JetBlue and Aer Lingus Expand Codeshare Partnership Between the U.S. and Ireland
JetBlue today announced it is expanding its codeshare partnership with Aer Lingus, the Irish flag carrier. This will offer customers more ways to book and connect their travel between the two airlines’ networks. The new codeshare flights are now available for booking on jetblue.com.
As part of the new bilateral codeshare, JetBlue is now placing its “B6” code on four Aer Lingus routes between JetBlue’s Northeast focus cities and Ireland:
- New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to:
- Dublin Airport (DUB)
- Shannon Airport (SNN)
- Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to:
- Dublin Airport
- Shannon Airport
JetBlue and Aer Lingus customers purchasing a codeshare itinerary benefit from having a single ticket that includes flights operated by both carriers, as well as conveniences on their day of travel like one-stop check-in and baggage transfer. Additionally, customers traveling to the U.S. from Ireland benefit from the convenience of pre-clearing customs prior to departing Dublin and Shannon, allowing them to be on their way faster after landing in New York or Boston. JetBlue also intends to add its code to select Aer Lingus routes beyond Ireland in the near future.
JetBlue and Aer Lingus have partnered since 2008 and in 2013 announced a unilateral codeshare agreement. Today the Aer Lingus “EI” code is available on more than three dozen JetBlue routes and offer customers convenient connections through JetBlue’s New York and Boston focus cities.
