JetBlue Airways has announced that BlueFirst™, its new domestic first class, is available now for booking on select flights across more than 30 routes, giving customers their first opportunity to reserve a seat in JetBlue’s newest premium experience with limited time promotional fares as low as $249 one-way.
BlueFirst will officially take flight on December 8, 2026 with its first-ever revenue flight connecting two of JetBlue’s largest focus cities, Boston and Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood. Within days, BlueFirst will expand to select flights between Fort Lauderdale and New York’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA), with additional routes to follow in the weeks and months ahead.
As BlueFirst is added to JetBlue’s non-Mint-equipped fleet, it will reach more markets across the airline’s network, including in Latin America and the Caribbean.
BlueFirst Takes Flight
To celebrate BlueFirst going on sale, JetBlue is offering limited one-way introductory fares starting at $249 on select routes. Customers can book BlueFirst today for travel beginning as early as December 8, based on availability.
Limited-availability introductory BlueFirst fares starting from $249 are available on select flights below1:
| Route | Introductory Fare |
| Boston (BOS) to/from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) | $299 |
| New York (LGA) to/from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) | $249 |
| New York (JFK) to Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR) | $299 |
BlueFirst’s first-ever revenue flight will take off from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) on December 8, bound for Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL). The route marks a fitting milestone for JetBlue: Fort Lauderdale was the airline’s first-ever destination and will now become the first official destination for BlueFirst. Connecting two of JetBlue’s largest focus cities, the route also reflects the role BlueFirst will play across the airline’s network, complementing Mint®, JetBlue’s business class experience on longer flights. The initial BlueFirst routes were selected based on customer demand for premium travel, including popular leisure destinations, while supporting a phased rollout across JetBlue’s network.

More Ways for Mosaic Members to Move Up
For eligible Mosaic members who want to secure their BlueFirst seat, JetBlue is evolving its Move to Mint® certificates into Premium Upgrade Certificates, which can be redeemed for both Mint and BlueFirst where available, at variable redemption rates.
