[Business Class] jetBlue: Boston / New York – Paris, France. $1,999. Roundtrip, including all Taxes

By The Flight Deal in sample deals Posted July 12, 2024 Tags

A good sale for nonstop service to Paris with availability for late Summer travel. jetBlue’s Mint business class seat is good and is it 1 x 1 seating configuration.

The downsides to jetBlue service are:

  • its on a narrowbody or single aisle plane across the Atlantic
  • no lounges on the ground on either end
  • single daily flight – so if there are irregular operation, you could be stuck waiting for another flight.
