At long last, JetBlue has finally unveiled its highly anticipated Mint cabin for its new transatlantic services. It's a game changer!
The airline has gone with the Thompson Aero Vantage SOLO for the seat, a reverse herringbone cabin layout for maximum capacity, and a ‘studio’ up front. Every passenger in the Mint cabin will be welcomed with more privacy, more space and lie flat comfort at every seat.
But the real winner is that studio. In the first row of every A321LR, passengers can enjoy the biggest lie-flat bed and more real estate than any other US carrier. The product looks stunning, and at JetBlue’s affordable premium prices, it’s sure to become the best way to cross the Atlantic by far.
“Mint was an idea to make premium travel across the U.S. less stuffy and more affordable, and its performance has exceeded even our most optimistic expectations of going beyond New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco" says Joanna Geraghty, president and chief operating officer at JetBlue
Each aircraft will have two Mint Studios in the first row, providing ample room for working or relaxing, and featuring a 22-inch tilting Thales Avant seatback screen, an extra side table for added productivity, and a guest seat that can accommodate an additional Mint customer during flight at cruising altitude.
“It’s remarkable how Mint’s thoughtful design has resonated with customers as we successfully grew it to more than 30 routes," according to Geraghty. "We put our heart into this redesign of Mint and were inspired by our original vision of offering customers an exceptional experience at a lower fare – which is what JetBlue is all about.”
The reimagined Mint is the first major overhaul of JetBlue’s popular premium product, and was undertaken in partnership with Acumen Design Associates. The 24 seat cabin will take flight on JetBlue’s transatlantic flights this summer, and a smaller layout will just 16 seats will appear on a limited selection of New York to Los Angeles services later this year.
Mint was developed in collaboration with Tuft & Needle. From the looks of things, it has everything you need to get from point A to point ZZZ.
