BOS to FLL Fare Range: What greenspicks Actually Found
Our editorial team checked Boston to Fort Lauderdale fares via Travelpayouts on June 20, 2026. The search returned five individual fare observations for July 2026 travel dates. These are cached snapshots from different departure dates, not a controlled price comparison between airlines.
Here is what the data showed for BOS-FLL one-way fares:
- $112 on JetBlue — departing July 15, 2026, with 1 stop, 632 minutes total travel time
- $113 on JetBlue — departing July 14, 2026, with 1 stop, 714 minutes total travel time
- $129 on Frontier — departing July 3, 2026, with 1 stop, 763 minutes total travel time
- $139 on JetBlue — departing July 2, 2026, nonstop, 205 minutes total travel time
- $147 on Frontier — departing July 9, 2026, with 1 stop, 770 minutes total travel time
Each fare represents a different travel date. The price differences reflect departure timing, connection routing, and inventory at the moment of search. Do not interpret this as a ranking of which airline is cheaper overall.
Key finding:
The $112 lowest observed fare came with a 632-minute total travel time, indicating a long layover. Budget-focused travelers should weigh the time cost before assuming the cheapest fare is the best value.
All fares shown are one-way. Prices will vary based on your specific travel dates and how far in advance you search.
Nonstop vs Connecting Flights: The Real Tradeoff
The BOS to FLL route offers both nonstop and connecting itineraries. The fare data greenspicks observed on June 20, 2026 illustrates the price-time tradeoff clearly.
The JetBlue nonstop observed for July 2, 2026 was priced at $139 with a flight time of 205 minutes (about 3 hours 25 minutes). The cheapest connecting fare observed was $112 on JetBlue for July 15, 2026, but that itinerary ran 632 minutes total (roughly 10.5 hours door-to-door).
That $27 savings costs approximately 7 extra hours of travel time. For some travelers, the time cost outweighs the fare savings. Others with flexible schedules may prefer the lower price.
The Frontier connecting fare observed at $129 for July 3, 2026 had an even longer duration of 763 minutes. When evaluating connecting flights, always check the total travel time before booking.
Key finding:
The $27 difference between the $112 connecting fare and $139 nonstop translates to roughly $4 per hour saved. Decide based on your own time value.
Airlines Flying Boston to Fort Lauderdale

For current baggage policies and fees, check directly with JetBlue and Frontier official websites before booking.
Nearby Airport Alternative: Miami (MIA) Option
Miami International Airport (MIA) sits approximately 30 miles south of Fort Lauderdale. For travelers heading to the broader South Florida area, comparing BOS-MIA fares alongside BOS-FLL can reveal additional options.
Our editorial team reviewed Boston to Miami fares on June 20, 2026 and found individual observations across July and August 2026 travel dates:
- $82 on American Airlines — departing August 19, 2026, nonstop, 220 minutes
- $126 on Frontier — departing July 1, 2026, with 1 stop, 469 minutes
- $138 on American Airlines — departing July 3, 2026, nonstop, 220 minutes
The $82 American Airlines fare was observed for August travel, while the $138 nonstop was for early July. These are different travel dates and should not be read as MIA being consistently cheaper than FLL.
If your final destination is Fort Lauderdale, factor in ground transportation costs and time from MIA. If you are flexible on which airport you use, searching both routes can surface lower fares for certain dates.
