JetBlue flight tracker

Track every flight worldwide here: Flight Radar.

To track a JetBlue flight right now, use the live radar at the top of this page: it is filtered to show only JetBlue aircraft, so every plane you see is a B6 flight currently in the air. Click any aircraft to see its flight number, route, altitude, speed and estimated arrival time. If you know the flight number, for example B6 615, type it into the search box and the map jumps straight to that aircraft. The radar is a filtered view of the worldwide flight radar on our homepage, so it covers JetBlue’s entire network, from the short Boston hops to the overnight Airbus crossings to Europe.

The JetBlue flight number: what B6 tells you

Every JetBlue flight carries the code B6 followed by one to four digits, such as B6 23 or B6 1103. You will find this number in your booking confirmation email, on your boarding pass, in the JetBlue app under My Trips, and on the departure boards at the airport. On this radar the same aircraft often shows up as JBU plus the digits: JBU is JetBlue’s ICAO airline code, the one written in flight plans and transmitted by the aircraft, while on the radio pilots and controllers simply say “JetBlue”. B6 615 and JBU615 are the same flight; our tracker understands both, so search with whichever version you have.

Watch out for codeshares. JetBlue sells seats through partner airlines, and those partners sell JetBlue-operated flights under their own codes. A ticket bought through Qatar Airways, for instance, can carry a QR flight number even though the aircraft taking off is a JetBlue Airbus. The radar always shows the operating carrier, which is the airline actually flying the plane. If your partner-coded flight does not appear, look on your confirmation for the line “operated by JetBlue” and search for the B6 number listed there. That is the number the aircraft transmits and the one air traffic control uses.

Is my JetBlue flight on time?

To check your JetBlue Airlines flight status, read the label the tracker shows next to the flight number. Scheduled means the aircraft has not yet departed and no delay has been filed. Delayed means JetBlue has pushed back the departure and the new estimated time has replaced the original one; the evening departures to Europe from JFK and Boston are the most sensitive, because any delay on the inbound aircraft carries straight into the night flight. En route means the aircraft is airborne, and from that moment the arrival estimate is calculated from its real position, speed and the winds along the route, which makes it far more reliable than the timetable. Landed marks the moment of touchdown, not the moment the doors open at the gate.

For anyone picking up a passenger, build in a buffer after the landing time. Taxiing to the gate, deboarding and baggage delivery typically add 30 to 45 minutes at JetBlue’s two busiest airports, New York JFK and Fort Lauderdale. A practical approach: watch the flight en route, note the estimated arrival, and plan to be at arrivals about half an hour after that. On busy evenings at JFK you can sometimes spot inbound JetBlue aircraft flying circles in a holding pattern off the Long Island coast; the radar shows you that delay minutes before it ever reaches the airport screens.

Spotting the JetBlue fleet on the radar

JetBlue has been an all-Airbus airline since September 2025, when its last Embraer E190 was retired, which makes fleet spotting straightforward. The workhorses are the Airbus A320 and the stretched A321, joined by the smaller Airbus A220-300, now more than 50 strong, that took over the shorter routes from the E190. On the radar you can tell them apart by route and behavior: A220s dominate the shorter East Coast hops, A320s cover the classic domestic network, and A321s fly the long transcontinental and international routes.

Two A321 variants deserve special attention. The A321 with Mint, JetBlue’s lie-flat premium cabin, flies the prestige transcontinental routes between New York and Los Angeles or San Francisco. The longer-range A321LR handles the entire transatlantic network, crossing to Europe overnight. If you see a JetBlue aircraft over the Atlantic at 35,000 feet in the evening hours US time, you are almost certainly watching an A321LR on its way to London, Paris or Amsterdam.

Where JetBlue flies: focus cities rather than fortress hubs

JetBlue does not run a classic hub-and-spoke system the way Delta does from Atlanta, and it is not a pure point-to-point carrier like Southwest either. Instead it concentrates flying in a handful of focus cities: New York JFK, Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and San Juan. New York JFK is the heart of the network, where JetBlue operates from its own Terminal 5; in Boston the airline is the largest carrier at Logan Airport. Fort Lauderdale serves as the gateway to the Caribbean and Latin America, which explains the steady stream of B6 flights you will see heading south over Florida on the radar at almost any hour.

This network shape has practical consequences for tracking. Most JetBlue aircraft fly out-and-back or in chains between focus cities, so a morning delay in Boston can ripple through the same aircraft’s schedule all day. If your evening flight shows on time but you want certainty, click the aircraft on the radar and check where it is coming from: an inbound plane still on the ground two states away tells you more than any status label. The transatlantic flights follow a fixed rhythm, leaving the US East Coast in the evening and returning from Europe in the late morning.

Frequently asked questions

Which JetBlue routes have Mint?
Mint, the lie-flat business cabin, flies on the premium transcontinental routes from New York JFK and Boston to Los Angeles and San Francisco, on the transatlantic flights to Europe, and on selected leisure routes in season. On the radar these are always A321 aircraft; the A220 and A320 do not carry Mint.

Why does my JetBlue flight show as JBU on the tracker?
JBU is JetBlue’s ICAO airline code, the identifier used in flight plans and transmitted by the aircraft; on the radio the flight is simply called “JetBlue”. Tickets and airport screens use the sales code B6. They refer to the same flight, and you can search this tracker with either form.

Does JetBlue fly to Europe?
Yes. JetBlue crosses the Atlantic with the long-range Airbus A321LR from New York JFK and Boston. London Heathrow, Paris and Amsterdam are served year-round, with seasonal summer flights to Dublin, Edinburgh, London Gatwick, Madrid and, since 2026, Barcelona and Milan. Eastbound flights depart in the evening and land the next morning, so the best time to watch them live is late evening US Eastern time.

Why does my JetBlue flight sometimes disappear from the radar over the Caribbean?
The radar picture is built from receivers on the ground, and coverage over open water is thinner than over land. On routes from Fort Lauderdale or JFK down to the islands, an aircraft can drop off the map for a stretch and reappear closer to its destination. The flight itself is unaffected: the map estimates the track across the gap and the arrival estimate keeps updating.
