JetBlue continues their transatlantic expansion with daily nonstop flights from JFK to Paris/CDG on 6/29. For now, these are only available directly from JetBlue, but online travel agents should have access to them in the coming days.
The flight will depart JFK at 5:09pm and arrive into Paris at 6:55am. The return flight departs Paris at 8:55am and arrives into JFK at 11:51am.
I’m not crazy about that schedule. With a 5pm transatlantic departure, it’s very hard to get any shuteye and when you arrive in Paris you won’t be able to checkin to your hotel room for quite some time. On the return you’ll have to leave your hotel very early in the morning to catch your flight home.
Boston-Paris flights are also expected to go on sale this year.
For me, the biggest disappointment with JetBlue’s transatlantic flights is that they changed their fare structure to require round-trip travel with a Saturday night stay. JetBlue upended the domestic market when they launched with one-way fares that didn’t have those restrictions. But the JetBlue of old isn’t today’s JetBlue and they are no longer looking to disrupt as they once did.
- Valid on select dates, use the flex calendar to find valid dates.
- Round-trip purchase required
- Saturday night stay required
- Use a card like Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card, or Sapphire Reserve to earn 2-3 Chase points per dollar spent and get free trip cancellation/interruption insurance, travel accident insurance, luggage insurance, trip and luggage delay protection, and more!
- New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG) requires roundtrip purchase & Sat. night stay.
- Book by 3/9. Travel 9/10-12/8/2023 (depart) and 9/17-12/13/2023 (return).
For example a flight from JFK to Paris on November 5-12 is $475 in Basic Economy, $645 in standard economy, or $1,894.55 in MINT business class suites.
The Basic Economy fare includes a free personal item and a free carryon bag, but no free checked bag or free changes. If you have a JetBlue Plus/Business card you’ll also get a free checked bag, otherwise that will cost $65 each way. Changes cost $200.
JetBlue will fly their new A321LRs on the route with Mint suites. Live TV and free Wi-Fi will be available for all customers. You can read more about the plane and MINT suites in this post.
Paris is easily one of my favorite cities in the world. You can read my 2010 trip notes here and 2012 trip notes here. Kosher travelers certainly won’t go hungry in the city of lights. In 2010 we spent Shabbos in Paris and had wonderful meals with other travelers from around the world at Chabad of Champs Elysées. I highly recommend reserving meals with them!
The Park Hyatt Paris is no longer the 18K bargain it was once upon a time, but even at 40K points it’s an excellent value.

CDG airport is awful if you’re keeping kosher. And AirFrance workers are miserable.
Just saying.
I had a good experience flying Airfrance economy, friendly staff, maybe because it was a mostly empty flight.
