JetBlue is the latest airline carrier to offer direct non-stop flights to Ireland.
Last month (March 2024), JetBlue launched its daily summer-seasonal service from New York’s JFK International Airport and Boston Logan International Airport to Dublin Airport.
New York's hometown airline has joined a competitive market that provides direct flights to Ireland which includes legacy Irish brand Aer Lingus as well as United Airlines, Lufthansa, and American Airlines.
JetBlue will use an Airbus A321 Neo on the routes, with 16 seats in business class (branded as Mint) and 144 in economy (branded as core seats).
The flights will run until September 30, 2024, and introductory fares will start at €399 for economy seats and €1,499 for business class.

The service will operate out of Terminal 2 at Dublin Airport, giving it access to the US Customs and Border Protection facility, meaning passengers won't have to go through immigration checks when they arrive in the US.
According to JetBlue, travelers from the U.S. account for nearly 20% of all overseas tourism to Ireland, and Dublin has been among the most requested European destinations previously not served by the airline.
"JetBlue’s entrance into Dublin is set to introduce a new era of low fares and great service between Ireland and the Northeast,” said Joanna Geraghty, chief executive officer, JetBlue.
To honor the new destination, JetBlue’s seatback screens will offer a catalog of Irish entertainment, including films such as "Belfast", "Once", and "Brooklyn", and specially curated audio stories about Ireland.
