U.S. authorities are likely to retaliate against the Dutch government’s decision to cut flights at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport, probably limiting slots for Dutch airline KLM at U.S. airports, airline lobby group IATA said on Tuesday.

JetBlue will be heading to Dublin and Edinburgh this summer in its latest transatlantic expansion, the airline announced on Wednesday.
The airline will begin daily seasonal service to Dublin from New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport and Boston Logan International Airport on March 13, 2024, through Sept. 30, 2024. JetBlue will also begin daily seasonal service from New York-JFK to Edinburgh, on May 22, also through Sept. 30 2024.
Tickets are now on sale for both routes, with roundtrip fares starting at $399 for Dublin and $599 for Edinburgh in the «Core» experience. The «Mint» Cabin starts at $1,999 for Dublin and $2,499 for Edinburgh.
Both flights will operate on JetBlue’s fleet of A321neo aircraft, which have 20 percent greater fuel efficiency than previous planes. The aircraft features JetBlue Mint, an upgraded cabin experience with a flat-bed seat, additional dining options, bedding, and a privacy door. The economy cabin, known as “Core,” will have amenities such as free wifi and dining options curated by New York City restaurant DIG.
“Our summer seasonal service to Dublin and Edinburgh will bring a new level of service and affordable fares to these markets that have been dominated by high-fare legacy carriers for decades," JetBlue’s Chief Operating Officer Robin Hayes said in a statement. «We look forward to introducing the JetBlue experience to business and leisure customers traveling this summer to and from Ireland and Scotland.»
JetBlue's Dublin and Edinburgh route will mark its 5th and 6th transatlantic route, respectively, as the airline now serves London — at both Heathrow and Gatwick — Paris, and most recently, Amsterdam.
JetBlue also announced several schedule increases to Paris, with additional flight sections taking off next summer on April 3, 2024, ahead of the upcoming Summer Olympics. The airline will operate a new route from Boston to Paris / Charles de Gaulle Airport. The flight will also operate on a A321 with the Mint Class. Tickets are now on sale for the route, with roundtrips starting at $599 for “Core” and $2,499 for “Mint”. JetBlue will also add an extra flight from New York-JFK to Paris on June 20.

American Airlines is growing its international network once again.
Imagine my surprise when I saw that my flight from New York to San Francisco last night was showing as leaving on time, but my arrival was delayed by 46 minutes. I'd never seen that before, and it turns out the jet stream is making for some very unusual flights lately. My flight ended up getting in only about a half hour late, but it was a long flight. A whopping seven hours from coast to coast, it was longer than trips to Europe I've had. And it's all about the jet stream.
Until recently, few Parisian hotels dared to distract from the classic aesthetics of the city itself. The décor of its gilded palace hotels, single-minded embassies of French heritage, was, largely, fussy and excessively impersonal, as if a misplaced streak of color could break the city’s spell. Today the capital is finally overcoming its self-seriousness, thanks in part to its vibrant post-Brexit ascendancy in the contemporary arts and culture scenes. Many of its new hotels seek to delight rather than simply impress, and often conjure other worlds, as in the Marais’s Maison Proust, a candlelit Belle Époque fantasy half-hidden behind tasseled indigo velvet curtains, or the nearby Le Grand Mazarin, fashioned by the London-based Swedish designer Martin Brudnizki from contrasting styles and eras, all in a swirl of candy colors. “It took longer than New York and London,” says the Italian architect and designer Fabrizio Casiraghi, “but Paris is at last discovering the kind of small hotel that has something to say.”
The Homestake Slime Plant in Deadwood, South Dakota might not sound like the kind of place nearby which you’d like to lay your head for a few nights. Indeed, back when the gold processing site was erected in 1906 and up until it was decommissioned in the 1970s, it would have been an unwise proposition.
The CEO of JetBlue Airways testified in court on Monday that the company’s proposed $3.8 billion acquisition of Spirit Airlines is a critical part of his plan to turn the airline into a more significant competitor to the four largest U.S. air carriers.
Tens of millions of travelers fly across large oceans annually. It’s routine these days. Main routes, such as between New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport and Heathrow Airport in Hounslow to the west of London, see over a dozen nonstop flights a day in each direction. The massive airports that serve them have multiple terminals connected by their own rail systems to move both people and their luggage. Thousands of workers start shifts before dawn and stay on duty until the last airplane has safely departed. More than 76,000 people work at LHR as flyers know it.
It’s been a busy week for JetBlue.
It looks like JetBlue may have to scrap its short-lived routes to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) next summer.
Terminal 1 at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) may just be the airport's worst terminal. There are lines everywhere, especially when traveling during the afternoon and evening rush hour.
JetBlue is phasing out more than a dozen routes across its network, significantly decreasing connectivity in the northeast.
JetBlue Airways is making several cuts to its network, nearly all of which are focused on the Northeast.
