JetBlue will Begin Service from Boston to Heathrow and Gatwick This Summer

JetBlue, a low-cost American airline, will begin service from Boston to Heathrow and Gatwick this summer.

On 19th July, nonstop service between Boston Logan International Airport and Gatwick will begin, followed by Boston-Heathrow on 22nd August.

London is one of the most popular destinations among the airline’s enormous Boston client base, according to the company.

JetBlue’s chief executive, Robin Hayes, said: “Our strategy of flying to both Heathrow and Gatwick airports has been a success for us in New York, and we’ve secured slots to be able to do the same in Boston, becoming the only airline in New England offering flights to London’s two main airports.”

JetBlue’s new Airbus A321 Long Range (LR) aircraft will carry 24 refurbished Mint suites and 114 core (economy) seats on daily flights.

The A321LR, according to the airline, combines the range of a wide-body aircraft with the cost-effectiveness of a single-aisle aircraft.

From Gatwick, round-trip flights start at £349 for core and £1,449 for Mint, while from Heathrow, round-trip fares start at £399 for core and £1,499 for Mint.

JetBlue began transatlantic service with Heathrow in August 2021, followed by Gatwick in September 2021.

Gatwick’s vice-president of aviation development, Stephanie Wear, said: “JetBlue’s new service to Boston is a really exciting route to be adding to Gatwick’s expanding long-haul network, providing passengers with access to a 10th destination in North America this summer.”
