Nearly 20 Years After Revolutionizing Air
Travel, JetBlue Continues to Lead The Industry
JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU) today proudly announced it has been named
the number one domestic airline in Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best
Awards 2019. Each year, the readers of Travel + Leisure, the
largest travel brand in the United States, vote on their favorite
airlines, destinations, hotels, and more. Now approaching 20 years
of low-fare flying, JetBlue continues to put the customer at the
center of the travel experience in ways no airline can match.
“Whether it’s new planes on new routes, our customer comfort and
inflight connectivity, or our airport amenities and caring
crewmembers, JetBlue strives to lead the industry in every aspect
of air travel,” said Joanna Geraghty, JetBlue’s president and chief
operating officer. “Honors like this from Travel + Leisure show
that the dedication of our 22,000+ crewmembers is truly making a
difference in the experiences of our customers each day and we
couldn’t be prouder.”
This recognition comes as JetBlue recently took delivery of its
first Airbus A321neo aircraft and announced future orders for the
A321LR, A321XLR and A220-300 aircraft. Together the aircraft will
usher in the next chapter of the JetBlue story with unmatched fuel
savings, a best-in-class customer experience from award-winning
crewmembers, and the promise to broaden the customer-focused
airline’s reach within the Americas and into Europe in the years
ahead.
At the same time, JetBlue continues to make significant
investments in its current fleet and customer experience through
the restyling of its A320 aircraft. JetBlue’s newest Airbus A320
cabin experience officially took flight this spring and introduces
a new era of comfort and connectivity to travelers, bringing to the
skies the widest seats available for this aircraft and the most
legroom in coach of any U.S. airline (a). The refreshed experience
also offers an unparalleled inflight entertainment (IFE) experience
with 100+ channels of DIRECTV® and hundreds of free movies and
shows, expanded coverage of free Fly-Fi® broadband connectivity
almost everywhere JetBlue flies (b) and much more.
Additionally, JetBlue continues to expand its award-winning
premium Mint experience on cross-country routes and in the
Caribbean and Latin America. Currently, the airline operates more
than 80 daily Mint flights in 15 JetBlue cities. On most of these
routes, JetBlue is the only airline to offer regularly scheduled
flights with a lie flat seat, which complements other Mint
amenities including tapas-style dining, Hayward and Hopper amenity
kits, dessert from local artisanal ice cream makers and
award-winning service from hospitality-trained crewmembers.
“For 24 years, our readers have been voting in the Travel +
Leisure World’s Best Awards,” said Jacqui Gifford, Editor in Chief,
Travel + Leisure. “This annual franchise is a global collection of
the top hotels, islands, cities, cruise lines, airlines, and more.
Brands and properties from all over the world—from Peru to Japan,
India to Italy, and right here at home in the United States—are
recognized by our audience because they deliver on exceptional
experiences, rooted in a sense of place. I congratulate all of this
year’s winners, who have worked so hard to be among the world’s
best.”
JetBlue’s honor from Travel + Leisure comes on the heels of
JetBlue being named Highest in Customer Satisfaction Among Low Cost
Carriers in the J.D. Power 2019 North America Airline Satisfaction
Study. The airline has also recently picked up awards for its
TrueBlue loyalty program, the JetBlue mobile app and was awarded
for “Best Regional Business Class” and Overall “Passenger Comfort”
in North America by TripAdvisor.
