US airline JetBlue is rapidly expanding its transatlantic flying. It now has five daily flights to London and over the summer launched flights to Paris and Amsterdam.
Next summer, JetBlue will operate 13 daily flights across the Atlantic with the addition of three seasonal routes to Dublin and Edinburgh.
Edinburgh will get a daily service to New York whilst Dublin will have daily flights to New York and Boston.
JetBlue has an attractive business class product called ‘Mint’ on these services, which we’ve reviewed here. Note that the airline uses single-aisle A321 and A321LR aircraft, so you get 1×1 seating in Business and 3×3 in Economy.
Flight times are as follows:
Edinburgh – New York
JetBlue flights to Edinburgh will start on 22nd May 2024 and operate the following schedule:
- B672 departs Edinburgh at 12:30pm and arrives in New York JFK at 3:15pm
- B673 departs New York JFK at 10:15pm and arrives in Edinburgh at 10:25am the following day
Dublin – New York
Flights to Dublin will start on 13th March 2024 and operate the following schedule:
- B6842 departs Dublin at 11:45am and arrives in New York JFK at 3:25pm

Dublin – Boston
Flights from Boston to Dublin will start on 13th March 2024 and operate the following schedule:
- B6354 departs Dublin at 11:30am and arrives in Boston at 2:45pm
- B6353 departs Boston at 10:30pm and arrives in Dublin at 8:45am the following day
Whilst less relevant to our UK readership, Paris to Boston will launch on 3rd April 2024. The existing Paris to New York JFK service will also go double-daily from 20th June 2024.
All flights are seasonal and will end on 30th September.
JetBlue and Aer Lingus have an established codeshare agreement, so the two Dublin flights will open up many more destinations across Europe with a single connection.
Tickets are now available and bookable on the JetBlue website here.
Can you earn Avios on JetBlue flights?
Yes you can. Whilst JetBlue isn’t a British Airways Executive Club partner, it IS a Qatar Airways Privilege Club partner.
You can open a Qatar Airways Privilege Club account on the Qatar Airways website, credit your JetBlue flight to the account and then transfer the Avios to your British Airways account. You won’t earn BA tier points, however.

Can you spend Avios on JetBlue flights?
Not at the moment 🙂
