The Mint class is the closest thing I have experienced to the old days of PanAm .....Very well done. Their flight attendants are nicely trained and the entire flight was great.

[@stacimanning7868]

Just flew this the second week in May. We can only get even more space seats on our way from JFK to London which were OK. I thought maybe being a transcontinental flight they’d have a couple more inches of legroom but they didn’t. But they did have those amenity kits for everyone, food for everyone and even three drinks, which is more than most airlines give you. Coming home we were able to get mint and it was absolutely amazing. The food and the service might not been as good as other airlines iPhone to London but it was fine. Some of the airlines just give you too much food so I was fine with it. The flight attendants were extremely kind and helpful & the Mint seats were great! At first I thought the seat would be a little claustrophobic but it was absolutely one of my favorite flat bed seats. The area around your shoulders and head was wider than most of the other airlines business class. I was even able to lay the bed fat and sit up towards the top to really be able to stretch out my legs while sitting down instead of just have them lifted a little bit on the foot rest. You flew into a different terminal than I normally would fly in with Delta or a virgin Atlantic which was rather nice as it was much smaller and the customs line went extremely fast. Even returning from London to New York it was nice to have that terminal opposed to the huge main terminal at Heathrow. We didn’t have any turbulence and I really didn’t notice any difference between the JetBlue plane and a white body however, others on the flight said they had taken it before and you do feel the turbulence a little bit more than a widebody. Overall I thought it was an outstanding flight I love the privacy door in mint and would 100% fly JetBlue to London again.

[@colinrenfrew48]

Nice video. The onboard experience in JetBlue looks to be the best of all the US airlines.

[@mrc6182]

My recent experience on a flight of similar duration was exactly the opposite. Apparently JetBlue has issues with its cabin crews - and mine made that abundantly clear.

[@NewYorkAviation]

Definitely up there!

[@amc3]

One of the great joys of nature is watching a sunrise at 38,000 feet over the Atlantic, its majestic. For such a short flight time, you got leads of food. Flew with KLM Amsterdam to Seoul Korea in October last year, a 14 hour flight and got much less food than you did, top marks to Jetblue 👍

[@charlieherron2950]

Great product, but narrowbody transoceanic will always feel wrong. Widebodies make it more of a special occasion.

[@NewYorkAviation]

I agree, would much prefer a widebody!

[@wadew4091]

B6 A321LR only has 138 seats....when on average an a321 can hold upwards of 230+ passengers So trust there is enough space. Furthermore to have 130+ passengers on a plane versus 300+ seems more comfortable to me.... So 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@mrc6182]

I'm old enough to remember when EVERYTHING was "narrow body," so not much of a concern for me.

[@gillowe6605]

Totally agree! I love the increased access to Europe but there is such a sense of “occasion” when you board a wide body aircraft. It just feels more exciting. It’s sad that they are being phased out, but the technology is making the world smaller for these single aisle planes!

[@UmairActorModel]

Exactly!

[@patgarland9596]

It's nice to know that if I have to fly economy on a transatlantic flight that Jet Blue would not be so bad.

[@NewYorkAviation]

Yes, they’re definitely the cheapest option but you can still expect a great seat and service.

[@kevinbrzostek7552]

Looks like a great experience! I don't know if sleeping would be comfortable on the thinner economy seats, but everything else looks really good. I like how you select your meal on the screen

[@NewYorkAviation]

Yes, the seats were a bit thin, but it was a quick flight so not the end of the world if I'd have trouble sleeping.

[@iluvairlines]

JetBlue’s catering really exceeded my expectations, and I’m sure it was delicious! Also, amazing Timelapse captures!

[@NewYorkAviation]

The food was great! Thanks for the kind words, Micheal

[@nickalliker6219]

Another great video; I’ll definitely consider Jet Blue for USA trip in the future. Thanks for the upload

[@NewYorkAviation]

Thanks for watching, Nick!

[@tpplatfzft]

32” pitch in basic Economy? That’s a definite yes! JetBlue Economy is visually pleasing, very impressive.

[@sergiolaurencio7534]

And 18 of widths

[@Deltaexe190]

the seats are awful. They are so uncomfortable, it’s basically hell on earth for a 6 hour flight

[@ehstronghold]

The food served in economy looked much better than whatever United served me when I flew Premium Plus to and from Europe.

[@huub9971]

I say YAY! For the first time in a long time I really enjoyed my flight!. Just returned from a trip to NYC from Amsterdam and the whole experience with jetBlue was beyond expectation. The A321Neo is amazing, the food was excellent, the inflight entertainment system offered plenty choices and I had more than enough legroom. Already looking forward to fly jetBlue again!

[@stevegonzales3612]

Never flown Jetblue before but as a United 1K, I wanna say your a brave man to fly economy on an overnight 6 hr flight ✈️ . I'll fly economy plus on flights less then (2) hrs. Business / Polaris class on flights longer then (2) hrs...I need my comfort. But you did a great video 👊respect👊

[@martinryan3318]

Excellent economy catering. Probably the best of any airline across the pond linking The USAEast coast,and London.

[@NewYorkAviation]

For sure, can’t say enough good things about the catering.

[@guillermojimenezcastelblan8456]

Thanks for share the trip. The first or business class was surprising, the configuration it self. Any way, very comfortably flight, but the narrow cabin jet liner like this, the experience is the same in those Hey Days in late 50's and 60's aboard on the "brand new" B 707 or DC 8 jetliner. With the obviuos differences regarding electronic devices an multi media stuff, the overall enviroment aboard is pretty the same I had back in 1983, aboarding a mighty DC 8 Super Sixty, 256 pax capacity, flying from Bogota El Dorado, to El Arish, Sinai peninsula, with the MFO Army, a 22 plus hours trip with three stop stages. Good video, once again. In a brand new plane, everything is exciting, as it is all in life time, as well.

[@rfvp05]

Very nice video. I like the option to choose meal on the screen. Food looked good and the interior of the aircraft looked pretty cool. Also liked the 1x1 configuration on business class

[@_w_w_]

Impressive! Amazing product and meal for economy. Delta is in trouble for this route! The meals and amenity kit is better some other J class cabins.

[@NewYorkAviation]

Haven’t flown delta yet on a LHR but do fly them a lot so can get a pretty good feel for what it would be like. Would always prefer a wide body though :(

[@cub35guy]

we flew in september 2023 - jfk-lhr - loved the experience. we will use jet blue again for this route. solid food choice. great refreshments, snacks anytime. and great legroom even in coach...

[@taxiviaalfa]

JetBlue is a great airline. I definitely recommend flying on them again

[@NewYorkAviation]

Totally agree!

[@davefrommelbourne1237]

That was good of him to let you film first. I’m hoping QF take on a similar product when they introduce the A321LR/XLR. 🛫

[@NewYorkAviation]

I think QF will do a good job fitting the A321s, can’t wait to see them all over Asia and the Pacific.

[@donschwartz9585]

Although it seems to be a trend, flying a narrow body jet for anything over 5-6 hours can be claustrophobic .

[@trijetz3562]

I mean it's nothing new, we've been doing that forever with the Boeing 707.

[@ExplodeTheCake]

I found these flights to be over $100 cheaper than other carriers, id rather be cramped and have that money to spend on my vacation

[@afcacbs8544]

I think you will be fine with JetBlue if you compare it with cebu Pacific

[@afcacbs8544]

You have more legroom with JetBlue than with klm mate

[@ryanmatthew511]

@@ExplodeTheCake You actually won't be cramped. Those A321 seats in economy are 1 inch wider than BA/AA/UA 777s and 787s... 10 across in a 777 or 9 across in a 787..thats what I call CRAMPED. 18.2 inch wide seat vs 17.0 is a massive difference!

[@pmoore6133]

Jet Blue A220 is very nice the seats have tons of padding that make it very soft and the perforated leather is so soft and nice and the screen is also very nice and the plane was clean and felt brand new

[@ryang8146]

[@Canthavemybones]

Waiting at Logan for this flight now. This is a great value for the price. Paid less than $700. I personally have no issue with a narrow body but that’s just me. Excited for my first trip to the UK.

[@BetteLewis-b5c]

love flying Jet blue, my favorite airline!

[@Cassie4486]

I remember back in the 80's flying from NY to Tampa for college a few times. Those days you got a full meal. I remember having roast beef on one leg, chicken another time and just great food in general. Today? So disappointing. But that's what happens when Reagan decided to deregulate the airlines. Everything went downhill from there....

[@justi139]

lol that’s not even close to why you idiot..lol you are dumb..lol

[@Mostopinionatedmanofalltime]

Actually it was President Carter who deregulated the airlines, not Reagan. The result of that is that more people get to travel by air. Before deregulation, air travel was mainly the domain for the wealthy and privileged. I can see why a privileged, leftist Democrat like yourself would lament the loss of that. I do agree with you though, that air travel was much better before deregulation; for the people who could afford it.😊

[@Jetfumes]

Good luck with a long line to the lava. I feel sorry for the flight attendants having to get through that isle. Even though a short flight, there is no lower crew bunks of course on a 321 for rest and galleys are tiny. a dual isle aircraft is only way to go on trans oceanic, plus other aircraft are faster than a 321

[@brandonchristensen9348]

I really like the JetBlue A321neo. I'm wishing for them to start service to all the Hawaiian Islands from LAX and SFO on the A321neo.

[@strafrag1]

Very nice review. Cheers.

[@Ceedeetunis]

Thanks for sharing. That’s all the confirmation I needed to book my flight. I just want to support real competition since the other airlines running that route have gotten way out of control with their rediculous fees and dwindling amenities

[@NowGetThere]

Good service to get an amenities kit in economy, really nice flight map, good sized meal but looked a bit ordinary

They had no warm food on the Boston to London flight at Xmas. Was the only disappointment. Well..That and the stranger sitting next to my kiddo and I had no qualms about watching the movie Bros with a kid nearby. Wish JetBlue had two row seating

[@mkkm945]

@@NewYorkAviation They call it Fly-Fi. I've tested it on a 321Neo JFK to CUN and it was routinely 15-25 mbps one time as high as 76!

[@Bobrogers99]

I've flown domestic JetBlue and appreciate their decent legroom. Your dinner (with choices!) looked good, but the chocolaty "breakfast" would have been a turnoff. I'd have to be satisfied with a snack.

[@NewYorkAviation]

I actually quite liked the breakfast, but yes, I can see how it might be a turnoff.

[@linesided]

Am kind of downing the modern narrow body experience for 6 hours plus. Will be trying Azores Airlines in June and curious to see how the body reacts. A321's don't have much to offer in terms of cabin humidity or lowered pressure like carbon planes so that's downer. And having 2 loos for an economy class is pretty crummy. And I bet the Gatwick experience is no super with JB.

[@TheSoftballstar1261]

Nice landing!!!!!!!

[@Glidescube]

What about an episode o bring your own bucket so you have something to sit on class.

[@GarlandTexasSpotter2024]

JetBlue should try to eye on widebody aircraft, such as the A330neo or Boeing 787.

[@ronanflyer6551]

Great Video! I was wondering what lens mode do you use on the GoPro? Is it Linear?

[@NewYorkAviation]

I use a mix of both, but mainly linear.

[@mrc6182]

You had much better luck with your crewmembers than I did! I took the inaugural A220 trip from BOS to SJC on May 4th. This was also over six hours in duration. There appeared to be two FA's in the cabin, but there could've been more we simply never saw. First, despite the flight duration, no amenity kits whatsoever. Secondly, about 15 minutes after take-off, the FA's made a snack and beverage service with two trash runs shortly thereafter - and promptly disappeared until making another trash run in hour 5. A fellow passenger asked for a $14 provolone sandwich ("Available on all flights over four hours," according to JB) and was told they didn't have any. Literally, the worst and most inattentive Flight Attendants I've ever experienced! Let me also point out this wasn't a "red-eye" or a night flight when they might've been trying to accommodate sleepers. We took off at 18:30 and arrived in California at 21:40. Otherwise, that A220 remains the top of the regionals for me. I guess JetBlue has some issues with their staff, and, believe me, their Flight Attendants made that perfectly clear!

[@NewYorkAviation]

Yes, with any airline crew can be hit or miss. I suppose I just lucked out, my crew were incredible.

you unlucky yanks have terrible service on domestic flights that take as long as coming to europe !!

[@alexd6746]

They don’t offer amenity kits in coach or multiple beverage services on domestic flights. After the first beverage service, more beverages are available on request, meaning you have to select them on your screen and ask for one… This flight is different because it’s international and going to London.

[@mrc6182]

@@alexd6746 6+ hour flight! Amenity kits aren't a biggie, but only one snack/beverage service and someone requested a sandwich that wasn't available. May be domestic, but JUST as long as East Coast U S. to London! Sorry, man. No excuses! Sh*t FA's!

[@sergiolaurencio7534]

I will definitely select Jetblue if I travel to Europe one day over the other US carriers. Question: The small fridge or bar in the front is available for both business class and economy class, did something happen that you didn't go to? And what do I remember they offer free wi-fi and I don't remember their IF to be that lack🤔. Wonder if they would get a widebody? My thought is to buy a330neo, the 800 and probably Airbus make them a discount since is their most unlucky plane. And probably buy some use 330-200. And I am sure they would definitely make the very excellent jut as your video( I mean that your video is excellent)

[@wadew4091]

Yes there's free WiFi And the reason B6 is using narrow body for their transcontinental flights is that.... it fits into their business model ultimately allowing them to charge lower fares. It's way cheaper to operate an a321 to LHR over an A330.

[@NewYorkAviation]

I don’t think I had access to the front bar. Would’ve love to try the Wi-Fi, but completely forgot. I was more comparing the IFE to mainline US carriers, still a great system.

[@sergiolaurencio7534]

@@wadew4091 agreed. But is they still one to expand then the 330 need to get in. But that another story and not necessarily now

[@wadew4091]

@@sergiolaurencio7534 the a330 may come eventually. There's wording in the flight attendant contracts which allows for negotiations interms of pay and work rules in the event they acquire wide body. But it's no secret their goal was to disrupt the market with lower fares and the 321 allows them to do so. It comes in cheaper for them to operate those flights using the a321 5 flight attendants instead of 10 3 pilots instead of 4 140+ meals instead of over 300 8 hotel rooms instead 14..... Etc etc etc... You get the picture

[@BHopper88]

@@sergiolaurencio7534 the “Pantry” area is accessible to anyone in the cabin and sits between the last row of Mint and the main cabin. If you want another soda/snack you just get up and get a second, third, or whatever helping. Works out really good since the cans of drinks are always cold too. WiFi is free and tends to be faster than those airlines that you have to pay for access.
