JetBlue has expanded its transatlantic offerings with the launch of daily, nonstop flights between New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Edinburgh Airport (EDI) in Scotland. This new route, which took off on May 22nd, 2024, marks JetBlue's fifth transatlantic destination, joining established routes to Amsterdam, London, Paris, and the recently launched summer service to Dublin.

The seasonal service caters to summer travelers, operating until September 30th, 2024. Passengers can choose between JetBlue's signature Mint® experience, offering spacious lie-flat seats and premium amenities, or the Core cabin with comfortable seating and in-flight entertainment options. This caters to both budget-conscious travelers and those seeking a luxurious travel experience.
Flights depart JFK in the evening, arriving in Edinburgh the next morning. The return leg allows for a full day in Scotland before departing Edinburgh in the afternoon and landing back in New York in the late afternoon. This schedule provides convenience for both leisure and business travelers.
The new service injects much-needed competition on the JFK-Edinburgh route, previously served only by Delta's seasonal offering. This is expected to drive down prices and potentially improve overall travel experiences for passengers flying between the two destinations. JetBlue's foray into Edinburgh strengthens its position as a major player in transatlantic travel. This expansion not only broadens travel options for passengers but also signifies the airline's commitment to providing its signature low fares and quality service across the Atlantic.
