Good news for travelers looking for more affordable ways to get to Europe this summer! JetBlue has officially landed in Italy for the very first time, launching its highly anticipated daily nonstop seasonal service between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP).
The inaugural flight took off on May 11, marking a massive milestone for the New York-based carrier as it aggressively expands its transatlantic footprint.
Expanding the European Footprint
While some might still think of JetBlue as a domestic budget carrier, the airline has quietly turned Boston into a powerful transatlantic gateway. Milan marks JetBlue’s ninth nonstop European destination out of Boston for the summer season, joining an impressive lineup that includes:
Year-Round Service: London (Heathrow), Paris, and Amsterdam.
Summer Seasonal Service: Barcelona, Dublin, Edinburgh, London (Gatwick), and Madrid.
According to JetBlue’s President, Marty St. George, adding Milan gives travelers across New England and the broader network a chance to experience the airline's unique transatlantic service built around "exceptional service, thoughtful design, and everyday value."
Low Fares to Celebrate the Launch
To celebrate the debut in Italy, JetBlue is dropping some seriously competitive introductory fares for summer travel. For a limited time, U.S.-originating travelers can book one-way tickets at three distinct price tiers:
Core (Economy): Starting at $399
EvenMore (Premium Economy): Starting at $649
Mint (Business Class): Starting at $2,199
While peak summer travel to Europe is notorious for sky-high pricing on legacy carriers, these introductory fares offer an excellent opportunity to book a cheaper entry point into Northern Italy.
What to Expect Onboard
The daily seasonal flight—which runs through October 5, 2026—operates on JetBlue’s sleek Airbus A321 aircraft. Passengers flying to Milan can expect the standard perks that have made JetBlue a favorite for coast-to-coast flights:
Free, high-speed Wi-Fi that keeps you connected across the ocean.Seatback entertainment screens at every single seat.
Complimentary meals and snacks, featuring restaurant-style small plates curated by acclaimed New York City restaurants.
Lie-flat Mint suites for those looking to fly in boutique business-class luxury.

Your Gateway to La Dolce Vita
