Flights on economy to Europe cost $1300 for me How

Hey Dan, just FYI, because you may not know this. But US carriers do clean your laboratories throughout the flight. You may not have noticed it but they do. Since the pandemic it has been pushed towards that. Especially on long haul and ultra long haul flights.

[@ThatOnePilot12]

I thought u didn’t do sponsorships since ur self funded. Sorry to be like that but I wanna know😅

[@rajun1231]

Dan, who makes the mic you use?

[@oluwawamirionakoya3287]

I flew jetBlue from JFK to ORD last summer

[@glengamble526]

I’ve been subbing/follower of NSD for years now…and I STILL love his enthusiasm and appreciation for even the littlest things. I too use the credo of the ‘metal tube in the sky’ analogy and never lose my sense of wonder over the miracle of modern flight itself, never mind the extras like being able to lie down in a bed (in the sky!) and eat good food, watch movies etc. My attitude is gratitude.

JetBlue has been my favorite US airline for LONG time. I have had to pretty much give up on all the other due to customer service and luggage issues, but JetBlue has never left me hanging with any bullcrap.

[@joseadorno292]

Same! I love JetBlue so much!

[@harrydestaffano565]

Jet Blue was bloody awful when I flew it recently The crew were unfriendly, the seat was lumpy and there was no audio on the video. The food was boil in the bag quality, the previous passenger had left a can and cup in the seat pocket. Avoid Jet Blue. I will not be traveling Jet Blue again.

[@joseadorno292]

@@harrydestaffano565 That’s sad, I’ve never had a bad experience with them!

[@glengamble526]

Great comment, but you got my CHECK simply cause of your awesome use 9f the word ‘bullcrap’. A sorely under-used phrase.

[@haute03]

Same! I'm a huge JetBlue fan!

[@andrewfusco7824]

I’ve flown Mint domestic several times and have only had positive experiences onboard. Aside from frequent delays that seem to plague JetBlue, onboard service was top notch.

[@C_Bat]

I cannot believe this is a US airline, from someone working in an Asian airline, there are some features that I WISH I could have - ESPECIALLY the functions of the TV. Let's face it, there are only so many movies and shows you can watch, but being able to adjust the angles of the TV DOWN, and order food on the PTV is absolutely awesome!!

[@JulesOfIslington]

I flew JetBlue return last year LGW-BOS-DCA in economy class. The trans-Atlantic segment was unquestionably the best economy class Trans-Atlantic service I've ever encountered.

[@apa182]

As a person who only flies economy, Jetblue is the MOST underrated airline in the US. Just way better than all the bigger ones.

[@adderva]

I love your videos so much and they helped inspire me to become a pilot. I really hope you keep up the great and helpful content!

[@b0tterman]

I'm a regular flyer of United and Delta and I keep using them bc I have so many points. But they absolutely blow. I had work pay for Mint from JFK to LAX and I can confirm it's amazing.

[@JfkAvgeek]

YESS Im mosaic on JetBlue and always waited for the day Dan would make a new review

Just subscribed! One closer to 1 million!!! Love your videos and congrats on your future milestone of 1 million subscribers, gonna be doing the happy dance along with you guys!!! I’m so excited for you!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@simondavey7787]

Another great trip report from you. It's rare that I have flown a route before you, but this is one I have done many times and I love it. I was excited when JetBlue lunched to London a little while ago and they are now my go to airline for trans Atlantic travel. I'm so happy to see you try it. Thanks for all you do, Dan. ALso, keep up the dad jokes ;)

[@BMRS03]

I love Mint. But the major issue is the insane cost. I used to be able to go from BOS to SFO for around $1400. But over the last two years, I can’t seem to find any for under $2500. That is a lot of money for a 5-6h flight

[@nicholasbuonagura7374]

Catering out of JFK has gotten really good. I recently did a British Airways and Iberia flight out of JFK and both had such good food.

[@PigeonsandCapybaras]

JetBlue improvements: Move the second lavatory to the area between the mint and core section of the plane for the core passengers

[@jdavphoto]

Pretty certain this is the same seat that will be on Iberia’s new 321XLRs, which will be my first transatlantic business class experience next year. Super excited!

[@dscosta2016]

Hey nonstop Dan American Airlines just announced that they had their inaugural flight from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to Brisbane Australia I highly recommend it😮 and it's awesome

Man this only motivates me more to rake in the cash to afford this. Nice video review Dan 👍

[@jaden_bautista]

I love JetBlue Mint 😍 Great video Dan!

[@NonstopDan]

Thanks so much Jaden! 🙏

[@KentFong]

NSD ain't lying. JetBlue's MINT Class really does rock-even on its narrow-body domestic routes, where other carriers have ended their lay flat business-class seating. I cannot comment on JetBlue's international routes. But if it's like SFO to BOS, then JetBlue's MINT Class is a winner. Disclaimer: the SFO - BOS routes I flew were in the older style seats, prior to this newly released seat configuration that JetBlue recently rolled out, like NSD is reviewing here. The lack of a BC lounge is disappointing, however. JetBlue's domestic amenity kit WAS nicer than other carriers. That's a shame that NSD didn't receive one at all.

[@EhabAboud]

The product matchup between JetBlue and this camera is absolutely perfect. Chef's kiss, honestly! When it comes to thinking of the added innovation that dramatically enhances the experience for customers, I now associate with both of these brands. Lovely 🙌🏼

[@wandervoltz]

Wow, this was a great review! I've only ever heard negative reviews about JetBlue, but your review makes me want to look into it! Thanks!

[@PainReaverX2]

Dan you look so happy, relaxed, and mysig in this video!

[@dennismcmahonfilms]

Enjoy all your reviews! Nice to see Jet Blue service. All the best.

[@mizbbalstr007]

Jet blue is also my favorite for domestic travel. They are the only airline that gives, not just a drink included in an economy ticket, but snacks too. And you can have as much as you want. If you want pretzels and chips and a cookie, they’ll give it to you. If you want to refill mid flight, they have a self serve station. Every other airline charges for snacks

[@TheRickyLevi]

Delta serves snacks free of charge, as well.

[@mizbbalstr007]

@@TheRickyLevi jet blue also had a few inches more leg room.

[@BrenonaPlen]

Hey Dan! Long time fan, and Jetblue Transatlantic Crewmember. Your review is so touching and those of us involved in JetBlue's transatlantic product are incredibly proud and protective of the product we provide for reactions just like yours. Unfortunately we're seeing some changes especially in Core due to cost cutting that you may see in the news, such as the cold meals. But, hopefully in the future this will change back to the hot food options everyone loved. And honestly, the flavor of the cold food isn't bad. The curtain issue is something we get a lot. I personally agree. According to the company it's meant to provide a more open and "egalitarian" approach. Keeping the plane open for all regardless of what class they book. However, we are also encouraged to keep the front lavatories primarily for mint customers use. Can't wait for our lounges to open later next year and see what you think. Hope to see you aboard one of my flights soon. Cheers!

[@NonstopDan]

Thanks so much for your message Brenona! 🙏

[@Calebs_Aviation]

Great video Dan! Loved this one a lot! I cannot wait to try JetBlue someday as I’ve never flown them before even domestically in Economy. 😂 I hope to try their A321LR from JFK-LHR 🇬🇧 the route you flew today and hopefully XLR someday once they get it! Cheers 🥂 my new friend loved this so very much! Also I don’t mind one advert but PRACTICALLY NONSTOP ADS for the Insta360 Camera I really didn’t care for! Plz pull back on that in the future that’s my only complaint! -Caleb’s Aviation 😎

Love, Actually is a fave. Also love Oscar; what a great guy.

Been waiting for this review for a long, long time.

[@nonstops_aviation]

JetBlue is also my favorite US airline and I wouldn't mind flying them long haul one day just wish they flew to other long haul destinations like maybe when the A321XLR comes out, we can see them add long haul service from Fort Lauderdale to Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Buenos Aires, Argentina and even Santiago de Chile and can compete with LATAM, Aerolineas Argentinas and American.

[@mmgando]

Thank you so much, Dan! I love jetblue and your channel! Thanks!

[@r3m_2m]

1:43 JFK Terminal 5 also holds a historical significance as it was the home of Trans World Airlines (TWA) before they were acquired by American Airlines. It houses the TWA Flight Center and the TWA Hotel.

[@krisg71]

Completely agree! I've taken this exact flight. It is AWESOME! On par with some international and way better than other US carriers.

[@chowchillachuck]

I like jetBlue. Not perfect but, it's my go to choice from SFO to JFK or BOS.

[@antoniowood8119]

I’ve flown out of JFK many times on Delta and once on VS and I’ve thought it’s always great. On VS it was Chicken Wrapped in Bacon and it was fire!

[@scottbedrosian7428]

Took it from Boston to Amsterdam. It is awesome!!

[@doctornebula]

The dichotomy with JetBlue is striking. Excellent business class vs a terrible domestic economy experience. Recently traveled to Europe, flying JetBlue from my hometown to JFK. JB rescheduled our 10AM flight to 430PM just two hours before departure. Luckily, got a last-minute Delta flight to JFK. Flew Lufthansa over and Swiss Air on the return. Kept the JB return from JFK to my hometown. The lead FA for JB got red-faced and screamed at a couple who put their small bags in the overhead. Then, she cursed casually with the other FA while telling her why she shouted at them. Then, the lead FA walked right past a man with his feet up in the bulkhead during the final departure check. The whole experience was shocking.

[@vidittapadia3256]

when you mentioned you flying a us airline on the podcast and didn't start mentioning the downsides, I immediately knew that it was jetblue😭

[@lmjr400]

Thanks Mr Gonzalez ..

[@abushfield71]

I rode on that very flight to London 2 years ago with the wife and High School graduate son for a month long vacation through Europe. They were amazing as you said. Glad you finally got to try them out.

[@NonstopDan]

So glad to hear!

[@louisedurrant1804]

Great vlog thank you for sharing ❤ xxx

[@NonstopDan]

Thanks Louise 🙏

[@erich930]

22:33 - The reason the flight takes longer is because they fly slower! An Airbus A321LR cruises around Mach 0.78-0.82 (78-82% the speed of sound), while a more typical widebody cruises around Mach 0.82-0.86 (82-86% the speed of sound). The A320 family was originally designed to be a short to medium-haul airliner so they didn't need to be designed to go as fast. It would be too difficult and expensive to redesign the wings and aerodynamic surfaces to withstand flying at more typical transoceanic speeds.

[@Wintershot]

Jetblue is the only US airline worth flying on.

[@frjerryk]

Been wanting to try. Thanks for the encouragement!

[@NonstopDan]

You won’t be disappointed!

[@jdenner04]

Enjoy the video and am now searching JetBlue routes to see what the art of the possible is. On future videos, would like to see more commentary on Oscar's meals added in for us omnivores. Otherwise, you hit all the points I'm looking for in a review. Thanks!

Thanks for this very informative review.

[@NonstopDan]

You’re welcome! 🙏

[@tarenrome3740]

I just flew mint from JFK to SFO and it was great. Even with the two across seats the food was really good the seat was super comfortable. And the best part about it was I upgraded at the airport and it was like 449 for the upgrade!

[@missybelmont9830]

I'm totally sold, Dan!

[@kikyochan66]

JetBlue has the best service compared to other major US carriers, the crew is happy and helpful

[@JDgo]

Thanks Dan for sharing your wonderful thoughts on this amazing Jet Blue "Luxury" accommodation cabin in the sky! I have heard of 'mint' before but, until now, I had no idea how great it really is! Bravo to Jet Blue!! A nice surprise; thanks again for showing.

[@PSailor]

Your MUST reiterate that EACH JFK terminal is operated as an independent LLC, an NYC oddity, meaning that even a *A, ow, or ST paid F ticket can't have access to lounges in terminals airside other than your original departing terminal

[@vectorgen]

Huh. I've never flown JetBlue (i'm forced by circumstances to only fly AA) but for some reason I thought they were a low cost carrier like Spirit or something. You learn something new every day.

[@Derek-Adams]

Don’t worry, it’s a quite common misconception because of the “feel” of booking a flight on JetBlue. It feels as if you’re booking with a ultra low-coast carrier airline. There’s the base fare then all the fees come into play such as the seat you choose, fees for luggage, fees for carryon, fees for inflight entertainment, fees for oxygen [sarcasm]…just like the other low-cost airlines. JetBlue isn’t a bad airline but I, personally, have not had a good experience with them. Their business class is a great option - if you can snag a seat, they go quick - but their economy class seats are awful. AWFUL.

[@laurenm6511]

They used to be.

[@glennkennedy441]

Another great one !

[@morgan97475]

I flew mint last year from JFK to AMS and it was an amazing experience.

[@lydiab128]

I flew mint in the older narrow body from Miami to San Francisco last summer, luckily I snagged the throne seat with the door and it was GREAT! the food is so damn good and they give you so much lol it’s crazy.

[@jt98116]

Good work as always. And JetBlue Mint has been far and away the best US transcon business class experience for a long time.

[@futurepaver2039]

Thank you for making this video! I have been wanting to see your impressions on JetBlue Mint for a long time and I don't think I've clicked on an airline video this quickly before. JetBlue did explain in a video from 2013 on KZbin why they chose not to add a curtain between business and economy however

[@MileHighFlyer]

Great video and no surprise your best US flight wasn't on one of the big 3 😁😁😁

[@thomaswu2373]

[@PeterAkkies]

Ha I got the Love Actually reference before you explained it! My all-time favorite movie.

[@jeadie2273]

I fly JetBlue all the time between Cleveland and Boston. Recently flew them for the first time from Cleveland to Amsterdam via Boston. We were in economy and it was fantastic. Great food, great service. Decent legroom and seats were pretty comfortable. Pantry was nice for snacks. The new A321neo was nice and modern. Entertainment system was good. Would like to try the mint suites at some point.

[@quivop7759]

I think we should all start to call you Mr. Gonzales!

[@j.domingo3319]

Great review! I'm glad you at least got a camera shot of the plane's name! Cuz his name is my name, too!

[@brucewatt1032]

Very impressive. I don’t normally bother even looking at a US airline for a transatlantic flight, but I think I’ll give this one a go next time 👌

[@Hoakaloa]

Gracias, Mr. Gonzalez ;-) This is very helpful. I would not have thought to consider JetBlue for my SFO - PHL flight with my 91 year old mother next July for my niece's wedding. JetBlue does not come up when I use Google flights for that itinerary. I was prepared to relegate us to the sad, painful business class regular recliners on United or American. Short layover at BOS but for lie flat seats and the same price as UA and AA, I'm turning Blue. And JetBlue's website -- so much better than most. Easy to find routes that have Mint service.

[@alamgudiel7663]

Can you believe we’re getting two Jet Blue lounges next year!!

[@laraabiona903]

I KNEWWWW it would be JetBlue, it's so slept on (no pun intended 🙈)

[@TonyG-gk7qr]

We trust you Dan! JetBlue from LA to Miami in Mint was mind blowijg 😊

[@airbus7373]

Not long after I asked for it, here it is. Jetblue was able to figure out some local restaurants to get their catering from (even in economy) instead of using the traditional crappy catering providers out of JFK. Awesome video Dan

[@NonstopDan]

Thanks so much 🙏

Imagine how it would be if they had A350s. They are as innovative as Richard Branson was in the early years with Virgin Atlantic. I hope they will grow and challenge the big 3 US Airlines. NIce filming, graphics and editing.

I have done Jet Blue from LGW to BOS and back and had a fantastic experience in economy. Walking past the Mint seats had me jealous and I really want to give them a go next time I need to get back to the US.

[@NonstopDan]

You should absolutely give them a go!

[@the7starfighters]

I feel like we don't appreciate JetBlue as much because we got the first impression of it as an LCC, so we naturally group it with other LCCs like Southwest. I feel like if they made a child company that was only dedicated to these more long-haul routes, they would probably fare much better because most people would see it as a regular airline

[@jeazy1878]

For roughly similar cost, JetBlue has a much superior product. Southwest doesnt even come close.

[@hollygrace6814]

Im an Aussie, never been to the USA yet before. Is Jetblue a new airline or upgraded ? this is unreal especially for a USA carrier!! wow

[@NonstopDan]

They've been around since 1998!

[@bngbox]

All of this was done first by Virgin America who revolutionized domestic US airlines, not jetBlue. Mood lighting, boarding music, ordering from your screen, etc. I may be biased cause I worked for Virgin for some time, but it’s a real shame they’re not around anymore. It’s nice that JB is carrying on the hospitality though.

[@ivanviera4773]

I did JFK-CDG last year going in Mint and returning in economy and it was terrific.

[@magnustan841]

Happy to see you’ve enjoyed your flight, Dan. JetBlue in my eyes have always been a hybrid carrier, even from day 1, offering seat back entertainment, live TV and extra legroom for reasonable money. I hope they continue to expand that presence slowly across the US, instead of doing it the “easy way”, by trying to buy this airline, buy that airline and getting into all sorts of DOJ trouble lol. Like just expand your presence and continue to do what you do so well! 😂

[@jennys1487]

My only issue with JetBlue is that they have NO staff at their check in desks until 2 hours before the flight at airports outside of their hubs. This was a huge issue when flying internationally on a busy day because we had to use that desk so that they could check our visas, etc. They showed up at the 2 hour mark and spent nearly 30 minutes getting the computers up which gave an entire flight of people 90 minutes to get through their line, security, & get to the gate.
