Great news for flying in and out of Key West.

One of the leading discount airlines, jetBlue, has begun a “code share” with Silver Airways, a Florida-based airline with daily flights within the state and to the Bahamas.

What this means is HUGE: you can now go to the jetBlue website and book a ticket to and from Key West. Silver Airways will handle the Key West leg of the flight.

This opens up discount airfare for Key West – something needed since the departure of Southwest Airlines. And it should help drive down airfare on the competing airlines including American, United, Delta, US Airways. Already we are seeing nice savings.

Below are a couple jetBlue flights that are better priced than the competition:
