Thanks for the replies. Though I'd made a discovery there. Oh well.

Booking engine just went offline...

You've been able to book LHR for awhile on jetBlue's website, because I believe it's offered by one of their partner airlines. Same with HNL, obviously operated by Hawaiian.
You have to click on "Browse by Region", and when you click on Europe, you'll see the little gray triangle next to the destination, signifying it's a partner airline.

Who knows, maybe by tomorrow those little triangles will be gone...

These are AerLingus codeshare flights. Maybe this is the big announcements. You can search for flights on 01/01/2019 to 01/08/2019.

Interesting. The "jet" in jetBlue is gray on that picture, which went away with the logo change years ago. There's been a big push to remove that logo from everything at JetBlue, so the fact that it would make it into a pin announcing London is surprising.

The pin is legit, but damn employees can’t keep anything to themselves lol.

If it's legit why would they use the old JetBlue logo? Big oversight?

That I’m not sure of. I also here there is some validity to this Thomas Cook thing. Tomorrow there should be a press release.

Gatwick isn't inconvenient for London - to get to Victoria you have the choice of either the slower Southern train or the Gatwick Express, or the Thameslink service to London Bridge or Kings Cross. The issue arises when there is engineering work and there is no alternative!

Recently I've found Gatwick more convenient because Victoria is generally better placed for where I am going than Paddington. It's not an absolute, but LGW definitely okay for business.

Or the Thomas Cook tie up is real as the font for them is gray as is the tail. Maybe B6 reverting back to gray/blue as a blended carrier?

Totally agree. As a former frequent visitor to London and ultimately a resident, I often chose Gatwick.

What the heck are you people on about? It’s the standard JetBlue logo and the pin is designed as the tube signage...

Stop with this Midwest stuff. B6 is going to add BOS flights to Midwest in future. B6 does not have HUBS. They have focus cities and run point to point service. They’ve said bos-cmh/cvg but not this year. Pilots have said they hear B6 made an aquarium of another airline...guess will know in a couple of days

Since when did B6 start going point-to-point outside of BOS, JFK/LGA or FLL? Because B6's definition of point-to-point seems to be to make BOS or JFK one of the "points" if you're going from, say, PIT to MCO.

B6 is nothing more than a niche airline that caters to BOS and NYC, and maybe FLL. That's it. That's the list. B6 is pretty much useless outside of the Northeast.

Just like AS is pretty much useless west of the Rockies.

The JetBlue logo is now all blue and has been for years. The old jetblue logo was a gray “jet” and blue “blue.” The company makes a big deal about work groups using the proper logo and removing the old logos from any remaining documents and work areas or public places. They send an email out about it every so often. The button in this leaked image clearly has the old “jetblue” gray/blue logo, which, for a big event like this would be a massive oversight, an intentional move for some reason, or a bad photoshop job.

They're talking about the "Jet" in JetBlue being gray. Hard to tell if it is/isn't in that pic.

Article from CNBC on looming announcement:

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/09/jetblue ... antic.html

Got a leaked schedule
B6331/322 BOS. 450. 650
Not sure how to read that
Looks like 3 BOS and 2 jfk

I dont have a timeline

Looks like the request for the slots from a few months ago at LHR - 0450 arrival and 0650 departure.

So around a 5:50 P.M. departure from BOS and 8:30 A.M. arrival into BOS?

Yep.

Flight #331 BOS-LHR Arriving 0450
Flight #332 LHR-BOS Departing 0650

Will that 0650 departure be the first TATL flight of the day out of LHR?

That doesn't make much sense in light of the curfew between 2330 and 0600 which limits LHR to roughly 16 daily operations between those hours.

AA has pulled down JFK and BOS enough for the most part to allow jetBlue to join OneWorld as a connect member allowing jetBlue to sell flights on AA and BA metal across the pond and allow AA and BA to connect out of JFK and BOS,

That would be interesting. Or if AA goes full in and buys jetBlue to kill a competitor.

I don't think B6 has any interest in joining OW or any other alliance. And no way AA can afford B6 with the amount of debt they have, nor would that be approved imo.

DOH.... yes HE (me) meant east of the Rockies. Damn type o’s! Thanks for the catch on that.


Yes sorry for the confusion everyone on that. I was likening someone’s comment about B6 being worthless anywhere outside of the Northeast and Florida to the same to be said comparably of AS “east of the Rockies”.

Don't know where you got that, but B6331 is JetBlue's Punta Cana to San Juan flight.

All this for one daily flight between Boston and Heathrow?
So we can expect Chapter 11 around Autumn then if that’s the case

06:50 is way too early for a transatlantic departure from London.

I’ve taken flights at around 8-9am and it’s terrible for jet lag on arrival.

Its future flights and not sure how to read it. The flight numbers are different . So they are going to announce flights to London from JFK/BOS/FLL/MCO

LHR - MCO is one of the top unserved UK-US pairs, right? If this happens it will be great!

But LON-MCO has masses of service, just not from LHR. For an airline with codeshare or alliance partners able to offer onward connections, LHR is the ideal. For an airline that isn't in an alliance, LHR is as much a status symbol as anything, as LGW or STN can handle O&D traffic adequately and cheaper. If there was such a huge unfilled demand for this airport pair (not even city pair) surely BA or VS (or in earlier days BD) would have tried it by now - but there were always better-yielding things to do with the slots, Not to say JetBlue won't succeed if this indeed what they announce, but whether they will make as much money as they hope, after obtaining slots at LHR and paying the higher airport charges applicable there is arguable.

LHR-MCO? With what equipment? That's about 4300 NM.

How would they get an 0450 slot into LHR? There are only 16 slots available before 0600 so are gold plated. It cost Oman Air squillions to get one a couple of years ago

AusBT are reporting on this event this evening (here in Australia) that it will be flights to London with a Mint 2.0 that is all single seat Thomson Vantage Solo's.

And yet Virgin flies 5 daily 747s to MCO from LGW. LHR isn't the only airport in London, and in some cases LGW can be better for pax. Anyway the A321LR can't make LON-MCO non-stop without significant restrictions so this is all fictional talk.

Mint heavy service from NYC/BOS to LON/PAR

Can't see them getting into LHR. LGW or STN more likely.

1-1 is nice for the solo passenger but sucks for those traveling together. This will be a monumental failure of the highest degree. Widebodies will absolutely be essential to cater to the business traveler in this market and to couples flying together that want to fly business class.

First they have no plane that can fly that and you wouldn’t fly a premium heavy plane on that route. Also why in the world would Jetblue overfly jfk and BOS and do Orlando to London?

This is in line with what we’ve heard from various people in corporate regarding the evolution of Mint, so I think there’s validity to this article.

Getting ready to catch a flight to JFK for the event. Will be an exciting day, everyone is pumped!

This is all rivaling an Apple iPhone launch Speaking of which...can anyone live-stream this thing or is it all an in-person affair?

LHR is MCO's largest unserved market, and it's primarily business passengers who will use it being closer to downtown London. I don't see this being a B6 thing. Most definitely a DL/VS kind of deal. Also, at peak it's 2x to LGW, 2x to MAN, and 1 each to BFS and GLA. Slow time is generally 1x LGW and 2x MAN depending on the day.

With a name like David Flynn, a bit of trouble with The English. "The mid-2020" "helped the JetBlue"

Nice scoop though !
