JetBlue brings back Reagan National to JFK Airport flight

By Jeff Clabaugh

JetBlue has released its new spring and summer schedule and it includes reviving its popular Reagan National flight to New York.

Last year, JetBlue dropped more than a dozen routes, including its daily flight from DCA to John F. Kennedy Airport in New York. It will bring that route back beginning March 30. Its travel schedule lists the route as once daily and year-round.

JetBlue flies to nine other destinations from Reagan National currently, including those in Florida, New England and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

JetBlue’s flight from BWI Marshall Airport to Boston was among those it dropped last year. It was the airline’s only BWI Marshall flight. It is not on the list of routes resumed this year.

The cuts JetBlue announced last year came shortly after its acquisition of Spirit Airlines was blocked.

The resumption of its Reagan National to JFK flight is part of a much larger expansion JetBlue announced this week. It is adding a half dozen destinations from Boston, including nonstops to Edinburgh, Scotland; Madrid, Spain; and Halifax, Nova Scotia, and both year-round as well as seasonal flights from all three New York City airports.

At Boston’s Logan International Airport, JetBlue will now operate nonstop flights to 77 destinations, more than any other airline.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
