JetAmerica to debut at Newark with airfares from $9

JetAmerica will start flying from Newark Airport with one-way base fares from $9 to Toledo, Ohio; South Bend, Ind.; Lansing, Mich.; and Melbourne-Vero Beach, Fla., USA Today reports.

The new airline will start service July 13 with Boeing 737s and the $9 fares will be available for the first nine customers on each flight through Oct. 31, according to TravelZoo. After that, fares range from $29 to $59.

Restrictions apply and as USA Today notes: “Passengers will pay extra to check bags or have a soft drink.” For example, the $18 round-trip ticket to Toledo is actually $49.20 once fees and taxes are includes. Plus it’s an extra $10 per segment if you’d like a reserved seat, and the checked-bag fee is $20.

USA Today also points out that JetAmerica is not, techinically, an airline but a public charter company since it’s contracting with Miami Air International to provide and operate the aircraft.
