Paris is always a good idea, especially when a round-trip ticket isn't exorbitantly expensive.
JetBlue's recently announced nonstop route between New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) ushered in plenty of anticipation, and tickets are finally available for the June flights.
Service to Paris will begin Thursday, June 29, 2023. And to celebrate JetBlue's New York-Paris launch, limited roundtrip fares at $1,899 in Mint® and $479 in Core are available. Daily service will depart at 5:09 p.m. from NYC and land in Paris at 6:55 a.m. Westbound, JetBlue flights depart Paris at 8:55 a.m. and land in NYC at 11:51 a.m. The times are ideal to make the most out of a short trip across the pond and make it back to the office in New York by lunchtime.
This new route marks the airline’s second transatlantic route (the first is to London Gatwick) and its first route to continental Europe. JetBlue aims to "disrupt high-fare legacy carriers that have dominated this route for decades," according to a news release.
“Our successful London service proves customers can book low fares without compromising great service,” said Robin Hayes, chief executive officer, JetBlue. “We are excited to continue disrupting the transatlantic market and offer business and leisure customers traveling to and from Paris an opportunity to experience our highly acclaimed Mint and core products in a market that has suffered from high fares by legacy carriers for far too long.”
JetBlue's Mint premium experience was reimagined for transatlantic flying with 24 fully lie-flat private suites with a sliding door, plus two Mint Studio® seats, and custom-designed seat cushions developed by mattress company Tuft & Needle. The core experience was also reinvented with just 114 core seats (including 24 Even More® Space Seats), to offer customers a boutique-style experience no matter where they sit. And with gourmet menus for food service at all seats, you know it's going to be a comfy and delicious flight.
