Boston’s #1 Airline to Serve New York’s
LaGuardia Airport with Up to 10 Daily Flights
Customer-Favorite Carrier to Expand
Award-Winning Service and Low Fares on Flights from Boston to
Austin, Texas and Other Top Markets
JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU), the top airline in Boston, today
announced its momentum in New England will continue in 2020 with
more flights being added on a number of top performing routes at
Logan International Airport (BOS). JetBlue – which already carries
more customers to more nonstop destinations and operates more
flights than any other airline in Boston – is on track to
strengthen its leadership position in the market and advance its
targeted plan to build out the airline’s Boston focus city
strategy.
L-G-A Ten Times per Day
In spring 2020, JetBlue will expand nonstop service between
Boston and New York City’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA) by offering up
to ten daily roundtrips on this key business route. Flights will be
operated using the airline’s Embraer 190 aircraft, which features
comfortable two-by-two seating with the most legroom in coach (a);
36 channels of free, live DIRECTV® programming on personal seatback
televisions; free Fly-Fi high-speed wireless internet (b); as well
as complimentary and unlimited name-brand snacks and soft
drinks.
New, expanded service between Boston and LaGuardia will
complement JetBlue’s additional service from Boston to both New
York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Newark
Liberty International Airport (EWR) and result in up to 22 daily
flights to New York’s three major metropolitan airports from
Logan.
“JetBlue continues to grow as we attract more and more customers
on the important route between Boston and New York with our low
fares and award-winning service,” said Scott Laurence, head of
revenue and planning, JetBlue. “This momentum continues throughout
our Boston network as we add more flights on a variety of routes to
meet the needs of travelers looking for the best in comfort and
customer service.”
Boosting Boston to Austin
In summer 2020, JetBlue will increase flights between Boston and
Austin–Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) with up to three daily
roundtrips. The added daily flight will offer travelers a new
morning departure from the Texas capital to New England, as well as
an evening return. Together, with the two additional daily trips,
travelers will have more options than ever to choose from when
flying between the Lone Star State and Boston.
More Flights to Top Destinations
In addition to New York and Austin, JetBlue will phase in added
flights in 2020 on more than a dozen routes, coast-to-coast between
Boston and:
- Charlotte-Douglas International Airport (CLT)
- Chicago’s O'Hare International Airport (ORD)
- Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE)
- Denver International Airport (DEN)
- Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW)
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

- San Diego International Airport (SAN)
- San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
- Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC)

With JetBlue’s low fares and award-winning service on even more
daily flights between Boston and these key markets, the airline
advances its leadership position in New England and makes JetBlue’s
Boston focus city even more accessible to travelers across the U.S.
In 2020, JetBlue will offer upwards of 180 daily departures from
Boston Logan.
