Additional Heathrow Slots Allow JetBlue to Offer Customers a More Diverse Schedule of Flying Between the U.S. and the U.K.
JetBlue today announced it is further enhancing its flying across the North Atlantic with a new daytime flight option for customers travelling from New York to London. Starting March 25, 2023, New York’s Hometown Airline® will introduce a new morning departure from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to London Heathrow Airport (LHR), giving travellers the all-new option to arrive in the United Kingdom the same day they depart the United States. The new flight is made possible through an additional pair of slots obtained by JetBlue, which further boosts the airline’s presence at the U.K.’s busiest airport. Seats for JetBlue’s new Heathrow flights are on sale starting today.

JetBlue is currently the only U.S. carrier to serve both Gatwick and Heathrow, offering customers on both sides of the Atlantic greater choice and convenience. JetBlue’s multi-airport approach in London, with diversified flying at two of the U.K.’s busiest airports, has already allowed the airline to grow a meaningful customer base of loyal transatlantic fliers and build valuable relationships with key teams at both airports.
JetBlue flights between the U.S. and London feature premium Mint suites and the airline’s award-winning core seats. JetBlue offers the most legroom in coach (a), on-demand entertainment on every seatback, free and fast Fly-Fi broadband internet (b), complimentary snacks and soft drinks, and great customer service. JetBlue’s entrance into the transatlantic has introduced a new era of customer-focused, low-fare travel for leisure and business travellers.
Customers in both core and Mint can stay connected throughout the flight, with JetBlue being the only airline to offer all travellers unlimited, free high-speed wi-fi on flights between the U.S. and the U.K. Additionally, customers have access to a curated selection of seatback entertainment, allowing customers to have a multiple screen experience onboard – just like they do at home.

Very disappointed in JB’s Mint product. Can’t stand that the seats face toward the aisle. VA tried this, but dropped it after passenger complaints. Until JB does the same thing, I will avoid them at all cost. Horrible decision and product and their narrow body fleet does not compare well to their competitors.
