New Routes

The carrier will begin service to Dublin, Manchester, Barcelona, Nice, and Lisbon from Boston Logan International Airport. Flights will operate on the Airbus A321LR, which JetBlue has configured for long-haul comfort with its Mint business class product.

Each route will operate four to five times weekly during peak season, with reduced frequencies in shoulder periods.

Competitive Positioning

The expansion puts JetBlue in direct competition with legacy carriers on several routes. The airline’s strategy centers on offering premium service at competitive prices, leveraging its highly-rated Mint business class to attract corporate travelers.

“These routes represent the next phase of our transatlantic growth,” said a JetBlue executive. “Boston is perfectly positioned to serve these European markets.”

Fleet Investment

JetBlue will take delivery of six additional A321LR aircraft in early 2026 to support the expansion. The airline currently operates 12 of the type on existing transatlantic routes to London and Paris.

Booking opens February 1, 2026, with introductory fares starting at $599 roundtrip in economy and $2,499 in Mint.
