“We are thrilled to introduce Mint to a fifth Caribbean route,
where customers are paying too much for so-called premium service,”
said Dave Clark, vice president network planning at JetBlue. “Our
customers are quickly discovering Grenada and its world class
beaches, attractions, and luxury resorts. Now customers traveling
between New York and this Caribbean gem can enjoy the finest
service and comfort during their flight."
Mint launched in 2014 on transcontinental flights between busy
east and west coast cities where it quickly won over travelers,
outperformed financial expectations and stimulated a new market for
premium travel. With the introduction of Mint to the Caribbean last
year, JetBlue quickly realized that leisure customers visiting some
of the top destinations in the region were also craving a higher
level of service.
Travelers to Grenada – like those bound for Barbados, Aruba, St.
Maarten and St. Lucia – will enjoy the longest fully-flat bed in
the U.S. domestic premium market (a), including four private
suites, 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 purpose-built cappuccino
machine for a U.S. airline, amenity kits by Birchbox, and dessert
from Blue Marble and Mah-ze-Dahr Bakery.
“JetBlue has proven to be a very strategic airline partner for
Grenada, offering a flight service from New York, our largest
visitor source market,” said Minister for Tourism & Civil
Aviation, Dr. Hon. Clarice Modeste-Curwen. “The responses from
visitors and the Grenadian Diaspora have been very positive, so
much so that the initial twice-weekly flights increased to four
flights per week. We are pleased to welcome this premium experience
that gives travelers more options.”
