As part of the merger between American and US Airways, the new American had to give JetBlue some of their landing/takeoff slots at DCA. JetBlue is using those slots to launch service to Hartford, Charleston, and Nassau, Bahamas. Service for these cities start June 19th!

So yeah, you can do a Summer getaway at $128! We like cheap Summer getaways!

What is the Shorthaul? It is our irregular feature of deals under $200 and 3,000 miles roundtrip.
