JetBlue Mint Suite JFK - LHR Trip Report

Could this secret gem be the best way to cross the Atlantic in Business Class? Introducing JetBlue's Mint Suite, the standard business class product flying on JetBlue from London, Amsterdam and Paris to the East Coast of the US.
JetBlue offers all-aisle-acces, additional privacy thanks to doors and an epic food and drink proposition that should make other carriers sit up and take note. But can a narrow body really compete with the legacy wide-bodied carriers that have called this prestigious their home for decades? Let us know if you think the product stacks up in this JetBlue business class flight review.

Retired from Delta and just retired from Jetblue in 2020 because of covid, now with American. I have to say jetblue was the best airline to work for. Im so proud that jetblue has kept up the fantastic service, I miss working there.

[@Mavi-de2mv]

I have so much respect for this airline

[@thedesignairvideo]

Great to hear!

[@robertmansfield2856]

I have booked to fly with JetBlue from LGW to New York in July 24 and having see this video is one of the reasons I am flying with them.

[@thedesignairvideo]

Great to hear it! Let me know how the flight goes!

[@robertmansfield2856]

What struck me with your video was how friendly and efficient the cabin crew were. and of course that makes all the difference. One last thing. Can you tell me the name of the backing track being played at the end of the video when you were placing your breakfast order.

The onboard food service compared to BA business class on the JFK-LHR route looks amazing! Very impressive.

[@MySkyranger]

Don’t forget that the takeoff and landing without background music is important to us aviation geeks.

[@thedesignairvideo]

Noted! ;-)

[@dylansmith1833]

This video was amazing! I’m so excited to fly JetBlue mint to London this weekend!

[@boldmover]

I will be flying Jetblue Mint on July 3rd. I am looking forward to my flight to London. Further, it will be special because I will be flying with my granddaughter. I will come back and share my experience.

Im the second ! Always a professional informative critique from DesignAir ! Great energy .. Jet Blue should be justly proud of their product , and grateful to DesignAir for their honest informative appraisal . Job Well done !

[@ericericson3535]

I used to work for American, but Jet Blue is my favorite. Especially since I fly out of PBI and there are a lot of non-stops.

[@easye1311]

Wow just wow I can n only dream to fly on the mint suites! That service looked absolutely perfect especially the food...I wonder what the economy serves.

Have been watching a number of airline review channels, and the algorithm suggested yours to me, a great video Jonny!

[@thedesignairvideo]

Thanks Dolphin! Please do subscribe!

[@dolphinyu6067]

@@thedesignairvideo already did Jonny, are you still flying yourself I wonder? Or focus on the ground now.

[@dylan.2050]

I give it 100/10 for JetBlue mint

[@thedesignairvideo]

Glad to hear it! So would I!

[@Dialoguematters]

well done!! Very informative!! Great images!

[@thedesignairvideo]

Thanks once again Vitor! I think you've watched all of them now! haha.

Great travelog...more please...

Just released the Qantas review, you should check it out

[@WysteriaGuitar]

@@thedesignairvideo Thanks!

[@johngigante3294]

Nice to see a review of the suite seat as most other video reviews always go for the studio. Looking forward to flying mint to Amsterdam next month

[@clairemurray3202]

Looks worth a try!

[@leticiacancel8327]

Great video! I have watched similar videos but yours added little details that other videos did not. It was also nice to see a video that was not the red eye since I will be on this same flight in a few months.

[@Bacchusmbt]

Impressive, Jet Blue! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Richard.Charles.S]

Going to be giving this a try! ❤️ Thanks Jonny 😉

[@libanaden5183]

JetBlue is buying Spirit Airline and if that transaction gets finalized, JetBlue will get bigger and it is a great news for the customers.

[@thedesignairvideo]

Absolutely!

[@kevinaero5586]

Less competition is never good for customers

[@swvwest]

I have mixed feelings about the merger. While JetBlue needs a bigger network of routes to compete against bigger airline networks and loyalty programs to attract more customers. Mergers never go well in the beginning, history has shown us that with 2 different companies merging leads to clashes in cultures and organizational operation. The clash of cultures leads to inconsistency of the business model until it reaches its new level of cohesion. These to Airlines have very different models of doing business with JetBlue focusing on a more service oriented approach with reasonable pricing. Spirt business is based on the traveler that travels by fare alone and has rather low onboard service. I guess we will see what the future holds. Until then, I wish them the best of luck.

[@brianmichaels5112]

I still think United Polaris is the best Business class a US based carrier has to offer on international routes. That said this is very impressive from Jet Blue. The ordering on the touch screen and amenity kits were great and free WiFi. My one thing is flying across the ocean on a tiny jet. I have a hard enough time with the 787 and A350. I am more comfortable in a wide body like the 777, A330, and especially in the 747 and A380. But again UA, American , Delta - take note of the amazing looking food and presentation , hospitality and great great cabin set up. Dam they are coming for you !!!!!!!

[@Pammie143]

If this is tiny what are private jets? 👀

[@readytogo5905]

I'm the first one who left the comments !!! nice job high-quality video

Wonderful

[@nickaston2468]

Jetblue are going to be my go to airline for crossing the Atlantic from now on. I just had a disastrous experience with British Airways. Cancelled flight from LHR to LAX then they cancelled me off an AA flight that was supposed to get me back to LA. I ended up flying Virgin Atlantic to Atlanta at great expense. BA's customer service is awful and they have lost me a customer.

[@jermainehenry7180]

I’ve just had a similar experience with BA, they canceled my flight and gave me no alternative flight! Just a refund on my return flight back to U.S. So I’m left to book with another airline, or be stranded in the UK. I’m booked with JetBlue for tomorrow morning and using their Mint class, excited! I intend on filing a strong complaint with BA.

[@jtgh922]

Amazing video! Can you post song in the background

[@thedesignairvideo]

Which one are you after?

[@SandyCanetti]

I have a question. Looking at the seat configuration, it's hard to figure out which are the better pair of seats to choose if traveling with a partner. Next to each other or across the aisle?

[@MarioProvini]

Did the blue tinted lighting bother you?

[@thedesignairvideo]

Not at all, i loved it!

[@MrShaunG]

JetBlue terminal at JFK always packed. I would be extremely surprised and worried something went wrong if it wasn’t 😂

[@SJF15]

Do they take the headphones back to stop people pinching them? 😂

[@mauriciomaclean5397]

And the price please Thanks

[@thedesignairvideo]

Mine was circa $2k return, but they can be cheaper if you book far enough in advance.

[@stevemana1749]

We just arrived in LAX after a terrible JetBlue Mint experience. Basically 4.5 hours of delay and then no one notified us that there was NO FOOD on the 6 hours of transcontinental flight. A horrible experience. Just another example of the poor state of air service in the US. It sucked, don't fly JetBlue, it's a very poor value at best!!!
