London to New York with JetBlue | The Economy Experience | A321 LHR - JFK

Airline: JetBlue
Plane: A321LR
Flight # 20
Seat # 29A
***The plane in the opening scene is an A321neo, not an LR. I liked the footage, so I decided to use it as an intro.
Welcome to part two of my JetBlue transatlantic adventure! I few months ago I posted my flight from JFK to LHR and it garnered a lot of attention. So, I figured I make a video on my return trip from LRH to JFK. JetBlue has brought something completely unique to the table when it comes to transatlantic travel and I'm happy to report that they're adding new flights from Boston to London this summer. Watch this video to see what it's like!
Unedited takeoff/landing footage on my second channel: NYC Flyer Plus.
Round trip price at the time of booking was about $700.
Contents of the amenity kit:
Socks
Lip balm

I've flown the A321Neo to London from Toronto and it was WAY more comfortable than some of the 757 that some Airlines still use for transatlantic

An amenity kit in economy would make a legacy carrier accountant break out in a cold sweat 🤣

[@johnchristmas7522]

Especially BA -who I consider to be a Budget Airline in all but price!

[@visionist7]

@@johnchristmas7522 the budget carrier even applies to their premium classes. The other day I managed to fly BA First on their A380 from Chicago to Heathrow for 1200 Euros by subsequently connecting through to Naples in Club Europe, after an 11 hour layover (where incidentally I met Anne Hathaway in the Terminal 3 BA lounge). Whilst First was quite nice, and the staff were very down to earth and great fun (cabin manager gave me a full tour of the plane after dinner when I asked, even though it's officially frowned upon - he even showed me the crew rest in the central hold. I should have asked him to visit the flight deck after landing but didn't think of it) I honestly didn't find it anywhere near as spacious as I would expect first class to be on a premium airline like Cathay or Singapore. The food was OK; honestly I ate much better in Iberia business class a couple weeks before on their A330. I couldn't get to sleep either although that was due to the time of day; the cabin manager himself made the bed up for me through. Oh, and the amenity kit was quite nice I thought, nicer than Iberia's business kit.

[@johnchristmas7522]

@@visionist7 Well I'm not surprised by any of this, next time if you can, try Qatar business class. No1 in my eyes, not a lover of 1st class although you ought to try Etihad, their first class is, well 1st class! Mostly my flights have been business class. Some of the airlines I prefer, according to flight route are;- Singapore Airlines, EVA, Turkish Airlines, Qatar and Qantas- across the pond it has to be Virgin. I go out of my way to avoid BA, which as it turns out is the same as Air Lingus, Iberia together with two budget airlines (IAG consortium).

I highly enjoyed watching this video. I like how you are able to add music and your voice at the same time. I haven't flown on JetBlue since 2009, so I am definitely hoping to again. The last JetBlue flight was one of the best experiences I have had on a plane, with friendly flight attendants and an abundance of TV channels. I can only imagine how much better it is now.

[@nycflyertravel]

Thank you! Hopefully you can book a JetBlue flight soon. I think they’re the best airline in the US.

[@crazycoollady]

@@nycflyertravel I agree. I hope I can fly JetBlue again soon. In fact, I have considered traveling to Boston just so I can fly on them again for a few years now, lol. My family almost always chooses Southwest, though. I like Southwest, but I would definitely like the experience of flying JetBlue again.

[@brianocean5756]

@@nycflyertravel but they don't fly everywhere in the United States though they may be a good airline but they don't fly everywhere like out of my home airport of Baltimore Washington and Washington Dulles they stopped flying out of Dulles and only fly to California out of this area you have to transfer in Boston that's this doesn't make sense to fly Washington DC to Boston to go to Seattle but I agree JetBlue is a very good airline it's always hard it's just the offerings they have for service out of the DC area it's hard to fly them. Another great airline is Alaska they're number one in JetBlue number two

I’m flying with JetBlue from New York to Paris. It was $500 cheaper, and for my family of three it means saving $ 1,500. I love flying big airplanes, but last year I flew with JetBlue from New York to Los Angeles ( around 6 hrs). Let me tell you about that flight: I had more leg room than any other airline, free internet and watched a lot of KZbin videos, and my seat was very comfortable. ❤ I hope my flight to Paris will be even better, since they are adding meals and snacks.

JetBlue has the best economy cabin experience amongst US carriers. The only fear I have is their operational issues that keep cropping up like gate delays and such but hopefully they get on top of these. I've flown their A321Neo (200 seat economy version) and found it very quiet and comfy. This will be my #1 choice when I fly to the UK followed by Delta from here in NYC.

I'd also like to see them do flights to other cities on their narrow body jets eventually - small, long range planes create a place for long haul low demand routes, but it's fair to start with routes with a big market, it's still early days and they're starting to go to Paris and Amsterdam this year

[@philipdouglas5911]

@@grassytramtracks Hopefully Manchester and Birmingham which United pulled the plug a few years back but a narrow body like this could make them pay.

[@danielestes2826]

My family and I flew JetBlue (economy) from Heathrow to JFK on 7/24/22. It couldn't have been a better experience. Boarding was organized, the attendants were friendly and professional, the food was great, and the extra legroom was noticable (I'm 6'2"). Having only two available restrooms in the rear caused some issues, but nothing serious. Highly recommended. We continued on JetBlue from JFK home to Albuquerque and the flight was fine, but not the standout that the Atlantic flight was.

[@mooseofspruce]

I'm tempted to try them to London, I just wish they didn't give into the "premium oneways to force buying roundtrips" pricing like most other airlines across the pond, because then I'd do a one-way with them and then a LCC like French bee in the other direction to make a return trip while trying out two airlines. I still remember when the flights first went on sale last year and SFO-JFK-LHR/LGW-JFK-SFO was under $500 even for a long weekend/above-average demand period. I also watched the previous video for JFK-LHR and liked what I saw. Insightful and enjoyable videos!

[@nycflyertravel]

Thanks for the comment! Yeah, it’s really annoying when airlines do that. I want to fly on French bee too even though I just saw a bad review on them.

[@kcrazy6932]

If jetblue adds a330s to their fleet, they will be unstoppable

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing flying on the narrow body aircraft. Since this flight was not with a lot of people onboard then that was very good. If you have to fly in Economy on long haul flights, I always hope to get the seat next to you free. I am a tall guy 6'2" so, I need that when I can not fly Business Class. A few year back, when I could not get Business Class to Europe, I use to jump over to Newark to caught a 777 on United. That used to be half full in Economy. But flying long haul from Chicago, I love the wide body aircraft. So, in general for me the 767s, and 777s to Europe are what I do like. Having to large space to walk around and extra bathrooms on the wide body aircraft is needed!!! And then on the coast to coast (east to west in the US) the 757s are as small of aircraft that I would fly in old Business Class and currently in First Class.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Now from the west to Hawaii, I have flown the 757s from LAX to Hawaii. Tha aircraft is a great narrow body flying long haul trips. First Class is nice with using my points. But I have flown Economy with being in the Exit Rows with the needed leg room and with an empty seat next to me a few times.!! That has been nice.

[@victorsheldon7961]

dude agree, no way i'd fly with a 6 seat aircraft

[@mooseofspruce]

The first flights were launched in August and September 2021 after being opened for reservation in May that year, and the plans officially announced back in 2019. On that note they aren't the only ones who use A321s, or narrowbodies for that matter, nonstop across the Atlantic, nor were they the first. Air Transat and TAP Air Portugal also use A321s on nonstop flights, while even the larger US airlines would use 757s on routes that are too thin for a widebody. For JetBlue this is what they have; if amenities like the included meals, WiFi, and/or IFE aren't enticing enough while their fares compete with airlines offering fewer or none of these things, then that's why it's nice to have choices.

[@bmak7874]

Great video! I’d say get use to narrow bodies for long hauls. It’s the future they’re more profitable for airlines. Also the A321LRneo is outselling Boeings Max about 5/1. It’s not a bad plane I’ve flew almost a hundred times from Anchorage to Ohare and back with no problems.

Honest question/concern - I would imagine the turbulence is much worse on a narrow body. Maybe I’m wrong, but I just always assumed wide bodies absorbed more for a smoother flight.

[@JaakiMaaki]

For me, the number of restrooms is not an argument. Yes, widebodies have more restrooms but you have way more passengers too.

[@linesided]

2 toilets for Y is way too few. There should be a midcabin loo as well, like there is on some AA configs. My other peeve with A321 flights is they are low and slow. More prone to bad weather, and easily another 1/2 hr to an 1hr flying west especially. So is it worth the ticket price? IDK, maybe?
