The 'Mint, mint, wink wink' on the fuselage was just perfect.

[@MrDionysus23]

They name all their planes some variation of Blue or Mint.

[@moekitsune]

JetBlue's aircraft names are on point

[@jcspotter7322]

​@@moekitsuneyou could say their names are MINT

[@RatatatMatt]

Loved seeing Portsmouth (US) from the sky! I’ve done a lot of flight training there and flown commercial out of there once. Lovely airport.

[@joermnyc]

For me it’s “turbulence always starts as soon as you’re trying to take your drink from the flight attendant while trying not to spill it on your seat mate (or their laptop).”

[@adamrice617]

Good old Maldon sea salt from Essex, served on JetBlue!

[@Paul_Lucas]

Yes I noticed that too!

[@MP-uw1qc]

And Fairfield Crisps! Essex represents.

[@adamrice617]

@@MP-uw1qc Lovely. I’ve noticed Tiptree Jam absolutely everywhere too…Essex takeover!

[@michaelhall4095]

The most English comment I’ve ever seen! The bloke’s flying on an aircraft equipped with engines worth tens of millions of £, and you notice the sachet of worthless minerals from the coast of England 😂

[@r12004rewy]

Aircraft may cost millions but suite certainly looks well used

[@Matityahu755]

This is your first leg of your Japan/Asia trip? I can't wait to see the reviews. Safe travels Paul.

[@FalconsEye58094]

Once I return to Europe, The Netherlands are probably where I want to start and I'll definitely be considering this as I've had enough of the other airlines

[@TheRareVideosXL]

What a fantastic trip report.

[@jpaleas]

Wonderful to see you fly and review like the old days again!

[@PuentesRE]

Sassy and delightful, what a fun trip report. Leave it to Jet Blue to provide such a cool experience

[@Calebs_Aviation]

Great video Paul! Truly excellent! It reminds me a lot of your last flight in JetBlue’s Mint Studio Suite from New York JFK to London LHR in their STUNNING Airbus A321LR I remember the last time you flew a JetBlue A321LR! I love the JetBlue A321LR however I wish it had their funky new livery on this aircraft, hopefully that all happens soon. 😅 Great video as always and my favorite part of any review the in flight entertainment and the menu! Wow 🤩 JetBlue’s food program looks also absolutely FABULOUS and delicious for sure! 🤤 Finally i love that "Dutch" sounding music 🎶 at 1:48 last used in your KLM 747 Retired video from Curaçao 🇨🇼 to Amsterdam 🇳🇱 SO SAD! I really miss that KLM 747-400! Cheers Mate 🥂 Wishing You Blue Skies & Tailwinds! @Calebs_Aviation

[@thevacationworld]

Wow, what a great experience 😊 I think to be on an inaugural flight is the dream of many people 😁 JetBlue‘s cabin and especially their Mint Suite is a great seat, I‘ve tried their normal A321 on a domestic flight to Seattle and I really like their seats but their new A321LR and the Mint Studio is a big step forward 👍✈️

[@britton1988]

Love this review and airline. Looking forward to the full leg of your Japan and Asia trip!

[@aphroditestrongoak]

Sooo cool! That you are flying on the first flight from Amsterdam to New York! Really awesome! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@tammypearson4500]

So glad to see you take this inaugural flight. I'd always hoped there would be more options to and from the States and the Netherlands. I love JetBlue... time to try this out! ❤

[@ThePaulaon1]

Looks excellent. I might try that flight next year as part of my 50th Birthday year. I've not done alot of travelling over the years and i hope next year starts to change that. New York would be a first, as would Amsterdam. Another great video Paul. Cheers

[@Paul_Lucas]

Thanks! Hope you get to see those places soon - both of them are amazing in different ways!

More videos please 🙏🏻 love them

[@tomseagraves]

Another great video Paul! Longtime viewer, first time commenter. I love Paul's law. Mine is a little different. For me, turbulence starts when I'm in the loo, just as I start to pee! Looking forward to watch your around the world trip you mentioned.

[@rollingtroll]

They just get you drunk for a positive experience :D. Honestly a flight to be jealous of, fun video!

The slow-mo on the hot towel was great. XD

Love jetblue. Best between Europe and the East Coast..

[@MrBlazemaster525]

That looks wonderful! As for the QOTV: I like to find a cafe or somewhere I can have a couple of coffees before boarding - last time I flew(MNL-CEB) I ended up chatting with a Neapolitan having a trip through to Iloilo!

[@flapsnslats]

Proud to see this as a B6 employee!

[@fritskleinenhammans2388]

Thanks! I was already eager to see how they do on flights out of my hometown airport AMS. You can credit miles on Jetblue flights towards avios on QR. And then transfer to BA, hope this helps😊

[@lawrenceakini9507]

Thanks for this vlog. Fly and stay safe. Have an amazing day. Cheers.

[@stuartj5520]

What a fantastic flight! It’s tempting … All we need now is JetBlue to fly from Dublin so you get the bonus of US preclearance and avoid the JFK immigration queues altogether!

[@zoneapex]

I havent flown jetblue in a long time. Now its time to go to Amsterdam! ;)

[@dianeschroeder3980]

Great video with everything I need to know about Jet Blue Mint suites. Congrats 🎉🎊🍾 on over 300k subs!❤✈️

Great review of Jet Blue's inaugural Amsterdam to New York. Thanks Paul.👌💚

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Absolutely fantastic video Paul!😸

[@wannabedal-adx458]

LOL, I didn't think you had a house or flat anymore!!?! I thought you were on the road the entire time!! I',m glad you had a good flight. JetBlue looks like they continue to do well on their hard product and soft product in the air. However, I had a really bad experience with them traveling to San Juan, PR for a cruise back in Feb 2020. Between the app (checking in online early) and the phone based customer service not fixing the problem, I was double charged for luggage. It was the way that I was blown off by the customer service rep that really did it in for me for the airline. Great review though as always. Your enthusiasm is infectious.

[@Brandonplanespotter23]

Great video as always paul, I've booked myself my first ever solo flight on ryanair to olso in November. I'm also looking into the Iberia A350 from Heathrow and from Madrid to lhr is just £27 (if you ever needed to position flight) see you next time

[@Paul_Lucas]

Have a great time in Oslo! It’s actually one of the few European cities I’ve not yet visited (!)

[@neilcoram3495]

Really interesting video Paul. Nice bit of luxury as well. Was it cold on board as i noticed you kept you hooded sweatshirt on all the time. Keep up the good work 😊

[@smith5312]

No expense spared with the plastic cup to drink the champagne 😂

[@lewiscourtney5740]

I do hope Jetblue extend their flights throughout the States, hopefully in Minnesota where I live. We do, however have a few options for hopping the pond to Europe now. Still Your vlog of this flight looks amazing. I do hope one day I fly them too.

[@Sniper2455]

Portsmouth Int'l Airport in New Hampshire! We had an An-124 from Antonov stop in on Friday and left on Saturday!

[@davidmaclachlan]

Appreciate your videos and good attitude. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrWilday]

If you’re headed to Japan you should check out their ferry system too.

[@BetsyBigNose]

Looks amazing, but as you say at quite an economy support price! I would like to try it one day. I wonder if they will extend their offerings to other East Coast cities like Orlando, or if that is pushing the range of the aircraft too far.

[@alexmcwhirter6611]

Maybe A321XLR would have the range when it enters service.

[@mrvwbug4423]

4000nm, which is the range of the regular LR is already enough for Orlando to London or Orlando to Paris, not quite enough for Orlando to Frankfurt. Madrid and Lisbon are also in range from Orlando. The XLRs 4700nm range when it enters service will have range to reach from most of the US east coast to basically all of Europe, or even Denver to Western/central Europe

Great review as always, love Jet Blue. Looking forward to your experience in Japan as I’m planning a trip there. Paul N. Ireland

[@MrGreatplum]

Great stuff, Paul! The seat and food look excellent. However, I would normally (every time!) be flying economy and the idea of a trans-Atlantic flight on a narrow body is a big no (I did a 6.5 hour flight on a 737 from IST to DAR - never again!) Also, I can’t remember if I’ve said congratulations to you for 300k subs!

[@DroopyPenguin95]

What makes a narrowbody aircraft worse as long as the seat width is the same?

[@MrGreatplum]

@@DroopyPenguin95 - lack of toilets, physical space etc

[@pahtosh]

Champagne in plastic glass… the french in me is screaming

[@tonyhancock8479]

It's not turbulence Paul. It's a special Jetblue service to aerate your red wine.

[@JoePCool14]

11:17 I thought this looked familiar! What F1 show were you watching here?

[@stellarossaCPCU]

Used Mint suites and studio to cross the Atlantic over the last 24 months and while I love the service, I thought hard product things were starting to show their age. Dirt in the small recessed area where the mint seats are numbered and illuminated, the additional flap that makes the front 2 seats into a bigger bed was broken on both studios, trim loose etc.

[@michaelfavourites6395]

Thanks for this feedback. I was thinking the same thing watching this video

[@johnmeharg2818]

I'm surprised they haven't arranged Club Lounge access with another provider.

[@frankbarr1101]

Really looks Top Notch.Seems like a super airline. Interested to see how good the Economy flight is.

[@joebehrdenver]

Thanks for the video! I am a Jetblue fan as well. As crowded and crazy as AMS is I'm surprised they got a slot there.

[@rezaalan3991]

Great flight. Ah i see F1 and UCL at IFE.

[@niltonlacle]

Heads up everyone, you should write the airline's name as: jetBlue. Remember: The first letter is a LOWERCASE.. " j ". Everywhere: jetBlue Video editors: Jetblue.

[@jamesabbott5242]

Awesome Video

[@philipnawrocki8278]

Looked pretty turbulent!😳

[@Bluem00n7]

Haha scunny hope you gave us a wave from up there 🎉

[@bbpete8349]

Paul, I like this edition a lot. I have flown numerous airlines but never JetBlue. It's good to know your feelings on it. It was also good to point out T5 arrival at JFK. I'm American and JFK is my least favorite international entry point back to the U.S. I have avoided it anytime I could. Perhaps a JetBlue flight with arrival at T5 is in my agenda one day based on this video. Thanks.

[@Itallianmobboss]

They are great in Northeast. Don’t really have super big midwest amd western US presence

[@MrJimheeren]

I’ve been to Newark and that is way worse

[@AnthonyMenegoni]

At the airport before my flights, I tend to people watch or walk around .

I’m taking my first business class flight on Sunday, LCY - DUB, short I know but you have to start somewhere! 😂

[@Paul_Lucas]

Have fun!

[@MrCarlsson86]

Jeannette is one of the best JetBlue crewmembers if not the best. You were lucky to have her on your flight. And JetBlue was right to choose her to do this inaugural.

[@gabrielstevens3884]

Another great video. I have a question for tou Paul or anyone who can help. If a flight is cancelled and you're moved to a flight early in the morning which means spending money in a hotel at the airport. Is this a cost im entitled to claim back or is it only if your flight gets changed to the following day?

[@jvstcu76]

Hi Paul 👋. Glad to hear that you have the same opinion as I do about JetBlue's Mint Class service. They are my favorite airline to fly trans-Atlantic and transcontinental in the States. I hope that they will eventually add new cities to their system, join an alliance and add lounges but that may be wishful thinking on my part. 😂. Will be looking forward to your upcoming adventures in Japan and Asia.

[@maxpowr90]

Why I hope the Spirit-JetBlue merger goes through too. JetBlue acquiring all those Spirit gates would be huge.

[@zayyyNYC]

jetBlue crew member here and i recently spoke with some of our higher ups and i too brought these same ideas to them and as of now, our number one focal point is the spirit acquisition. once it goes through (fingers crossed), you’ll see a leap in our vision for the upcoming year but whilst the merger is happening, it’s hard to make any bigger moves like that. i hope this can provide some clarity behind our thought process

[@tandooribox]

well done

[@garethsmith2250]

They used to give blue crisps in economy in the USA

[@davesturdy]

Look like a great airline. I’ll definitely consider them next time I go to NYC. Do they fly to other cities in USA from AMS or anywhere in U.K.?

[@mlaakie]

They fly from Boston to Amsterdam also. And JFK/BOS to London Heathrow and London Gatwick.

[@maxpowr90]

Do you have Mosaic status with JetBlue? I feel once you reach that level, the JetBlue experience gets so much better.

[@gilesrdavies]

Hey Paul Great video and looks like you had a great time! You mentioned you can't earn BA Miles with them, but I think you can earn miles with Aer Lingus and transfer them to BA. Happy to be corrected.

[@Paul_Lucas]

You can't do this with Aer Lingus but rather Qatar Airways, and then combine them - but you earn no status/requalification points. That was the point I was making, maybe not too clearly!

[@sumeetbeniwal6365]

I thought Amsterdam was coming in summer 2024 but its here already

[@urbanpreppie05]

Im actually flying to AMS later this year on JetBlue! Not Mint, sadly, just Blue Extra. :-)

[@philipbarnard2474]

Great review! I'm curious, you said it was your 2nd-best plane-to-bag time in the states...would the winner have been BA1 from LCY?

[@garethsmith2250]

[@ivan_friends5953]

Judging by the passage at 1:27, I assume Jetblue uses the G pier? That would make sense given that United uses them as well. Edit: G pier it is! :D

[@Stark_117]

The only real issue I see with these are the for that many hours in the air, I want a wide body three row aircraft to move around in. They also fly higher and are bigger, which means less feel on turbulence.

I originally intended going to NY but it ended up being the Canary islands. Otherwise would likely have ended up in the same A321LR (just at a different date) 😅

[@richarddastardly6845]

Gidday Paul, we just completed a 70 day RTW trip with star alliance airlines. Wasn’t impressed with Air Canada, lost baggage cancelled flight. Thai Air, United and Air New Zealand were ok tho. Not a fan of the seat config on Air New Zealand business class if I am being honest

[@johnburke1317]

Nice video

[@Tvsnumber1fan]

Hay Paul, I noticed that you were watching a video about Formula 1 during your flight. I would like to ask you are you the Paul Lucas who reacts to topics being discussed about the V10 era of F1 and asks questions on The Races podcast Bring Back V10s? I am just wondering.

[@Paul_Lucas]

Pretty sure that was a trailer or something - sorry, I've no interest in F1!

[@jon134a]

You did not tell us what terminal in AMS. Which is it? #3?
