I took a ride on Jetblue's flaghip Mint Studio across the Atlantic from London - and found the experience didn't quite live up to my expectations.

As a current JetBlue pilot who’s a fan of your videos, I’ve been anxiously awaiting your review of our trans-Atlantic Mint service. I’m glad you enjoyed your ride from LHR-JFK. And hopefully one day we can compete with the other major (US) airlines on connecting flights with the premium product. *Bonus points as I’m also a Piper owner/pilot for the Cherokee shirt you wore on the video 👍🏼

I have flown the mint many times between JFK and Los Angeles or San Francisco. I have been pleased with the comfort of the plane (particularly the new mint studio seats) and the food. The lack of lounges is their biggest weakness. For those routes, the cost is competative with other airlines, and I think that Mint is better than most airlines domestic business or first class.

Everything I have heard about the Mint product is great, but its availability is just too limited. If Jet Blue wants to be serious about getting into the premium end of air service, they will need to make Mint available system wide (even if it's only 8 - 12 seats on most of their planes) and provide lounges at key locations like JFK.

The onboard product on jet blue seems like the one of the best transatlantic options , the studio almost seems like it is between business and first with a modern private seat and good food. As for the price im sure between LHR - JFK with early booking and off peak times the price would be way less possibly close to £900. In that respect that represents good value considering there hard product is better than most flagship airliners for the route only downside is of course the lounge

I got upgraded from a regular mint seat to the studio on a cross country flight in December. I actually prefer the seats in the back. The studio is too close to the flight attendants so you get to see their every move which I found distracting. Also, I prefer the old 2-1 mint setup where the seats are front facing. I like looking out when I fly and the newer set up is angled to where you have to look back and on to the side to see out the window. Still a great experience though and I would gladly do it again.

Thank you for reviewing this, Noel. With the exception of the broccoli dish, most of the food looked like typical low-cost carrier carb stodge. Blue is an unfortunate corporate colour because it gives the effect of living in an igloo (which oddly enough I do not equate with comfort!) and does not enhance the appearance of food. Amex or PP could have gotten you into the Plaza lounge at T2.

JetBlue is by far my favorite “budget” airline. My wife and I flew Spirit to NJ from FL then took JetBlue back. JetBlue absolutely blew Spirit out of the water. Spirit is the worst airline, I’ll never fly them again. As a bigger guy, JetBlue is much more comfortable with the size of the seat and the leg room (economy). Also having the ability to watch live tv during the flight is a big plus. JetBlue is worth the extra money compared to Spirit, Frontier or Allegiant, no question at all. I’ve always been satisfied with them the half dozen times I’ve flown with them.

Yep, I whole heartedly agree. I LOVE JetBlue, definitely my preferred US Airline. They have phenomenal flight attendants, spacious seats and great food. However, the whole charging Mint but flying economy for certain legs of the trip is not good. I recently booked a Mint flight from upstate NY to Aruba (had to connect in JFK). The flight from upstate NY to JFK had no Mint experience, which was fine because honestly it's only an hour flight and smaller plane. However, they did offer "Even More Space" seats. I thought surely because I had purchased the Mint ticket I would be able to select one of those seats for the first, short leg of my flight. I was wrong - they actually charged me extra money for those seats, just as if I had bought the entire ticket as an Economy flight. I thought this was absolutely crazy.

I had the pleasure of flying this from Dallas to London with a stopover in NYC. Not in first class, but the economy class was still wonderful. Quite a lot of legroom for economy, and a lot of amenities (chapstick, pillows, blankets, earplugs, etc). The food was also comparable to what you'd find at a restaurant on the ground. Also half the price of legacy airlines. I flew it just 2 weeks after you published this video and had no problems with it whatsoever. Maybe they saw your video and improved, who knows. Maybe JetBlue is the true first hybrid airline ever along with Air Premia & Zip Air Tokyo.

I've flown jet blue and they are by far the best "low cost" carrier. But I also see fail to see this product on a connecting flight. They charge premium and a half for this product and as you say, you get "short changed" with no lounge access and only businessclass barly half the way.

Priced too high for me at the moment. Really strongly considered them when they launched and had some excellent fares on offer for London to NYC. Now whenever I look they're more expensive than Upper Class with Virgin Atlantic, for example, and that's to have a worse flight schedule, no lounge etc and miss out on building loyalty with a big carrier. Would love to try, but not for *more* than a trip with one of the established ones.

Noel, yikes, you must have gotten the walk-up fare, or maybe it's different for UK originating flights? I've already done one round-trip JFK to LHR, and have another booked in May (JFK to LGW.) My first trip was US $795 round-trip (regular Mint, not Mint Studio.) My upcoming trip is US $1,593. ($995 for Mint plus $299 x2 for the Studio upgrades.) The first trip I booked soon after the route first became available. The second trip I booked because of the fare. The earlier you book, and on the least popular days, the better deal you get (obviously.) It wasn't that hard to find though on the website. The Jet Blue website has always been one of the easiest to book and change on for me. Again, maybe there's a different Jet Blue website for the UK. Anyway, for those who don't have Centurion access or Priority Pass, Jet Blue does have a lounge situation. It is what it is. The fast, free Wi-Fi on the plane is a huge plus though. My issues with Jet Blue are miles and JFK. I prefer United or BA for UK travel because I primarily fly out of EWR. Plus, I can use/accrue Star Alliance or oneworld miles. Regardless, the competition is welcome. My recommendation would be to use a VPN and see if you can book with USD on the US Jet Blue website. Lastly, for LHR to DIA, Jet Blue isn't a great option. BA has a daily non-stop to DIA.

And United also has a frequent LHR-DEN nonstop that I found good value. Must be doing OK because they’ve upgraded to a 787-9 from the -8 I took before the pandemic

Great review as always. I love B6 but they seem to have an identity issue. It's like they want to be a "best-in-class, value, discount, point2point yet international carrier that hubs in several US cities but doesn't have the scale to offer reasonable connection times". I mean c'mon. Pick a lane.

Looks nice. I'll probably never need to know the answer to this because I've never been able to afford business class but just out of curiosity, why would you want all those storage spaces? Aren't they just more places to forget and leave stuff behind?

it's all gimmicky, you don't need them and wouldn't use them. But then the same goes for practically everything, other than just a nice comfortable seat and good service that you'd expect on any business class flight, the rest is just gimmicky nonsense.

I flew from Gatwick to SJU via JFK with jetblue in economy and can't fault the product. Other airlines were charging over £350 each (return) for a similar product. The service and experience was way more than I expected. But agree with Noel in that the website and mobile app experience was dreadful and wouldn't allow you to do the most simple amendments. The highlight for me with jetblue though was actually how they dealt with a long delay on our return. Communication throughout was excellent and they even sent through the compensation to us the same day. No waiting around for weeks or chasing. As long as jetblue are flying from the UK to the US I wouldn't choose any other airline over them. Oh and did I mention free in-flight WiFi for everyone.
