New JetBlue Flights Between Boston and London’s Gatwick Airport
JetBlue has finally launched its much awaited service from Boston’s Logan International Airport (BOS) to London’s Gatwick Airport (LGW). London was the largest nonstop market not currently served by JetBlue from Boston and is among the most requested destinations.
Last year, JetBlue launched its first-ever transatlantic service from New York-JFK to both Heathrow and Gatwick, London’s largest and busiest airports. The carrier plans to grow its transatlantic presence this year with new service from Boston Logan to London’s Heathrow Airport, launching September 20, 2022, and an additional Gatwick departure from New York starting October 29, 2022.
Between JetBlue’s New York and Boston focus cities, the airline will offer five daily flights between the U.S. and the U.K. by October.
“Our London service from New York has been an incredible success and we are thrilled to finally bring this highly anticipated service to our Boston customers, a route that has long suffered from high fares by legacy carriers,” said Robin Hayes, chief executive officer, JetBlue. “As Boston’s largest carrier, adding this nonstop service to Gatwick will only make us more relevant in our New England focus city and introduce JetBlue to a largely unserved market.”
Gatwick is the second busiest U.K. airport and JetBlue operates from the North Terminal, which has a range of passenger facilities, including a wide variety of shops and restaurants. Gatwick travelers benefit from a choice of convenient transport options including direct train links to Central London’s Victoria Station via the Gatwick Express and to stations across London via Thameslink and to Brighton and other South East coastal communities via Southern Railway.
JetBlue offers an enhanced experience at Gatwick with expedited security screening available to select customers. JetBlue’s Even More Speed option is now automatically included for Mint customers, TrueBlue Mosaic customers and Mosaic companions traveling on the same reservation. Travelers at Gatwick should follow signs for “Premium Security.”
Prices vary based on your travel dates. For main cabin you should be able to find fares just over $500 round-trip. If you’re looking at Mint, then you will have to pay around $4,000.
