We knew that JetBlue was planning to fly to London, but until recently we didn’t know which airport they’d fly to. Now we know. As reported by UK Aviation News, JetBlue will fly from the US (both New York JFK and Boston BOS) to London Heathrow (LHR).
Personally, I think this is good news for a few reasons. When flying into London, I love the fact that the London Tube (subway) connects to London Heathrow Airport. It’s not fast, but it’s convenient. And if the new Elizabeth Line is ever completed, it should then be fast too.
Flying into Heathrow will also be good for many connecting options if your ultimate destination is far beyond England. That said, it’s not great for those seeking super cheap connections since the low cost carriers mostly fly out of other London area airports.

The last three times I flew with JetBlue from JFK or Boston to LAX, we had to stop at Albuquerque or Las Vegas to refuel because of headwinds. Do you really think I’m gonna fly with them across an ocean?
I heard that JetBlue will launch Mint cabin service from PBI-LAX in early 2021
The idea that UK Aviation News, a virtually unknown site here, got this from ‘multiple sources’ seems unlikely. It would have been more believable if they’d said ‘one source’.
