So JetBlue's got a bigger European network than I realized for 2026. They're running 14 routes now, not just 13, which is pretty wild considering they're using narrowbody planes like the A321LR for all these transatlantic flights. Seems like Boston Logan is their main hub for Europe, with nine routes going to places like Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Milan. New York's got five, but that JFK to Amsterdam route often gets overlooked.
I think it's pretty cool how JetBlue is carving out this niche with premium services on these routes. They're not trying to be as massive as the big joint ventures, but they're definitely making a mark. London is clearly their flagship market with routes to both Gatwick and Heathrow, which is smart for covering both premium and leisure travel.
What do you guys think about JetBlue's chances of holding up against the bigger players in the transatlantic market? And do you think using narrowbodies for these long-haul routes is a good strategy or does it limit them in some ways?
