What plane does JetBlue use to London?

Ready to stand out from the crowd? Most JetBlue transatlantic flights are on our Airbus A321 Long Range³, which has only 114 seats and 24 suites. That means more personalized attention, more personal space (instead of more persons in your space), and less hassle boarding and deplaning.



JetBlue primarily utilizes the Airbus A321LR (Long Range) for its highly anticipated transatlantic service between the United States and London. This aircraft is a specialized, long-range version of the popular A321neo, featuring three additional center-section fuel tanks that allow it to fly up to 4,000 nautical miles. Despite being a narrow-body, single-aisle aircraft, JetBlue has configured the interior to feel like a wide-body experience to compete with legacy carriers. The plane features the redesigned "Mint" business class suites, which include 24 private lay-flat seats with sliding doors for ultimate privacy, including two "Mint Studios" in the front row that offer even more space. For the 114 passengers in the "Even More Space" and "Core" economy sections, the aircraft provides the most legroom in coach of any U.S. airline, along with oversized overhead bins and a "Pantry" for self-service snacks. The A321LR is also equipped with high-speed, free "Fly-Fi" gate-to-gate, and large seatback screens with live television and on-demand content. This choice of aircraft allows JetBlue to fly efficiently into both London Heathrow (LHR) and London Gatwick (LGW) while maintaining a premium boutique feel that distinguishes it from the larger twin-aisle jets typically used on these routes.
