JetBlue Mint

Say goodbye to cramped legs, seatmates that take up too much space and sub-par food options thanks to JetBlue’s Mint seating, which is putting affordable, luxury jetsetting within reach.

The service — now running between JFK and BGI, BOS and SFO; BOS to BGI; and BOS to LAX (launching in September) — gives travelers more space with 16 lie-flat seats (the largest and widest in the U.S. domestic market) that have a massage function and air cushions with adjustable firmness, and on some flights, four suites with doors. Flying with a friend? Some of the rows have two seats next to each so you know who you are nodding off next to while other rows only have one seat and give a sense of privacy.

Guests in the new Mint seats have the opportunity to sip wines handpicked by sommelier Jon Bonne, and snack on food by New York-based chef Brad Farmerie from Saxon and Parole and desserts from Blue Marble and Mah Ze Dahr Bakery. Farmerie developed nearly 70 dishes for the Mint program (not all the dishes on the menu are his creation) as they are constantly changing. Travelers can choose from five meals on each flight and JetBlue makes sure eastbound and westbound flights have different options for those on a round-trip. Dishes offered in the Mint program include buttermilk pancakes with poached pear and a farro, barley, wild rice and quinoa salad with carrot harissa puree. Travelers will also get men’s and women’s amenity kits from Birchbox.
