JetBlue has a transatlantic problem (fares, offering, frequency, etc…)
We're now two years into JetBlue's transatlantic expansion and while we've seen the airline launch routes to London, Paris and more recently, Amsterdam, I'm not convinced that JetBlue's transatlantic offering is as compelling as a lot us hoped that it would be when it was first launched.

How to earn Avios on JetBlue’s transatlantic flights
As JetBlue has a partnership with American Airlines, most people who fly with the airline probably credit their flights to either JetBlue's TrueBlue program or to the American Airlines AAdvantage program.

The very odd booking issue with JetBlue’s new Paris route
