Tampa International Airport has a brand new nonstop route to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, that started on December 18th. So if you live near Tampa and are looking for a tropical vacation, you’ve got one more option, courtesy of JetBlue Airways.

Tampa International Airport just announced new nonstop flights from Tampa Bay to Punta Cana courtesy of JetBlue. The new route is already available and operates once per day, year-round. So if you’re tired of winter, you can head to a sunnier destination (because yes, even Florida gets a little dreary this time of year).
