On the same day, JetBlue will also kick off daily seasonal
flights between Boston Logan and Edinburgh Airport (EDI) in
Scotland. This new route will join JetBlue’s popular summer
seasonal service between New York’s JFK Airport and Edinburgh,
giving travelers even more ways to experience the charm of
Scotland's historic capital. Both routes, along with all of
JetBlue’s European destinations, are now available for booking.
“Madrid and Edinburgh represent two of Europe’s most exciting
and popular destinations, and we’re happy to offer even more
transatlantic travel options for our customers from Boston and New
England,” said Daniel Shurz, head of revenue, network and
enterprise planning at JetBlue. “Europe continues to be part of our
network strategy, as our loyal customers look for JetBlue's
signature service and low fares to bring them to top leisure
destinations, including across the Atlantic."
Since its entrance into the European market over three years
ago, JetBlue’s reputation has quickly grown as the airline of
choice for affordable, customer-focused, and premium transatlantic
travel.
Optimizing JetBlue’s European Service with JetForward
JetBlue's new Boston flights to Madrid and Edinburgh support its
JetForward strategy to build the best East Coast leisure network
and return to sustained profitability. Edinburgh and Madrid will
join JetBlue’s existing transatlantic seasonal service from Boston
to Amsterdam, Dublin, and London-Gatwick, and year-round flights to
London-Heathrow and Paris. In summer 2025, JetBlue will offer 7
daily nonstops from Boston to Europe.
From New York-JFK, JetBlue serves Dublin and Edinburgh
seasonally, while Amsterdam, London-Heathrow, and Paris are served
year-round. Based on their popularity, returning routes to Dublin
and Edinburgh have been extended this year to the end of October, a
month later than the previous year.
“Since launching flights to London in 2021, we’ve thoughtfully
adjusted our European service to maximize value for our customers
and our business,” said Shurz. “By aligning our schedule with peak
seasonal demand and flying our aircraft to other destinations in
the off-season, we’re capitalizing from a business perspective
while delivering the destinations and experiences our customers
love. This approach is driving meaningful results.”
Customers across JetBlue’s network can connect through Boston
and New York as gateways to their next European adventure or, via
Europe, both focus cities serve as a gateway to JetBlue’s many
destinations throughout the United States, Canada, the Caribbean
and Latin America.

Madrid: Culture and Cuisine - ¡Qué Guay! (How cool!)
Madrid is a city that never sleeps and provides travelers with
endless cultural and gastronomical offerings. Visitors fall in love
with its energy, from the historic streets in the city center to
the modern style of Gran Vía. It’s a foodie paradise, whether
you’re having tapas in La Latina, sipping sangria in a century-old
taberna or indulging in chocolate-dipped churros.
Art enthusiasts flock to the world-famous Prado Museum, while
sports fans cheer on legendary soccer teams. And when the sun sets,
Madrid’s nightlife lights up with rooftop bars, flamenco shows, and
bustling plazas. It’s no wonder travelers keep coming back for a
dose of Spain’s vibrant capital.
Edinburgh: ‘Bonny’ in the Summer, Brimming with History
Many visitors to Edinburgh agree, it is a city directly out of a
storybook, where medieval charm meets modern comforts. The city, a
gateway to the Scottish Highlands, features cobblestone streets,
the iconic Edinburgh Castle perched high on its rocky throne, and
the mysterious allure of the historic Royal Mile. It is a paradise
for festival lovers, with JetBlue being a proud recent sponsor of
the world-famous Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Whisky enjoyers can toast to the city’s rich distilling
heritage, while nature seekers are rewarded with awesome views from
Arthur’s Seat. That’s not to mention world-class golf courses, in
the country where the sport was born. From its literary history to
its cozy pubs, Edinburgh is a magical blend of culture, adventure,
and a wee bit of Scottish charm.
