBlue launching direct service from New York to St. Lucia

The Canadian Press: "NEW YORK — JetBlue will launch direct service to St. Lucia from New York later this fall.

The flights will depart from John F. Kennedy Airport three times a week, Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays, beginning Oct. 26. Roundtrip fare is as low as US$300.

The planes will land at St. Lucia's Hewanorra Airport.

The island is known for a combination of beaches, mountains and lush green forests. In the town of Soufriere, you can tour a volcanic crater where you'll find steam vents and pools of bubbling mud and coloured minerals.

The island's dry season is between December and May."

I’m happy to report that these beautiful beaches felt like an escape from the despair of this global pandemic, and here’s how they are keeping travelers safe.
