JetBlue Airways has announced the launch of a second daily nonstop flight between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) in preparation for the 2024 Summer Olympics. This new service will commence on June 20, 2024, complementing the existing daily flight that began last summer. The addition aims to meet the increased travel demand anticipated during the Olympics and provide more options for passengers traveling between these two major cities [[❞]](https://news.jetblue.com/latest-news/press-release-details/2023/Say-Bonjour-to-JetBlue-Flights-from-New-York-To-Paris-On-Sale-Today/default.aspx) [[❞]](https://ir.jetblue.com/news/news-details/2024/JetBlue-Expands-Transatlantic-Service-to-Paris-With-Launch-of-Daily-Nonstop-Flight-From-Boston/default.aspx).
JetBlue’s transatlantic expansion includes flights operated by the Airbus A321 Long Range (LR) aircraft. This aircraft features 24 redesigned Mint Suite® seats, 114 core seats, and the spacious Airspace cabin interior. The A321LR, while being a single-aisle aircraft, offers the range typically associated with wide-body planes, making it a cost-effective solution for long-haul flights. The airline aims to disrupt the market with its award-winning service and competitive fares [[❞]](https://news.jetblue.com/latest-news/press-release-details/2023/Say-Bonjour-to-JetBlue-Flights-from-New-York-To-Paris-On-Sale-Today/default.aspx) [[❞]](https://www.traveldailynews.com/aviation/jetblue-expands-transatlantic-service-to-paris-with-launch-of-daily-nonstop-flight-from-boston/).
The flight schedule includes daily eastbound flights departing JFK at 5:09 PM and arriving in Paris at 6:55 AM the next day, and westbound flights leaving Paris at 8:55 AM and landing in New York at 11:51 AM. This schedule provides convenient options for both leisure and business travelers [[❞]](https://news.jetblue.com/latest-news/press-release-details/2023/Say-Bonjour-to-JetBlue-Flights-from-New-York-To-Paris-On-Sale-Today/default.aspx).
JetBlue’s expansion into Paris is part of a broader strategy to increase its presence in the transatlantic market. The airline’s Boston to Paris route, which begins on April 3, 2024, is also part of this initiative. This new route further solidifies JetBlue’s commitment to offering more choices for transatlantic travel, following the successful introduction of services to London and Amsterdam [[❞]](https://ir.jetblue.com/news/news-details/2024/JetBlue-Expands-Transatlantic-Service-to-Paris-With-Launch-of-Daily-Nonstop-Flight-From-Boston/default.aspx) [[❞]](https://www.traveldailynews.com/aviation/jetblue-expands-transatlantic-service-to-paris-with-launch-of-daily-nonstop-flight-from-boston/).
In addition to providing more flight options, JetBlue emphasizes its customer experience, offering complimentary meals, free high-speed Wi-Fi, live TV, and on-demand entertainment. The Mint premium experience includes fully lie-flat seats with sliding doors, luxurious bedding, and curated amenity kits. Core passengers also benefit from the most legroom in coach, along with enhanced dining options provided by New York-based restaurant group Dig [[❞]](https://news.jetblue.com/latest-news/press-release-details/2023/Say-Bonjour-to-JetBlue-Flights-from-New-York-To-Paris-On-Sale-Today/default.aspx) [[❞]](https://www.traveldailynews.com/aviation/jetblue-expands-transatlantic-service-to-paris-with-launch-of-daily-nonstop-flight-from-boston/).
The expansion is timely, given the upcoming Olympics, which are expected to draw a significant number of visitors to Paris. JetBlue’s competitive pricing, starting at $479 roundtrip for core seats and $1,899 for Mint seats, aims to attract budget-conscious travelers while still offering a high-quality flying experience [[❞]](https://news.jetblue.com/latest-news/press-release-details/2023/Say-Bonjour-to-JetBlue-Flights-from-New-York-To-Paris-On-Sale-Today/default.aspx).
