Aer Lingus has teamed up with low cost US airline JetBlue Airways to offer passengers the facility to book a single reservation between Ireland and 40 US destinations. Passengers will connect through JetBlue's home base at New York's JFK airport.
The new service will begin on April 3.
Upon arrival to JFK and after customs clearance, Aer Lingus customers connecting to a domestic JetBlue flight can check-in and drop their bags at Aer Lingus's transfer desk in the arrivals lobby at Terminal 4. Customers can then travel to JetBlue's Terminal 6 - via an airtrain - for their domestic US connection.
'With a strong customer base, brand strength and position in the US market, JetBlue is a natural partner for Aer Lingus,' commented the airline's CEO Dermot Mannion.
