JetBlue adds special airline route for Steelers fans

— -- JetBlue will add special nonstop service between Pittsburgh and Tampa to accommodate Pittsburgh Steelers fans hoping to travel to Super Bowl XLIII on Feb. 1.

The carrier will fly one southbound nonstop flight between cities on both Jan. 29 and Jan. 30.

JetBlue will fly two northbound nonstop flights on the route on Feb. 2, the day after the Super Bowl pits the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Arizona Cardinals.

The airline's "Big Game Shuttle" will feature a 150-seat Airbus A320.

This will be the first time JetBlue has offered nonstop service between Pittsburgh and Tampa. However, the airline does offer connecting Pittsburgh-Tampa service via its hub at New York?s Kennedy Airport.

JetBlue began offering flights from Pittsburgh to Boston and New York in June 2006. The airline plans to add a second daily flight between Pittsburgh and Boston in May.
