JetBlue Airlines has announced the launch of two new routes from Boston to Madrid, Spain, and Edinburgh, Scotland.

Starting May 22, 2025, Jet Blue will offer daily nonstop seasonal service between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD), marking its debut in Spain and expanding its European footprint.

The same day will see JetBlue kick off daily seasonal flights between Boston Logan and Edinburgh Airport (EDI), Scotland. This new route will join JetBlue’s popular summer seasonal service between New York’s JFK Airport and Edinburgh, giving travelers more ways to experience the charm of Scotland's historic capital. Both routes, along with all of JetBlue’s European destinations, are currently available for booking.

“Madrid and Edinburgh represent two of Europe’s most exciting and popular destinations, and we’re happy to offer even more transatlantic travel options for our customers from Boston and New England,” said Daniel Shurz, head of revenue, network and enterprise planning at JetBlue.

He added, “Europe continues to be part of our network strategy, as our loyal customers look for JetBlue's signature service and low fares to bring them to top leisure destinations, including across the Atlantic."

To celebrate the launch, and for a limited time, Boston-originating passengers can take advantage of special $499 roundtrip fares to both Madrid and Edinburgh for JetBlue’s core experience. Those looking to elevate their experience can take advantage of special $2,799 roundtrip fares to Madrid and $2,999 roundtrip fares to Edinburgh with the airline’s premium Mint experience.

JetBlue's new Boston flights to Madrid and Edinburgh support its JetForward strategy to build the best East Coast leisure network and return to sustained profitability. Edinburgh and Madrid will join JetBlue’s existing transatlantic seasonal service from Boston to Amsterdam, Dublin, and London-Gatwick and year-round flights to London-Heathrow and Paris. In summer 2025, JetBlue will offer seven daily nonstops from Boston to Europe.

From New York-JFK, JetBlue serves Dublin and Edinburgh seasonally, while Amsterdam, London-Heathrow, and Paris are served year-round. Based on their popularity, returning routes to Dublin and Edinburgh have been extended this year to the end of October, a month later than the previous year.

“Since launching flights to London in 2021, we’ve thoughtfully adjusted our European service to maximize value for our customers and our business,” said Shurz. “By aligning our schedule with peak seasonal demand and flying our aircraft to other destinations in the off-season, we’re capitalizing from a business perspective while delivering the destinations and experiences our customers love. This approach is driving meaningful results.”

Customers across JetBlue’s network can connect through Boston and New York as gateways to their next European adventure or, via Europe, both focus cities serve as a gateway to JetBlue’s many destinations throughout the United States, Canada, the Caribbean and Latin America.
