There are some new changes at Norman Y. Mineta San José International Airport. Terminal B’s North Concourse, which is currently under construction, is starting look as though someday it may actually be finished.

Three airlines offer new or increased service:

Frontier Airlines now offers year-round service to Cabo San Lucas. The flights will include four-day-a-week service on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. From mid-August through mid-November, the frequency will be reduced to one non-stop on Saturdays. After mid-November, the frequency will increase again to four flights a week.

JetBlue Airways is adding a midday flight between San José and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport beginning May 1st.

Football could score big in San José if developer Lew Wolff’s plans for a new facility are realized.
