Northeast Alliance Adds More Nonstop Flights in New York and Boston
JetBlue and American Airlines announced today that they are adding more nonstop destinations out of New York City and Boston. The airlines have been part of the Northeast Alliance since 2020, but the government has filed an antitrust lawsuit saying the alliance will be costly for consumers.
The two airlines are pushing ahead for now with new flights that will launch out of New York’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) in 2023.
JetBlue Additions
JetBlue just received the Editors’ Choice Award for Best Economy Class from The Points Guy (TPG). The airline also revealed big updates to its TrueBlue program. And there are also new nonstop flights coming in 2023, between LaGuardia and:
- Atlanta (ATL) – 4x daily
- Bermuda (BDA) – Once daily, summer seasonal (a)
- Hyannis, Mass. (HYA) – Once daily, summer seasonal
- Nassau, Bahamas (NAS) – Once daily (a)
In summer 2023, JetBlue will expand its premium Mint® flying with Saturday service between Newark and Aruba (AUA). The airline will also reintroduce flying between Newark and Montego Bay, Jamaica (MBJ) with once daily summer seasonal service.
In New England, JetBlue plans to expand the airline’s service in Canada with daily summer seasonal service between Boston and Vancouver, B.C. (YVR). New Vancouver flying will complement JetBlue’s service between New York-JFK and Vancouver, which first launched earlier this year also as part of growth related to the NEA.
All new JetBlue routes will go on sale in January 2023 and all new American routes go on sale this weekend.
American Airlines Additions
American is also adding six new destinations from New York with nonstop flights between LaGuardia and:
- Birmingham, Ala. (BHM) – Once daily
- Buffalo, N.Y. (BUF) – 3x daily
- Greenville, S.C. (GSP) – 2x daily
- Columbia, S.C. (CAE) – Once daily
- Grand Rapids, Mich. (GRR) – Once daily
- Knoxville, Tenn. (TYS) – Once daily
Also in New York, American will expand its summer seasonal flying between LaGuardia and Asheville, N.C, to year-round service. American will also add an additional frequency between Boston Logan International Airport and Louisville, Kentucky (SDF).
