Lucia and St. Maarten

Launch Date Set for Boston-Los Angeles
Flights
JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU) today announced further expansion of Mint,
its award-winning take on the premium experience, to two new
Caribbean destinations – St. Lucia and St. Maarten – and on
additional new routes.
The expansion brings Mint customers to more destinations than
ever:
- New seasonal service between New York
and St. Lucia
- New seasonal service between New York
and St. Maarten
- New seasonal service between Boston and
Aruba
- Continuation of year-round service
between New York and Barbados
- Continuation of seasonal service
between New York and Aruba
- Continuation of seasonal service
between Boston and Barbados
- Launch date set for Boston to Los
Angeles on October 20, 2016
The added routes take JetBlue’s Mint to eight destinations. From
New York, JetBlue offers Mint to six destinations, and from Boston,
JetBlue offers Mint to four destinations. All added flights go on
sale this Sunday, April 3, 2016.
“Mint’s curated offering and personalized service continues to
win over customers who have grown weary of legacy carriers’ tired
premium offering,” said Marty St. George, executive vice president
commercial and planning, JetBlue. “Even better, these Airbus A321s
with Mint offer a redesigned core cabin with enhanced entertainment
features and more comfortable seating for every customer
onboard.”
Since launching Mint in June 2014, JetBlue has disrupted the air
travel status quo with a thoughtful product and offers exceptional
service from specially trained JetBlue crewmembers.
Mint aircraft include private suites, the longest fully-flat bed
in the U.S. domestic premium market (a) and a 15-inch flat screen
with complimentary entertainment options. Customers also enjoy a
signature cocktail, a tapas-style menu, fresh espresso from the
first purposely-built cappuccino machine for a U.S. airline,
amenity kits by Birchbox, and dessert from Blue Marble and
Mah-ze-Dahr Bakery.
JetBlue is the only U.S. airline to operate regular service with
lie-flat seating to the Caribbean. Additionally, customers can
expect the same Mint experience they love on transcontinental
routes, with an added twist: Mint's northbound menus from Caribbean
destinations will feature regionally inspired small plates such as
ginger-marinated shrimp, jerk pork tenderloin and pan seared flying
fish, curated by a local culinary team. Mint customers on these
flights will also be treated to a new welcome drink featuring rum
and island flavors.
Southbound flights will offer the acclaimed Mint menu created by
New York-based restaurant Saxon + Parole.
Expanding Mint in the CaribbeanJetBlue will introduce
seasonal Mint service to St. Lucia’s Hewanorra International
Airport (UVF) and St. Maarten’s Princess Juliana International
Airport (SXM) from JetBlue’s Terminal 5 at John F. Kennedy
International Airport (JFK). Roundtrip flights will begin November
5, 2016, and operate every Saturday through spring 2017. On peak
holiday travel dates, JetBlue will operate one roundtrip to each
destination daily.
Palm-fringed beaches, miles of unspoiled rainforest and the
majestic Piton Mountains are just some of the features that draw
travelers to St. Lucia. The island welcomes a variety of travelers
seeking relaxation or adventure and features a rich culture with
Dutch, French and English influences.
St. Maarten is known for its uniqueness as the smallest landmass
in the world to be shared by two sovereign nations. Divided between
the Netherlands and France, the 37-square-mile island is home to
world-class resorts and calm waters. The island also serves as a
gateway to nearby St. Bart’s and Anguilla which are two of the top
luxury destinations in the Caribbean.
JetBlue will again offer seasonal roundtrip Mint flights between
New York and Aruba’s Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA).
This service was first introduced in fall 2015 and will operate
again this year following a successful first season. On peak
holiday travel dates, JetBlue will operate one roundtrip daily.
Mint service between New York and Barbados’ Grantley Adams
International Airport (BGI), also first introduced in fall 2015,
will continue to operate year-round on Saturdays with daily flights
offered on peak holiday travel dates.
