About JetBlue
JetBlue Airways is a US airline headquartered in Long Island City, New York. It began flying on 11 February 2000 and has grown into one of the largest carriers on the US East Coast, with around 300 Airbus aircraft serving more than 100 destinations in the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America, and Europe.
Its six focus cities are New York–JFK, Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, San Juan and Los Angeles. JetBlue is known for free Wi-Fi and seatback entertainment, and for Mint, its premium cabin with lie-flat seats on transcontinental, Caribbean and transatlantic routes.
In 2025 JetBlue and United Airlines launched Blue Sky, a partnership that lets each airline sell the other's flights and gives members of both loyalty programs reciprocal benefits. JetBlue is not part of a global alliance.
Schedules, aircraft assignments, terminals and fare rules can change. Confirm operational details directly with JetBlue before travel.
