JetBlue Expands Domestic Reach with Longest US Routes

JetBlue Airways is enhancing its domestic service with six internal routes exceeding 2,500 miles. This expansion follows the airline’s significant growth in international operations, particularly with new transatlantic flights using the Airbus A321LR. While the carrier has recently increased its global presence, domestic flights remain a core focus, with a particular emphasis on transcontinental travel.

Boston to San Francisco: The Longest Route

The longest domestic route in JetBlue’s network originates from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to San Francisco International Airport (SFO), covering a distance of 2,704 miles (4,351.7 km). As of October 2025, JetBlue has scheduled 149 outbound and 148 inbound flights on this corridor, operating between three and six round trips daily. The majority of these flights utilize the Airbus A321-200, which features 143 economy and 16 business class seats. Select services employ the A321LR, offering 24 business and 114 economy seats.

When the route was launched in 2007, SFO Airport Director John Martin remarked, “Just as SFO is committed to providing our travelers with unsurpassed safety, security, and customer service, JetBlue has created a brand that is synonymous with first-class customer service at an outstanding value.”

Other Notable Transcontinental Routes

JetBlue’s second-longest domestic route also departs from Boston, heading to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). This route spans 2,611 miles (4,202 km) and features 142 outbound and 141 inbound flights scheduled this month. Most of these flights operate between three and five times daily, primarily on the A321-200, while select westbound flights utilize the A321LR, known for its staggered seating arrangement in business class.

The third-longest route connects Boston with San Diego International Airport (SAN), located 2,588 miles (4,165 km) away. JetBlue has planned 89 round trips this month, with most days seeing three daily rotations. All services on this route are operated by A321-200 aircraft, including some all-economy configurations accommodating up to 200 passengers.

Moving beyond Boston, JetBlue also operates significant routes from New York’s JFK Airport. The fourth-longest route, connecting JFK to San Francisco, is 2,586 miles (4,161.8 km) long. This route operates four to six times a day, utilizing A321-200 aircraft with two-class layouts.

Another noteworthy route is from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to San Francisco, which measures 2,583 miles (4,156.9 km) and is served twice daily throughout October. Once again, the A321-200 is the aircraft of choice, featuring a two-class setup.

Finally, the sixth route longer than 2,500 miles links JFK with Sacramento International Airport (SMF). This route is exclusively serviced by A321-200 aircraft, primarily configured with economy seating. Of the 200 seats, 42 are branded ‘Even More Space’, offering a comfortable 37-inch pitch, while standard economy seats provide a generous 34-inch pitch. JetBlue operated this route daily until October 25.

As JetBlue continues to expand its domestic network, the emphasis on long-haul routes demonstrates the airline’s commitment to providing extensive travel options for its customers. With a blend of aircraft and services, JetBlue aims to enhance the passenger experience on its longest flights across the United States.
