JAL to Codeshare with JetBlue

Japan Airlines and JetBlue Airways have signed a codeshare agreement that will place JL flight indicators on select JetBlue-operated flights that connect New York and Boston with 21 destinations in the US from 22 April 2012.

Sales and reservations begin today, 18 April 2012.

JetBlue is an US-based airline known for its leather seats, one of the widest seat pitches in economy class, free inflight entertainment in every seat, and unlimited snacks and drinks.

Under the new codeshare agreement, customers can more easily connect between JAL's daily Tokyo, Narita service and US domestic cities such as New Orleans, LA; Portland, ME; Rochester and Syracuse, NY; and Washington, DC (Dulles), at JetBlue's home base at John F. Kennedy in New York.

Via Boston Logan International Airport - JetBlue's focus city, the codeshare arrangement will allow customers to smoothly transfer between JAL's latest nonstop flights to and from Tokyo, Narita, and such US destinations as Buffalo, NY; Baltimore, MD; Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa and West Palm Beach, FL.

The start of the new codeshare flights will coincide with JAL's launch of the brand new Tokyo (Narita) - Boston route using Boeing 787 Dreamliner on 22 April 2012. This first ever nonstop service between New England and Asia is a transpacific joint business route with oneworld alliance partner American Airlines, with whom JAL also has an extensive codeshare agreement.
