JetBlue A321 Mint Experience from Newark to St. Maarten

Watch this video to see the JetBlue Mint Experience and decide whether you want to book jetBlue’s Classic Mint Business Class to the Caribbean!
There aren’t very many ways to enjoy a lie flat seat from the United States to Caribbean destinations, but jetBlue’s Mint is one.
In this video, you’ll see jetBlue’s Classic Mint seat, the Mint food, jetBlue’s inflight entertainment, and you’ll even experience jetBlue’s Mint Service onboard this A321 from Newark to St. Maarten!
This jetBlue A321 is called "Fly In Mint Condition." It's a jetBlue A321 Mint equipped airplane with jetBlue Classic Mint installed. That's the older, original version of Mint. In this video, I'll even explain the difference between jetBlue's Refreshed Mint and jetBlue Classic Mint. You'll also see why this is the best jetBlue Mint for Couples!

It’s SehMahteh if you’re on the French side, Sint Maaaartin on the Dutch side.

[@vanessam.2007]

I’m so proud to see you on my island (I’m a relatively new subbie) and that you were respectful enough to find out how the locals pronounced St. Maarten. I hope you truly enjoyed your time here.

[@gulyagumerova8009]

Ya 0:54

[@gulyagumerova8009]

I saw your comment right as I started

[@spenceradams2908]

I love flying JetBlue from ny to Florida and they have been amazing every time cannot recommended them enough

[@johng1943]

I don’t know which the most jaw dropping moment was, thinking Pierce Brosnan was the best James Bond or you being satisfied with the headphones provided by the airline.

[@ziaurkhan9908]

I agree on 'Goldeneye' being the best Bond film, and so do others my age. It just felt different right after the end of the Cold War. Plus it's also an 'age group' thing for those of us who were coming of age at the time. 90s were the best decade ever!

[@briannabenson4173]

While I agree Pierce Brosnan is the only true James Bond, I like Die Another Day better than Goldeneye.

[@deniseyoung3738]

St Maarten is one of our favorite places on Earth! Thanks for showing us the Jet Blue experience. Our last trip was on American First Class, and wasn't bad.

[@rogaviation7809]

Great video Jeb! Mint is close to being one of the best first classes in the U.S. The food Is great the seat has enough privacy and the flight attendants do their best to help everyone. I hope you and Suzanne had a great flight and will have a good visit at St. Maarten! And cya in the sky!🙂🛫👍

[@Grazilla52]

Great review as always Jeb & Suzanne! JetBlue has been my domestic go-to airline (along w/Delta) since United bailed on JFK. But please take that flight to London-I have that trip on my post-pandemic Bucket List!

[@tomwillard7251]

Definitely take B6 over to LHR. I’m taking them next month myself. I enjoy the return trip Caribbean Mint food as it’s Caribbean inspired and detours from the usual transcon menu selection. Thanks for a great trip review. Also- I fly out of EWR a lot and with the new construction on terminal A reducing gates, leading to more flights out of B, it’s a great mention to get there very early. Morning flights are packed now days.

[@jonathanmartens8332]

Nothing makes a Saturday without Jeb flying somewhere awesome. Keep it up jeb!!

[@robertmcneill7144]

As an old guy of 70 I love all James Bonds equally over the years.This is not unlike your love of many types of aircraft or my love of Jeb videos, this one, by the way was quite smashing!

[@GenkisTravels]

Great video! I just recently flew Classic Mint and loved it!

[@boatlover1875]

Yes, can't wait for the Maho Beach vlog. One of my favorite places in the Caribbean.

[@simondlatham5939]

Uk is totally open now to fully vaccinated passengers. As of 11th February, no pre-departure testing, no quarantine, nor any tests after you land. Just a passenger locator form in addition to normal travel documentation. So YES, definitely come and enjoy UK. I live by gatwick, so can help if any local travel advice needed too

[@GLAFly]

I'm sorry Jeb, but you're completely wrong. Only Sean Connery takes the "best Bond" title :-). Of course, I'm Scottish and may be *slightly* biased :-). Great video as always - I flew Mint Classic for the first time back in November from SFO to JFK - found the seat and the service to be fantastic (I was solo travelling, so managed to snag a "throne" seat in 4A. While we might not agree on our favourite "Bonds", we can agree that the catering quality offered by jetBlue is (air)miles ahead of anything else the legacy US carriers offer on their flights. Really hope to get a chance to fly with them again in the future, but would be great if they introduced lounge access (and maybe even partner with OneWorld or another alliance).

[@person-hg3sq]

Amazing flight. Amazing Destination.

[@dumbsauce1]

I love flying with JetBlue. Thank you for doing this! You should totally fly with them to London

[@kfing1]

Handy to know when I visit the US later this year. I hear good things about JetBlue.

[@alecairpaag]

I love my Saturday morning cartoo... feed of aviation videos one after another one.👍👍🛫📺

[@Jprice141788]

I was really nervous about the eggs on a plane (because a hotel can barely do it) but JetBlue's "Plane Eats" Menu on a Mint flight was SO GOOD. I was blown away. Best breakfast on a plane hands down.

[@xjm40]

Ok, I'll overlook the bond mentioned with that said great communication and great interaction.

[@pinchy08]

Welcome to beautiful St. Maarten. Especially on JetBlue classic Mint. I love that airport in St. Maarten. A beach right behind the airports runway. An avgeeks paradise in the Caribbean. If you have time, do a plane spotting video in St. Maarten on the beach.

[@kbroadhead10]

I suspect one's favourite Bond depends on the first new Bond movie you saw in the cinema. For me, louche and wooden Roger Moore! I've only ever done Y on B6 (tourist travelling with the whole family), but would happily try mint transcon. Given some of the current catering on other airlines (UA talking about you), it's easy to make up fo lack of lounge. As for London, I'm still not convinced about narrowbodies on medium haul over water, but try if you must :)

[@youripoort1288]

Welcome to SXM. Hope you like it here. I live right next to the airport. So much fun spotting the planes everyday

[@Handburdger]

Beautiful white dial SMP 300 Jeb! Fantastic video as always :)

[@KarlMathiasMoberg]

Agree completely. Pierce Brosnan in Golden Eye is absolutely brilliant. There are very good arguments for all the other actors that played Bond too, but Golden Eye is up there as one of the pinnacles of Bond!

[@denisebonnell7610]

I am craving bacon now. It looked so good!!! Excellent video, Jeb and Suzanne. I love flying with you - wherever you go!! Safe travels!

[@Ian-vx2xg]

Great video! I'd like to see you take JetBlue to London. After seeing the British Airways lounge in EWR and the BA jet in Goldeneye, made me think I'd love to see you take British Airways (new Club Suite) across the Atlantic.

[@GerradKesselman]

You and Suzanne have an awesome channel! Hoping to run into y’all in the airport one day here in ATL! I weirdly always look for you while going through the terminal. You never know! Lol 😂

[@Kaviationfilms]

Awesome job! I’m considering on trying out JetBlue, as I haven’t been on the airline. But I’m pretty positive that the airline is one of the best out there . The views at Sint Maarten are so great!

[@ManmohanMohanty]

Would you like to check out some nice reviews from Down under?

[@batesman6194]

Yes I would love to see the trip to London!

[@garystrankman3841]

"I respect your right to be wrong" savage Jeb!! (lol)

[@jonathanbenny9448]

I agree, Goldeneye is by far the best James Bond film of the franchise. Jet Blue is fantastic airline, really catching up to the big leagues.

[@PierAlexandreLemay]

Cannot agree more about Pierce in GoldenEye. It was the first Bond I watched as a teenager and to this day one of my favorites with casino royale and Skyfall!! But as a separate movie not linked with others it's the absolute best!!!

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Awesome video guys!😸

[@MrBozzvegas]

Thanks Jen for another great video……Londons’s Calling

[@ajaviation646]

great video jeb!!

[@irishwarrior35]

Brilliant video Jeb. I have been hesitant to fly JetBlue (don’t know why)….This really has me thinking it’s time to fly JetBlue

[@ferrarogaming223]

This is a non updated interior obviously, I took their new interiors which are on almost all A320s now and their new first class on the 321 is coming soon to all planes! Much more updated and the screens are super fast now, love the vid!

[@jrc971]

I Love You Two! Thanks ♡ Please do a Hotel review!

[@luisgarciagonzalez726]

Of course you should fly JetBlue to London. Those seats are amazing. And London is always a good plan!

[@andrewhansen3085]

Been waiting forever for you to go here. My fav place in the world. !!!!

[@andrewhansen3085]

I’ve got some cool pics I could share if you’re interested. Just don’t see how to post them here. With an a340 and klm 747. I could go there and just live on the beach watching the flights 24/7. Last time I was there Oct 2015. Watching KC royals victory parade with planes landing. =the dream. Thanks for the video and the love. See ya in the skies or on the beach 😁

[@skylineXpert]

The best flight to SXM was halted after 2016. nothing beats KL785 Had a view inside from the terminal from temporary departures In 19' and It looked like they were making progress on rebuilding

[@flybot8687]

Needs to get on my list, right after l get Breeze taken care of...👌

[@hsbvt]

I loved going to St. M! My husband used to work for JB and yes, we flew for free. I have to agree, the IFE is dated, but glad there was 'something'. And the snacks never end! They do have a great food experience for sure! Trying to tell the husband we were on vacation as he's cleaning the seat before we sat down...that was the only challenge I had. HAHA "First flight of the day with this plane and the window is smudged! Did they even TRY to clean last night?!?" Proceeds to the galley to get a towel and water...🤣

[@mandepilot]

Wow, Supergoop in an amenity kit....nice grab (love their products).

[@dianeschroeder3980]

I’ve entertained myself for hours upon hours at Princess Juliana Airport. If you’ve never been there, it’s a must do experience for any AvGeek!❤️👍✈️

[@MrKevinH]

Another great video. Would love to see the Mint flight to LHR.

[@FBWFTW]

Glad to see the quinoa pancakes were good, ours were dry and the maple glazed bacon was to die for!

[@bradd3840]

Ah, the James Bond reference hence the Seamaster...well played sir. Keep up the great videos!

[@tenley480010]

St. Maarten is my home country. Great video.

[@luisstransport]

Great trip report

[@arshavin23_]

Great video!

[@edvaira6891]

I am also quite partial to Goldeneye, but I also really liked it’s follow up, as well as Thunderball…

[@TheFZY_YDrawsThings.0930]

Hi, I like all your videos! I have a question what is your next flight? I want to ask you because I am very excited!

[@reecedallison5764]

Great video. not going to lie, that person who had their feet up in the air had me laughing alot lol

[@gfrede1]

Another great video Jeb! And yesssss, Pierce Brosnan in Goldeneye is the best Bond!

[@ogjk]

I totally agree with you on Pierce Brosnan James Bond in Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64 though. Thats the best James Bond video game ever made. Great video again, keep up the awesome work. It

[@tuolumne9]

10000000%

[@jasongarufi8187]

Great review Jeb and yes Golden Eye is a great movie.

[@torgeirbrandsnes1916]

Great vlog as always! In C-Class Max 10mins after FS has been turned off if you ask me.

[@santinomamone2674]

Loved it once again jeb and Suzana 🙂 !!!!!!

[@stellarossaCPCU]

I was in 1A - Mint Studio - JFK-LGW in November. Recommend it although am going again later this year and have booked Mint Suites for the red eye and the Mint Studio for the return to USA. I found the studio wasn't necessary for the 6 hours and $300.

[@tericooper4769]

James Moore in Live and Let Die is the best in my opinion...I enjoy all your videos.

[@imme267]

Yes to the london trip!!!

[@whatever8282828]

"Sir, may I take your drink order?" "I'll have a croissant"

[@shsav2012]

Love watching your videos and way more than Sam Chui. Was wondering if during the course of this vacation that Utah or whatever did you fly into Saint Barts

[@sherliedecade3376]

Welcome to St Maarten! I'm a resident from there! Hope I can see you ahaha!

[@DaveysCards]

I know there was Sean Connery before Pierce but I definitely agree, especially having golden eye 64 in high nostalgic regard

[@cherylkavanagh3387]

Enjoyed this video. First (let's get this out of the way right up front), I absolutely agree with you about Pierce Brosnan as James Bond, although I do adore Sean Connery. Next, one of the first things that I noticed during the seat tour was the obvious grime and dirt in cracks and crevices. This aircraft is past due for a deep detailed cleaning. Finally, the beverage service should really start as soon as you are safely airborne, and menus should already have been in place so that orders could be taken immediately after the initial beverage service. I was rather surprised at the delay, so I assume that there was some sort of glitch somewhere. Looking forward to the next video!

[@ps4logic87]

My favourite American airline!!

[@thepinkyprincesspoetc.a.5767]

They just grounded a jet blue pilot today drunk over four times The legal limit...I have not flown since 1979...Good to see you got married...Luv ur channel!❤️🌸

[@tcoker6616]

I nailed the “Jeb Score”!!

[@nashleysk8er]

Definitely try and fly them to LHR. Can’t wait to try them between YVR and JFK. Hopefully with Mint.

[@speedskater89]

For some year, I've missed this video but I'm glad to be seeing it now. I do have to say that I can't believe how dirty the socket/plug was and how dirty the behind the seat netting storage was. That was pretty disgusting.

[@ZacharyT35]

Not sure if you have or not but I strongly recommend trying their refreshed A320s with updated screens etc. They're VERY nice for economy seating.

[@sergiolaurencio7534]

They are planning to do it on the future

[@kevinwright1562]

Yes we want to see you do mint suite to LHR

[@garciagomez9551]

I went on jetblue economy and it was great

[@sushifornico]

Flight Attendants should come up quick for the drinks first - food can wait a bit as they have to prepare. I guess something did go wrong. Cant wait for your footage of ST Maarten :-)

[@jasonrivera4112]

Jetblue IFE has been refreshed, you were on a plane that still has the older system. The newer system debuted shortly after the first Mint planes were introduced. If you fly Jetblue to London you will have the new system and the wifi works over water too. Also, jetblue had lounges in JFK and Boston and i would suspect the new terminal in EWR will have on a well.

[@flyingpooh]

Thatis the current IFE on the Classic Mint, the majority of Mint aircraft that serve the Mint routes. The refreshed IFE is only on the new Mint a/c. Additionally there are no lounges for mint...at all.

[@qdoggieqdoggie]

That was a big meal you finished Jeb! Lol but it did look good.

[@edrumsas5420]

Cool video. Was is Delta Comfort+ worth the upgrade- flying within the states 3.5 hour flight. Thanks

[@pezzamag0953]

Dude come & visit London! Fly JetBlue as I wanna see what they offer & make sure to take a trip on the Midland Mainline Train Route while you're here. You never know, I might just be driving the train you get on!

[@Josueeeeeeeeeee3]

Nice review

[@ldkellandshaw]

Brosnan was the first Bond I remember, and he's very good, but I do enjoy the edgier Bond portrayed by Daniel Craig.

[@Jack-rc8pc]

Nice man! I’m actually down here right now! Took American from SEA-MIA-STT (St. Thomas) and then going to St. Martin. Great video!

[@GreenerGrass]

Have fun!

[@Jack-rc8pc]

@@GreenerGrass I will! Im a tried and true Alaska flier and would love more of that content. Had a terrible flight with American but the most wonderful crew you could ask for. Gotta get Alaska flying direct to STT!

[@kevinwells4986]

Should have paid attention when you were in (or actually not in) the lounge. Otherwise I matched all of your other scores. I knew you would max out the food. My ex-fiance worked for Jet Blue, and I believe they have actually improved their service (since she left? That's a mean thing to say, and totally inaccurate - she was excellent at her job, just needed a better boyfriend). Regardless, I was glad you did this review. I need to take a few flights in the future, and I will lean towards Jet Blue again. I did love flying all over the country with her before, but I don't remember any of those flights being this nice. Thanks Jeb.

[@geoffreykigongo86]

Hey Jeb, speaking of Bond I'd love to see a video highlighting your watch collection! The Comments section on that would be...😅

[@TKNCHF]

I guessed 17 !! I would love to see the flight to London

[@mlamesq8]

I beg to differ in two ways, Jeb. First, my vote for best Bond is Roger Moore and second, I would’ve worn my favorite Bond watch, the Submariner, though I love that you had your Seamaster on for this video. I get it….. Goldeneye 😉

[@alecairpaag]

Definitely try London!👍👍

[@gopherdawg3457]

Poached egg on chickpeas sounds awesome

[@LoganAviation]

I’ll be trying the Mint Studio again later today! Seeing this video right before my flight makes me even more excited! Great video!

[@mimiwallen]

Well now! Why am I just learning about Mint on JB? I’m planning a UK trip in couple weeks so I’ll need to give it some more thought. As I’m usually so loyal to United.

[@JamCaff]

Great review do the London jet blue flight pleasssssse

[@NiccolaiStCroix]

Jeb, I usually agree with your opinions, but I don’t know about the Pierce Brosnan comment lol. Daniel Craig all day long! Love your content and wish you safe travels.

[@rocingmannyj499]

FYI: United has Polaris on its 777 from EWR New Jersey to SJU San Juan Puerto Rico. Also United has 2 lounges in terminal C at EWR.

[@shannonleigh72]

You should try Breeze and Azul Airlines. They were created by the same guy who started JetBlue.

[@michaelturner3150]

Can you do and review JetBlue Coach from NY or Boston to London? You have done Mint several times on JetBlue, but never coach on JetBlue. We have coach blue extra booked for next May from Boston to London.. Thanks

[@United1158]

Hey Jeb! Do you think you can do a comparison between every Delta Skyclub at Detroit airport (similar to the Atlanta video)? I’m flying Delta One on the A350 in June and I would like to know which club is the best. If you are able to do that, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

[@kaitlynmathews7570]

Definitely try JetBlue to LHR!!

[@spacenout_6946]

That seat was fiiilllltthyyyyy
