Airline To Launch New Service Between LaGuardia And Logan, With Fares Starting At $49

JetBlue announced new service that will enhance options in the New York metropolitan area and bring Boston customers increased choices for travel to New York.

Starting on Monday, October 31, of this year, JetBlue will offer six-times weekday service between LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Logan International Airport (BOS). The airline will also offer two roundtrips on Saturdays and three roundtrips on Sundays. With the new route, JetBlue will operate flights between Boston and all three of New York City’s major airports. JetBlue says seats are available for purchase immediately with fares as low as $49 one-way.

JetBlue also announced it is expanding its presence at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), enabled by the FAA’s recent decision to ease limits on scheduled flights at ERW.

“Increased competition in the congested New York market opens the door to better service and lower fares for our hometown New York customers,” said Robin Hayes, president and chief executive officer, JetBlue. “The FAA’s decision to ease slot restrictions at Newark allows us to bring more low-fare, award-winning service to Newark, and clears the way for a long overdue alternative between LaGuardia and Boston for those who have been priced out of air travel and onto the roads and rails by high-fare legacy carriers.”

JetBlue says Flights between Logan and LaGuardia will be operated on JetBlue’s Embraer 190 aircraft, which feature the most legroom in coach and two-by-two seating. Other features to be offered are complimentary live television and 100+ channels of SiriusXM radio at every seat, unlimited name-brand snacks and soft drinks and free Fly Fi, which is JetBlue’s broadband internet.

The new flights between Logan and LaGuardia are part of JetBlue’s plan to reach and surpass 150 daily flights in Boston where it is the No. 1 airline in both flights per day and destinations served. The LaGuardia flights are among the latest key business routes for travelers in both New York and Boston and will offer customers a new travel option and JetBlue’s 62nd nonstop destination from Boston.
