STRIPPING OUT PROMOTIONAL PARTS

JetBlue Mint is a premium aircraft configuration offered by JetBlue on some flights between the West Coast and the East Coast of the contiguous United States, and seasonally on some flights between the United States and Caribbean destinations. The service is operated with a fleet of Airbus A321 aircraft with lie-flat seats in premium class.

JetBlue first announced its intention to introduce premium seats on some of its transcontinental flights in March 2013.^[1] Dave Barger, JetBlue CEO at the time, said that the move was necessary for the airline to better compete with its competitors,^[2] which were operating lie-flat seats in transcontinental markets, leaving JetBlue with an all-economy class cabin.^[3] The routes were to be operated with new Airbus A321 aircraft, and feature Wi-Fi connectivity. The first Mint flight, from New York–JFK to Los Angeles, was to begin on June 15, 2014.^[2]

4 of the 16 Mint seats are mini-suites which include a sliding door for privacy.^[4] The seats have a width of up to 22.3 inches and can convert to a flat bed of up to 6'8" in length. Pairs of non-suite Mint seats alternate with single mini-suite seats.^[5] The seats use air cushioning, allowing passengers to adjust the firmness of the seats.^[6]^[5]
