New York: €349/£306 Nonstop JetBlue Flights from Gatwick (Personal Item Only)

New York

American carrier JetBlue has made a splash with their first transatlantic services between New York and London last year. Their business class product has received glaring reviews, just like their economy product. Currently, they sell roundtrips with departure from Gatwick for as little as €349. A fare that includes meal services, free beverages and unlimited WiFi.

Sadly, a cabin bag adds £20 per flight, a checked bag increases the price by £100 for a roundtrip.

Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to our flight search with your preselected flight dates. From there you can proceed to JetBlue’s website, where the cheapest tickets are available.

Decent fare for a transatlantic round trip.

JetBlue uses a mixture of A321LR and A321LD aircraft on these flights. Both feature a 3-3 seating pattern in economy class and sport some of JetBlue’s greatest assets, like free unlimited inflight Wi-Fi. Since the LD variant of the A321 aircraft is designed for domestic flights, it comes with some drawbacks for the longer transatlantic trips. Most notably, the inflight entertainment selection is limited, and you will be served cold instead of hot meals during the flights.

Sadly, there is no surefire to tell which aircraft will await you at the gate for your flight.

Information & Tips for USA

The USA offers many sights, natural wonders and cultural significance. Thanks to numerous airlines offering flights across the Atlantic, it is always pretty inexpensive to get there. Alternatively, you can also cross the Atlantic by boat.

Immigration, ESTA & Visa Requirements

The USA has one of the strictest entry regulations in the world. Most EU citizens, among others, are lucky to be able to participate in the so-called Visa Waiver Program. If you get an electronic entry permit (ESTA)  for approximately €20, you don’t need a visa for entry.

The Best Time to Visit

Due to its sheer size, the perfect time to visit the USA varies greatly from region to region. In winter, Florida is very popular due to the mild temperatures. In the summer the West and East Coasts are flooded by tourists which drives up the prices for hotels and flights and during the Indian Summer in late autumn New England is a very popular destination. The hurricane season between July and September can be dangerous in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. Florida and the southern states are regularly struck by these tropical storms. Blizzards occur from the East Coast to the Midwest during the winter months and regularly put air traffic and public life on hold.

Currency

The US dollar is widely used throughout the world and accepted as a currency in most tourist hotspots worldwide. That being said, carrying cash isn’t necessary in the US, all you need is a credit card! These are very common in the USA and are accepted pretty much everywhere without any issues. If you already have a credit card in your wallet, you should make sure that it does not charge a foreign currency fee if possible. Carrying a few dollars in cash doesn’t hurt though. You might need cash e.g. for the bus ticket if you want to buy it directly from the driver. Most of the time you even have to give exact change.
