“As we expand our New England footprint with new service from Boston to Barcelona and Milan, we’re bringing more travelers the elevated service that has redefined transatlantic air travel, including our award-winning Mint premium experience,” said Joanna Geraghty, chief executive officer of JetBlue, in a news release. “Customers flying to Europe with JetBlue enjoy the kind of thoughtful design, privacy, and hospitality they simply won’t find with legacy carriers, and we’re proud to continue delivering incredible value and style on both sides of the Atlantic.”

JetBlue said the additions will expand its European presence from Boston to nine destinations next summer. The airline also plans to operate five daily transatlantic routes from New York-JFK during the summer months. 

Tickets for both routes will go on sale Nov. 20.
