Flights on economy to Europe cost $1300 for me How

[@triniqg]

Hey Dan, just FYI, because you may not know this. But US carriers do clean your laboratories throughout the flight. You may not have noticed it but they do. Since the pandemic it has been pushed towards that. Especially on long haul and ultra long haul flights.

I thought u didn’t do sponsorships since ur self funded. Sorry to be like that but I wanna know😅

[@rajun1231]

Dan, who makes the mic you use?

[@iKvetch558]

JetBlue has been my favorite US airline for LONG time. I have had to pretty much give up on all the other due to customer service and luggage issues, but JetBlue has never left me hanging with any bullcrap.

[@joseadorno292]

Same! I love JetBlue so much!

[@harrydestaffano565]

Jet Blue was bloody awful when I flew it recently The crew were unfriendly, the seat was lumpy and there was no audio on the video. The food was boil in the bag quality, the previous passenger had left a can and cup in the seat pocket. Avoid Jet Blue. I will not be traveling Jet Blue again.

[@joseadorno292]

@@harrydestaffano565 That’s sad, I’ve never had a bad experience with them!

[@glengamble526]

Great comment, but you got my CHECK simply cause of your awesome use 9f the word ‘bullcrap’. A sorely under-used phrase.

[@haute03]

Same! I'm a huge JetBlue fan!

[@glengamble526]

I’ve been subbing/follower of NSD for years now…and I STILL love his enthusiasm and appreciation for even the littlest things. I too use the credo of the ‘metal tube in the sky’ analogy and never lose my sense of wonder over the miracle of modern flight itself, never mind the extras like being able to lie down in a bed (in the sky!) and eat good food, watch movies etc. My attitude is gratitude.

Great video Mr Gonzalez

[@andrewfusco7824]

I’ve flown Mint domestic several times and have only had positive experiences onboard. Aside from frequent delays that seem to plague JetBlue, onboard service was top notch.

[@apa182]

As a person who only flies economy, Jetblue is the MOST underrated airline in the US. Just way better than all the bigger ones.

[@Wintershot]

Jetblue is the only US airline worth flying on.

[@BMRS03]

I love Mint. But the major issue is the insane cost. I used to be able to go from BOS to SFO for around $1400. But over the last two years, I can’t seem to find any for under $2500. That is a lot of money for a 5-6h flight

[@b0tterman]

I'm a regular flyer of United and Delta and I keep using them bc I have so many points. But they absolutely blow. I had work pay for Mint from JFK to LAX and I can confirm it's amazing.

[@Calebs_Aviation]

Great video Dan! Loved this one a lot! I cannot wait to try JetBlue someday as I’ve never flown them before even domestically in Economy. 😂 I hope to try their A321LR from JFK-LHR 🇬🇧 the route you flew today and hopefully XLR someday once they get it! Cheers 🥂 my new friend loved this so very much! Also I don’t mind one advert but PRACTICALLY NONSTOP ADS for the Insta360 Camera I really didn’t care for! Plz pull back on that in the future that’s my only complaint! -Caleb’s Aviation 😎

[@JfkAvgeek]

YESS Im mosaic on JetBlue and always waited for the day Dan would make a new review

[@vidittapadia3256]

when you mentioned you flying a us airline on the podcast and didn't start mentioning the downsides, I immediately knew that it was jetblue😭

[@EhabAboud]

The product matchup between JetBlue and this camera is absolutely perfect. Chef's kiss, honestly! When it comes to thinking of the added innovation that dramatically enhances the experience for customers, I now associate with both of these brands. Lovely 🙌🏼

[@mizbbalstr007]

Jet blue is also my favorite for domestic travel. They are the only airline that gives, not just a drink included in an economy ticket, but snacks too. And you can have as much as you want. If you want pretzels and chips and a cookie, they’ll give it to you. If you want to refill mid flight, they have a self serve station. Every other airline charges for snacks

[@quivop7759]

I think we should all start to call you Mr. Gonzales!

[@adderva]

I love your videos so much and they helped inspire me to become a pilot. I really hope you keep up the great and helpful content!

[@BrenonaPlen]

Hey Dan! Long time fan, and Jetblue Transatlantic Crewmember. Your review is so touching and those of us involved in JetBlue's transatlantic product are incredibly proud and protective of the product we provide for reactions just like yours. Unfortunately we're seeing some changes especially in Core due to cost cutting that you may see in the news, such as the cold meals. But, hopefully in the future this will change back to the hot food options everyone loved. And honestly, the flavor of the cold food isn't bad. The curtain issue is something we get a lot. I personally agree. According to the company it's meant to provide a more open and "egalitarian" approach. Keeping the plane open for all regardless of what class they book. However, we are also encouraged to keep the front lavatories primarily for mint customers use. Can't wait for our lounges to open later next year and see what you think. Hope to see you aboard one of my flights soon. Cheers!

[@rohithamruthur]

I flew JetBlue Mint once from BOS to SEA in March of last year. On the menu was Cacio e Pepe, which is a notoriously hard dish to get right even on the ground. I was skeptical, but decided to give it a go since it's one of my favorite dishes. I was blown away by how it compared to high-end restaurants I've had it at. I hope JetBlue is able to turn it around financially; they are truly the best US airline across the board (except for the lack of lounges, which will change next year).

[@abushfield71]

I rode on that very flight to London 2 years ago with the wife and High School graduate son for a month long vacation through Europe. They were amazing as you said. Glad you finally got to try them out.

[@pianotips2623]

Funny how many times you say ‘the best’ and ‘one of the best’ in almost every video so the word kind of loses it’s meaning.

[@andreeldridge8457]

Everyone’s video must say best or worst to ensure someone clicks on it👎🏽

[@penvich]

“One of the best” in the world. “The best” in America. 2 different things. Not to mention that an airline can improve and get worse so it’s not a fix thing. Cheers😊

[@Re3iRtH]

Gets you to click.

[@alamgudiel7663]

Don’t think he uses the “best” in many USA carriers 😅

[@laraabiona903]

Trust me, he usually can't stand US airlines, so this means something

[@chowchillachuck]

I like jetBlue. Not perfect but, it's my go to choice from SFO to JFK or BOS.

[@the7starfighters]

I feel like we don't appreciate JetBlue as much because we got the first impression of it as an LCC, so we naturally group it with other LCCs like Southwest. I feel like if they made a child company that was only dedicated to these more long-haul routes, they would probably fare much better because most people would see it as a regular airline

[@ummangonline]

Been waiting for this review for a long, long time.

[@airbus7373]

Not long after I asked for it, here it is. Jetblue was able to figure out some local restaurants to get their catering from (even in economy) instead of using the traditional crappy catering providers out of JFK. Awesome video Dan

[@pranavtiwari3976]

I have never been this early! This is gonna be a good video!

[@lmjr400]

Thanks Mr Gonzalez ..

[@PainReaverX2]

Dan you look so happy, relaxed, and mysig in this video!

[@mmgando]

Thank you so much, Dan! I love jetblue and your channel! Thanks!

[@krisg71]

Completely agree! I've taken this exact flight. It is AWESOME! On par with some international and way better than other US carriers.

[@hollygrace6814]

Im an Aussie, never been to the USA yet before. Is Jetblue a new airline or upgraded ? this is unreal especially for a USA carrier!! wow

[@dennismcmahonfilms]

Enjoy all your reviews! Nice to see Jet Blue service. All the best.

[@nonstops_aviation]

JetBlue is also my favorite US airline and I wouldn't mind flying them long haul one day just wish they flew to other long haul destinations like maybe when the A321XLR comes out, we can see them add long haul service from Fort Lauderdale to Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Buenos Aires, Argentina and even Santiago de Chile and can compete with LATAM, Aerolineas Argentinas and American.

[@alexmnblyth]

12:02 fresh, maybe why it’s called mint… 😂

[@mcnelson]

I have done Jet Blue from LGW to BOS and back and had a fantastic experience in economy. Walking past the Mint seats had me jealous and I really want to give them a go next time I need to get back to the US.

[@futuredk89]

I flew mint last year from JFK to AMS and it was an amazing experience.

[@MileHighFlyer]

Great video and no surprise your best US flight wasn't on one of the big 3 😁😁😁

[@vectorgen]

Huh. I've never flown JetBlue (i'm forced by circumstances to only fly AA) but for some reason I thought they were a low cost carrier like Spirit or something. You learn something new every day.

[@Derek-Adams]

Don’t worry, it’s a quite common misconception because of the “feel” of booking a flight on JetBlue. It feels as if you’re booking with a ultra low-coast carrier airline. There’s the base fare then all the fees come into play such as the seat you choose, fees for luggage, fees for carryon, fees for inflight entertainment, fees for oxygen [sarcasm]…just like the other low-cost airlines. JetBlue isn’t a bad airline but I, personally, have not had a good experience with them. Their business class is a great option - if you can snag a seat, they go quick - but their economy class seats are awful. AWFUL.

[@laurenm6511]

They used to be.

[@SystemaAlpha]

Oskar is so sweet and fun! More of him please!

JetBlue experience based on this video: Very demure, very mindful

[@j.domingo3319]

Great review! I'm glad you at least got a camera shot of the plane's name! Cuz his name is my name, too!

[@jt98116]

Good work as always. And JetBlue Mint has been far and away the best US transcon business class experience for a long time.

[@frjerryk]

Been wanting to try. Thanks for the encouragement!

[@brucewatt1032]

Very impressive. I don’t normally bother even looking at a US airline for a transatlantic flight, but I think I’ll give this one a go next time 👌

[@dontravels21]

If jetblue buys widebodies they would be a dream

I KNEWWWW it would be JetBlue, it's so slept on (no pun intended 🙈)

[@morgan97475]

Thanks for this. We'll look into flying with this group.

[@scottbedrosian7428]

Took it from Boston to Amsterdam. It is awesome!!

[@Minecraft-ue7ux]

A plastic glass 🤔 Love this seat, one day I'll fly in it.

[@jennys1487]

My only issue with JetBlue is that they have NO staff at their check in desks until 2 hours before the flight at airports outside of their hubs. This was a huge issue when flying internationally on a busy day because we had to use that desk so that they could check our visas, etc. They showed up at the 2 hour mark and spent nearly 30 minutes getting the computers up which gave an entire flight of people 90 minutes to get through their line, security, & get to the gate.

[@abmindprof]

The problem with Jet Blue is that they have such limited destinations in Europe. Unless you're going to London, you're outta luck. Also, their frequent flier program is worthless unless you stick with them. Before when they were AA partners, I'd totally fly with them. But, I'm go to Barcelona. So no luck.

[@JDgo]

Thanks Dan for sharing your wonderful thoughts on this amazing Jet Blue "Luxury" accommodation cabin in the sky! I have heard of 'mint' before but, until now, I had no idea how great it really is! Bravo to Jet Blue!! A nice surprise; thanks again for showing.

[@laurenm6511]

THANK YOU!! I have had major medical issues that prevented me from travel but I booked Bos to LAX for feb . Specifically one of the newer configurations. And this is great to see.

[@missybelmont9830]

I'm totally sold, Dan!

[@lilstergee]

I suspect that one of the reasons the food tastes good is that they are cooking that menu in small batches. Just how many portions of MINT transatlantic meals do they need to make a day? Probably less than 300 of each. That’s a whole different kind of catering to the legacy carriers.

[@alamgudiel7663]

Can you believe we’re getting two Jet Blue lounges next year!!

[@kikyochan66]

JetBlue has the best service compared to other major US carriers, the crew is happy and helpful

[@tarenrome3740]

I just flew mint from JFK to SFO and it was great. Even with the two across seats the food was really good the seat was super comfortable. And the best part about it was I upgraded at the airport and it was like 449 for the upgrade!

[@antoniowood8119]

I’ve flown out of JFK many times on Delta and once on VS and I’ve thought it’s always great. On VS it was Chicken Wrapped in Bacon and it was fire!

[@mattball2700]

Thanks for noting the miracle of modern flight!

[@rheaa1400]

[@_Smirky]

This was a fantastic video. One of my favorites I’ve seen from you Dan!

[@magnustan841]

Happy to see you’ve enjoyed your flight, Dan. JetBlue in my eyes have always been a hybrid carrier, even from day 1, offering seat back entertainment, live TV and extra legroom for reasonable money. I hope they continue to expand that presence slowly across the US, instead of doing it the “easy way”, by trying to buy this airline, buy that airline and getting into all sorts of DOJ trouble lol. Like just expand your presence and continue to do what you do so well! 😂

[@TonyG-gk7qr]

We trust you Dan! JetBlue from LA to Miami in Mint was mind blowijg 😊

[@toddlevin]

On Jet Blue Mint in a few days to Las Vegas from JFK. Looking forward to it as always - totally agree - great crews, great food, great seating, makes travel an absolute pleasure...wishing you good travels!

[@welcomematt22]

As soon as I heard the "David" part I knew it had to be Love Actually 😂 also one of my best

[@jeadie2273]

I fly JetBlue all the time between Cleveland and Boston. Recently flew them for the first time from Cleveland to Amsterdam via Boston. We were in economy and it was fantastic. Great food, great service. Decent legroom and seats were pretty comfortable. Pantry was nice for snacks. The new A321neo was nice and modern. Entertainment system was good. Would like to try the mint suites at some point.

[@Andonarzoian]

I flew jet blue economy class from KRNO-KLAX and I was impressed. I got free IFE on a 1:30 hour flight

[@matthewhart5365]

Finally! A [slightly] different airline but at least this is [slightly different and] interesting!

[@afinet1364]

I usually fly Air France business to Paris but I am flying Mint for the first time to France in December, your review tells me I made the right choice :)

Loved the TWA at JFK Terminal 5. My dad used to fly for them before they were taken over by American.

[@jdenner04]

JFK lounge should be open Q4 2025, Boston lounge mid-2026. Might be a contract lounge at some other airports such as LHR, LAX, etc., still working out those plans.

[@maryellen5568]

Oooo I love the new perspective with that Insta360! Its like a mini vlog inside of a flight review! I've flown Jetblue, not internationally, but I flew on the old mint. I almost flew on the new mint, but my plane got swapped :(

[@futurepaver2039]

Thank you for making this video! I have been wanting to see your impressions on JetBlue Mint for a long time and I don't think I've clicked on an airline video this quickly before. JetBlue did explain in a video from 2013 on KZbin why they chose not to add a curtain between business and economy however
