JetBlue Direct Flights From Boston Area Will Bring Influx of Red Sox Fans To SWFL
As if it isn't busy enough in Southwest Florida this time of year, things are about to get even more busy as JetBlue direct flights have been added to and from Massachusetts to Fort Myers at RSW. And they start now!
It's officially the snowbird season. If you haven't noticed yet, then you haven't been out on the roads. The traffic is back in full force and with Spring Training looming, it's only going to get worse.
JetBlue Direct Flights
Back in April of 2023, Jet Blue made the announcement about the addition of a new leg in and out of RSW. This new leg, which took flight yesterday (January 4th, 2024) flies between Worcester, Massachusetts (ORH) and RSW here in Fort Myers. In addition, JetBlue will also begin seasonal direct flights twice a week from RSW to ORH and in mid-February will increase to daily flights. This is of course when Southwest Florida sees an influx of travelers from the Boston area, in town for Red Sox spring training baseball at JetBlue Park off Daniels Parkway in Fort Myers. These flights will make it easier for those fans to travel south.
Robin Hayes, chief executive officer, JetBlue, had this to say, “Customers can now much more easily travel back and forth to Florida with JetBlue’s low fares and award-winning service, including with daily flights to Fort Myers during the Red Sox Spring Training.”
Red Sox Spring Training at JetBlue Park
Spring training tickets are available now. In my opinion, these are one of the hottest tickets this time of year, so if you want to check out a game, you need to act fast. The first home game this season is on Friday, February 23rd at JetBlue Park. The Boston Red Sox will take on the Northeastern Huskies at 1:05pm.
Estero Is Looking Forward To 2024 Events At Hertz Arena
It's a new year and that means a new line up of talent and entertainment is coming with events at Hertz Arena in 2024. Get ready Estero, they've got some awesome shows coming our way.
Last year will be hard to beat, especially for the country and Latin music fans in Southwest Florida.
I went to several shows at Hertz Arena in 2023. Some standouts were definitely Jason Aldean, Thomas Rhett and Old Dominion. As you can obviously tell, I am a country music fan. I'll be honest, I tend to prefer the smaller audiences at shows in venues like Hertz Arena, over stadium shows in Tampa or Miami. Concession lines aren't as long, you can get into the bathroom and there might be a small t-shirt left at the merch table when the show ends. And don't even get me started with parking lots at big shows. If you drive you'll sit for a while to exit and if you don't, finding an Uber is next to impossible.
So, what do we have to look forward to at Hertz Arena in 2024? Let's find out.
Events at Hertz Arena In 2024
Hertz Arena in 2024 has something for all ages coming up this year. Of course, we have the Florida Everblades games, which are always a local favorite in my opinion. We have musical acts, family shows like the Harlem Globetrotters and Disney On Ice, and several comedians making their way to Estero throughout the entire year. With the summer calendar pretty much bare, we can certainly expect some new show announcements in the coming months.
As always, stay tuned because we always have tickets to giveaway to most of the local shows that hit the Southwest Florida area, including events at Hertz Arena.
