JetBlue Airways (New York) today (October 26) launches its interpretation of premium service, Mint, between New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
The airline continued with this statement:
Mint, which launched on June 15 between JFK and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), has quickly proved a success with both customers and media. JetBlue is also ramping up service between New York and San Francisco in the coming months, increasing to up to five daily roundtrip flights by first quarter 2015.
JetBlue’s critically acclaimed Mint service features the widest seat and longest fully-flat bed in the U.S. domestic market and four private suites among the 16 seats. With the introduction of Mint, JetBlue is now the only airline in America and one of the few in the world to offer customers a private suite. The Mint Experience also features a 15-inch flat screen with 100+ channels of DIRECTV® programming and more than 100 channels of SiriusXM® satellite radio.

JetBlue has teamed up with a number of unique partners to provide a distinctive product with Mint. From a tapas-style menu curated by popular New York City restaurant Saxon+Parole, wines selected by its new wine expert Jon Bonné (Wine Editor of the San Francisco Chronicle), and customized amenity kits from Birchbox, to organic desserts by Blue Marble Ice Cream and a sweet treat from Mah-ze-Dahr Bakery, Mint customers will enjoy the latest products and delicious cuisine providing refresh-mint, entertain-mint and rejuvenation during and after their flight.
Mint is available on the brand new Airbus A321 aircraft that are being continuously added to JetBlue’s fleet. JetBlue’s A321 fleet with Mint will total 11 aircraft by the end of first quarter 2015.
JetBlue already provided unlimited snacks and soft drinks, an offering that will be expanded aboard Mint aircraft. To add even more to the core experience on New York-Los Angeles/San Francisco flights, JetBlue created the Inflight Marketplace concept for all new Airbus A321s, a complimentary self-serve station full of snacks, soft drinks and water for customers to enjoy at their convenience throughout the flight.
