JetBlue has expanded its Amsterdam service with new nonstop flights between Boston Logan International Airport and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The service, which started on September 20, follows the airline’s JFK-Amsterdam route that began last month. JetBlue also offers daily service to London from Boston and will launch service to Paris next year.
“Our recently launched Amsterdam service from New York has already been very successful and we are thrilled to expand our low fares and great service to Amsterdam to our Boston customers,” said Dave Clark, head of revenue and planning, JetBlue. “Adding nonstop service to Amsterdam benefits business and leisure customers who have suffered from high fares by legacy carriers for decades and brings more options to our customers in our New England focus city.”
Flights will operate daily on JetBlue’s Airbus A321 Long Range aircraft with 24 redesigned Mint Suite seats, 114 core seats, and the sleek and spacious Airspace cabin interior.
To celebrate the new service, seats are on sale, with fares for U.S.-originating travelers starting at $499 roundtrip for the airline’s standard experience and starting at $2,199 for the premium Mint experience. Netherlands-originating travelers can enjoy special introductory roundtrip fares starting at €399 ($433) for standard and €1,599 ($1712) for Mint.
Customers who book directly through jetblue.com are guaranteed to find the best and lowest fares and enjoy additional benefits, including access to all of JetBlue’s fare options and fare sales and promotions, some of which may not be available through other third parties.

With their beautifully earthy, nutty notes, Jerusalem artichokes remind me of salsify, but they also have a distinct hint of artichoke hearts. What I like most about them is that they can be served in a variety of ways — raw, pureed, pickled or made into crisps. In Germany, they’re even fermented to make brandy. You can also use the skins washed, roasted and ground to add a breadcrumb-like texture to dishes.
Good morning from Skift. It’s Friday, October 6. Here’s what you need to know about the business of travel today.
Amsterdam - with its beautiful canals, world class museums, and vibrant culture – is one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations, earning the distinction as no less than the continent’s best capital city for tourists in this year’s VisaGuide World survey. Yet, as popular as it is, Amsterdam has long suffered from a lack of true 5-star luxury hotels. At least one Amsterdam hotel, however, fits that profile from top to bottom – the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam.
Amsterdam will increase its city tourist tax next year, cementing its status as having the highest in Europe.
