She adds: “It’s remarkable how Mint’s thoughtful design has resonated with customers as we successfully grew it to more than 30 routes. “Mint was an idea to make premium travel across the US less stuffy and more affordable, and its performance has exceeded even our most optimistic expectations of going beyond New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco,” says Joanna Geraghty, president and chief operating officer for JetBlue. An international artisan wine list has been curated by Parcelle, while cocktals (shaken on board) are inspired by recipes from Ada’s Place, a speakeasy in New York. JetBlue has partnered with Delicious Hospitality Group to bring NYC hotspots Charlie Bird, Pasquale Jones, and Legacy Records to passengers. Onboard catering has had an overhaul too. Passengers also get to borrow a custom version of Master & Dynamic’s MH40 noise-isolating headphones for use during the flight. Mint Studios also have an extra side table and a guest seat that can accommodate an additional Mint customer when the flight is at cruising altitude. Conceptualised by Acumen and developed in partnership with AIM Altitude, each JetBlue aircraft will have two Mint Studios in the front row. JetBlue is the first carrier to outfit its aircraft with Thompson Aero Seating’s VantageSOLO seat, a herringbone configuration designed for narrow-body aircraft and further customised for JetBlue.Īs part of the relaunch, JetBlue will also introduce Mint Studio, sporting the largest bed and Thales AVANT entertainment screen (22 inches) on any US airline. Tech updates include tilting 17-inch Thales AVANT seatback screens, wireless charging stations, an integrated phone ledge, and easy-to-reach in-seat power, as well as laptop, shoe and handbag stowage. Bedding is by Tuft and Needle, which has supplied T&N Adaptive® Foam cushions, memory foam pillows and customisable blankets. “Residential textures” abound, such as flannel-covered privacy dividers, concrete lampshades, woodgrain table patterns and soft, vegan leather-covered seats and headrests. (A 16-seat layout will debut on a limited number of flights between New York and Los Angeles in 2021.) Inspired by the popularity of the four private suites in its current Mint configuration, JetBlue’s transatlantic Mint cabin will feature 24 private suites with a sliding door for every customer and gradient panelled mood lighting. Originally focused on transcontinental flights, the brand has now set its sights on transforming transatlantic travel with private booths and an ultra-spacious front-row Mint Studio concept.ĭesigned in partnership with Acumen Design Associates and launching on JetBlue’s London flights this summer, the new-look Mint business class offering will feature a thoughtful, residential-inspired design and custom touches throughout the cabin interior. JetBlue has unveiled an innovative, upgraded version of its Mint experience, which offered consumers “a fresh take on premium travel at an unpremium price” when it launched back in in 2014.
The original report stated the existing cabins had 16 lie-flat pods but made no mention of the suites.February 14th 2021 JetBlue’s new transatlantic Mint product features private suites and studios with their own sliding doors and luxurious interior design. This report was corrected to say that JetBlue's existing Mint cabins have 14 lie-flat pods but without the sliding privacy door and two lie-flat suites. The carrier said it would offer less expensive fares and more comfort than legacy competitors, both in main cabin and at the front of the plane. The carrier has yet to announce which London airport it will be flying to. Routes were to include departures from Boston and JFK.
JetBlue initially announced plans to begin flying across the Atlantic in April 2019, when the international travel market was robust. The studios will include a 22-inch seatback screen, a second side table and a guest seat, which can be used by a second Mint customer when the plane is at cruising altitude. The Mint Studio seat will also have the most surface of any lie-flat bed in the U.S. Mint Studios will offer the most square footage of any premium product on a U.S. Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection.On the ground in San Juan: Taking stock of tourism after Fiona Parts of Puerto Rico are hurting, but the island is welcoming visitors.The catalyst for Travalyst?
