“We’re bringing even more Mint to markets in every corner of our
route map where travelers are overdue for an upgrade to the
so-called ‘first-class’ flights offered by other airlines,” said
Marty St. George, executive vice president commercial and planning,
JetBlue. “In every city where we’ve introduced Mint we’ve
transformed the premium travel business and boosted overall
performance on the routes.”
Mint offers a completely rethought design and a more personal
approach to service, addressing the needs of the modern traveler.
Mint features exceptional hospitality from specially trained
crewmembers. Favorite Mint features include lie-flat seating, a
signature cocktail, a tapas-style menu by New York City restaurant
Saxon + Parole, fresh espresso from the first purpose-built
cappuccino machine for a U.S. airline, amenity kits by Hayward and
Hopper, and – on domestic Mint flights – dessert from local
artisanal ice cream makers based in each Mint city.
