JetBlue Launching Paris Flights In Summer 2023

The airline launched flights using the A321LRs. The airline has only flown to London. Paris is the next destination for the airline in Europe.

JetBlue adding Boston and New York to Paris flights

As of now, there are no details on the plans to add flights to Paris Charles de Gaulle.

• JetBlue flight will fly from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG) as of the summer of 2023
• JetBlue will “later” add flights from Boston (BOS) to Paris (CDG)

There will be seats available in the coming months. Paris is the largest European destination not currently served by JetBlue.

This expansion is described by the CEO of the company.

“JetBlue is offering something completely unique to what you get from the big global legacy airlines on these routes – where a single high-fare joint venture operates nearly three-quarters of the flying. The response to our London service is proof that combining great service with low fares works. We can’t wait to bring our reimagined Mint and core offerings to Continental Europe’s most visited city.”

Basics of JetBlue’s Airbus A321LRs

The growth of the airline in Europe is made possible by its fleet. The current longest range version of the A321 is the A321XLR. Currently, the airline has seven of these in its fleet.

These planes are used for missions on the other side of the world. There are a total of 136 seats in the A321LRCs. The seats are spread across 12 rows.

Business class seats in the Mint Suites are the standard ones. Each has a privacy door and they are all flat.

The seats in the first row have more room than the two seats in Mint Studios. A buddy seat feature allows you to have someone else join you on the plane.

24 of the economy class seats are even more space.

There is a soft product in all cabins. All passengers have access to free wi-fi, as well as personal TVs and live TV.

I reviewed the Mint Suite and the Mint Studio.

My take on JetBlue’s expansion to Paris

I love flying with JetBlue and they have an impact on the competition. legacy carriers are focused on being all things to all people while ultra low cost carriers are focused on price. The airline has more legroom than any other US airline and has free wi-fi.

Business class fares in premium domestic markets have probably been brought down by the introduction of JetBlue's Mint.

The airline has struggled with schedule reliability and isn't the most profitable one. It is great to see JetBlue add more services.

• This will be some major competition for La Compagnie, the all-business class airline flying between Newark and Paris
• Air France and Delta otherwise dominate the New York to Paris market, so it’s nice that JetBlue can provide some more competition to that strong joint venture
• That being said, with limited frequencies, lack of connections, and no lounges, JetBlue does face an uphill battle with attracting business traffic and corporate contracts

Bottom line

As of the summer of 2023, the airline will fly to Paris. The airline will initially fly from New York. As of now, no schedule or exact launch date has been disclosed.

We knew that the airline was going to make Paris its next destination. I am excited to see the expansion of this company.

What do you think about the expansion of the airline to Paris.
