“The success of our transatlantic service proves customers don’t have to choose between great service and low fares and can have them both with our award-winning Mint and core products,” JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes said. “Our summer seasonal service to Dublin and Edinburgh will bring a new level of service and affordable fares to these markets that have been dominated by high-fare legacy carriers for decades.”
Virtuoso Vice President of global public relations Misty Belles says ‘demand is so strong’ for European travel ahead of a new travel visa policy next year.
Meanwhile, the company said it would also begin offering service between Logan International and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport beginning on April 3, 2024, with a second daily flight to Paris from New York’s JFK beginning June 20, 2024.
