CHEAPEST Business Class Ever!🤑 (JetBlue “Mint” Transatlantic)

[@BrenonaPlen]

Hey Jeb and Suzanne! I was your lead crewmember on board and like I said then it was an honor to have you on board. As soon as I saw you my little airline nerd heart lit up with joy! I'd be more than happy to welcome you back on board any of my Trans-Atlantic flights again. This also happened to be my very first working flight in the Trans-Atlantic catalogue, and as the lead of course, so it makes me incredibly happy to hear how much you enjoyed the service myself and the other crew could provide for you. Hope to see you in the great blue skies again soon. Cheers!

[@GreenerGrass]

Thank you so much for watching and for your service! We had a great flight (thanks to you and your team) and look forward to flying with you again!💙

Jet Blue should definitively introduce Lounge access to Business Class guests.

I think no lounge is ok, if you’re already paying less with no points or anything like that for a LIE FLAT SEAT, I think it cancels out the “no lounge access”. Great video Jeb and Suzanne!

[@stephenwibowo6251]

That and if you have the right credit cards (ie. chase Sapphire, Amex Platinum) you have lounge access anyways

[@eliteiel9747]

Yeah, can make your own lounge at home with the money youre saving, get a nice wine and some good food and home is way more comfy anyway. A lounge is only useful if you're connecting flights or just want to get to the airport real early imo.

[@janmogensen2619]

The LIE FLAT SEAT is even more important when you're flying in the other direction! No lounge access is unimportant to me.

[@MrPerfesser]

Absolutely. The lie flat seat is everything, especially if you are flying TO Europe, which is usually a redeye. With my various credit cards, I can almost always find lounge access. But finding an affordable lie flat seat is key.

[@GooseLiver64]

[@maryannkeith4062]

I rarely have time to stop by lounges and they're so overrun these days that I'd rather pay less and skip the lounge.

[@jetsetter8004]

With rumors of delta and other airlines “unbundling” business class, I think JetBlue is making a good decision with no lounge access. It lowers prices which is one of their main selling points.

[@peterrisbergs7156]

There is no shortage of vendors selling alcohol in any airport I have ever been to . Terrible idea to get drunk before boarding a plane. No lounge for me.

[@machintrucGaming]

@@peterrisbergs7156 But the free food !!

[@JediTev]

Unbundling? They already have. United at SFO you have to be in Polaris international flight or Newark first class to get in for free. I was very disappointed when I had 1st class to Vegas a few years ago and could get in

[@hughofIreland]

@@JediTevYou can only get access to a United Polaris lounge if you’re flying Polaris class in a long haul, international flight. There’s no mechanism to pay to use the lounge. Access can also be had by passengers in business on a long-haul international Star Alliance carrier. If you’re flying true, international first class on a *A carrier (offered by Lufthansa, but not by United), you can bring a companion into the lounge.

[@jetsetter8004]

@@JediTev It’s standard for airlines not to allow lounge access for domestic First Class. This is and has always been the case for a while now.

I’d take the lie-flat seat, the great food choices, excellent service and the amazing price any day over lounge access!

[@halgerson]

As you experienced, most mainstream lounges these days are so crowded that they're not really worth it. Unless it's one of the luxury lounges from like the Middle Eastern airlines, with a la carte food and table service and such, I'd gladly skip it if it meant a noticeably cheaper ticket. I'd honestly skip most of the perks on the plane, too. For the most part, I'm just paying for the larger seat, not free booze and free checked bags that I don't even use anyway.

[@MC-di7op]

LH/LX first lounges blow any middle eastern carrier out of the water though

[@jokerface20]

absolutely, I wish I could purchase a business class seat without alcohol included for a cheaper price

[@steventeleky3350]

Jeb, you seriously have the best air travel KZbin channel. It’s crazy

[@iamkalika]

Not having a lounge in such an interesting international airport is no big deal. There is so much to see and do that even with hours to kill it’s hard to get bored. For that price there is no question.

[@ryanmatthew511]

Agree... and Delta/KLM lounges are crowded homeless shelters these days.. not even worth going in.

[@jeremypearson6852]

As a former airline employee (both sides of the Atlantic) I got spoilt traveling Business and First long haul as a pass rider. I love the option of choosing the meal on the plane. I don’t know how I’d feel about that long a trip on a single aisle aircraft, since I’ve never done it before. Your seat did look a bit tight to me. A lounge for me is just an added frill, unless you have a serious wait time or a delay. A British expat watching in Florida.

[@MaineScouter]

Two thoughts: First, the little snippets at the end, awesome. Lounge? Don't care, rather walk around the airport before sitting for 8-20 hours (I have traveled quite a bit).

I’ve seen economy/coach fares on domestic flights of much shorter duration between two crew bases for not much less, especially considering the price Jeb and Suzanne paid included an onward connection.

[@andrelam9898]

I started visiting the Schiphol "sky Deck" back in the mid 1970's. The airport was a fraction of the size then then it is today. My dad flew for business often and with one car in the family (very typical for Dutch families back then), we'd be there to pick him up after his mulli-week business trips. A visit to the Sky Deck was a great way to kill time and the excitement of seeing the airplanes come and go. With my dad working for Fokker, I grew up around aircraft. We could see the factory on the far side of the airport. Great memories. I also remember when they added the train station opposite the arrival hall, in what was formerly the parking lot. Then in the 1990's they extended the arrival hall to completely cover the train station so it's now integral with the airport.

[@dan4500]

Cheaper lay flat seats > lounge access, depending on your credit card, you can always get into another lounge anyways!

[@Powderlover1]

I do not have a positive opinion of any airline. Except for jet blue, they really are different. I once had a 3 hour delay flying to the Bahamas, and not only did a wonderful staff member spend those three hours calmly explaining the situation, the solution they had, and doing so with a smile, but they also brought us waters/sodas, and even a sandwich. I was in economy, I wouldn’t have gotten a sandwich if everything had gone well. That’s the only delay/issue I’ve ever had with them, and they went above and beyond to make things right. It’s a great company, support and fly them when you can.

[@deborahsobel3314]

I was thinking many business class travelers have access to lounges through their credit card so I think it fine that Jet Blue doesn't. You are right; seat design can be improved upon but overall a wonderful experience for the money.

[@AG-Consulting]

My thoughts exactly. Plus even if you don't many airports you can pay for lounger access for around 50 Euros or so, considering how much cheaper the ticket is, it's well worth it.

[@HumblElephant]

[@bryantsteury8910]

[@nick02053]

We flew JetBlue Mint from Boston to London earlier this year, and agree with most of your comments. The only real issue was that the food ordering system on board crashed TWICE before any service, so it might just as well have not existed! For us, the small seat size (compared to business flights on other carriers) is a killer - we both needed more space than was available in the lie-flat - and the larger suites weren't on that plane unfortunately.

[@jhonkimble]

Jeb!! Please do Southwest vs. Breeze vs. JetBlue (Economy) vs. SunCountry! I loved your ULCC video. PLEASE do a LCC comparison!!

[@pedro380085]

[@philkeeve6577]

I flew from SLC to London and back in jetBlue's Core seats. I'm glad I changed my flights to depart from Heathrow since the LGW-BOS flights didn't serve hot food in Core. However, it was extremely comfortable and seamless. The ability to choose meals is amazing, and the crews were fantastic. Would do it again! I don't necessarily care about lounge access unless I know it's going to be good.

[@di11yo]

Great video. We flew from DC to Paris last May on jetBlue’s mint and had a great experience. We had a 3hr layover in Boston and stayed in the Chase Sapphire lounge. In my opinion, no jetBlue lounge access to offset the ticket prices is a relief. It also helps when you have access to other lounges.

[@darrelb4371]

I don't see a lack of lounge access as a problem at all. I think the lack of lounge access is more of a problem for people who have come to expect a lounge as an essential part of their travel experience and who, probably, can more easily afford to live life a little more luxuriously. JetBlue's offer of a business class experience at a cheaper price appeals to people like me who are in the lower middle class and for whom this kind of experience would be nothing less than an indulgence. Thanks for sharing your experience Jeb and Suzanne. It definitely is useful information given in an entertaining way.

I have flown JetBlue Mint, and I don't miss lounge access a bit. Airport lounges have become terribly overcrowded, and remember there's no such thing as a free lunch. Fighting crowds in airport lounges just to eat substandard food is not my cup of tea. As you found on this flight, JetBlue's Mint meal service is excellent. So for me, getting on the plane with an appetite to enjoy their good food is a bonus.

Were you at least able to go to the Chase Sapphire Lounge in Boston in your layover? I just went to it earlier this month and it's easily the best domestic priority pass lounge.

We flew round trip Boston to Dublin last summer on Mint. We're hard-core first class travelers if the flight is longer than two hours. The westbound trip is always fine, no matter what airline, but the eastbound trip is brutal, the older I get. British Airways is probably the best, but very pricy. Virgin is pretty good, though on the eastbound flight, for a good price. And, they have a really nice first-class lounge at the departure airports.

[@ImperatorSupreme]

I flew JetBlue Mint LAX -> JFK last year on my birthday. In the alternating 2-2/1-1 configured A321. Had a truly excellent crew, received a happy birthday, good food, and got some much needed sleep. I don’t care too much for lounge access, priority pass covers that to an extent, and Mint is otherwise an excellent business class product. Even if the 2-2/1-1 configuration is showing its age.

[@pierrecusmybladdersempty1938]

New Jeb video! As always, you and Susan do a great job with being objective with your reviews! As for the lounge, I've never flown international (want to someday) so I've never used a lounge. The longest time I've spent in an airport was 5.5 hours (O'Hare) and I was able to walk around to see the cool stuff there and find some good seats to use my computer when needed. For me, I don't need a lounge because I enjoy walking around airports to stretch my legs and see what there is, but that's not to say I wouldn't ever use one if I had the opportunity. Maybe one day!
