The Food And DrinksĪirlines love to tote chef partnerships, but they rarely translate to much worth speaking about. Thanks to an early arrival, that wasn’t nearly as terrifying as it might have otherwise been.
#MINT REVIEWS TV#
The pillow and duvet were of an excellent standard and the amenity kit had everything I needed to freshen up ahead of a TV slot I was scheduled for less than 30 minutes after landing. If they do that, the experience will jump ahead another light year.įine touches, like bedding and amenities didn’t disappoint either. Literally – the only thing that could be better would be a retrofit of faster and more modern entertainment screens. There’s a remote to control the television screen, which is a bit antiquated but now that I’ve gotten that little tidbit out there, we’re already past the only downside to mint. My favourite feature: the little pouch near the charger which perfectly cradles your phone in a visible position. Unlike many seating setups they are placed within easy reach, but away from any part of you which may brush them out of place and dislodge them while you rest. A “throne” seat on JetBlue Mint features no fewer than 3 AC power outlets and 3 USB charging ports. While some seats are style over function, this was anything but.
It’s just you, two big arm rests and a privacy door, and it’s about as first class as business class can get.
#MINT REVIEWS UPGRADE#
This is an instant upgrade over most legacy airline business class setups, with the exception of some Delta One planes. The ultimate win: a throne seat.Įvery Mint seat reclines into a fully flat bed with over 6’1” of room when fully flat, but even numbered rows (2, 4) offer “throne” seats without a neighbour next to you, and no one to step over. We’ll get back to her, and Carrie her fantastic partner in service shortly.Įveryone in business class has kinda already won in the grand scheme of things, at least for the duration of the flight, but there are levels within levels when it comes to JetBlue Mint. Before you click away with doubt in your mind, I’m talking about a cabin crew member named Angel, who was probably the greatest cabin crew member I’ve ever encountered, who set the tone for the experience.įor the 5 hour journey, I had a chance to imagine what flying must have been like in the supposed golden age of service. Within seconds of boarding, I was proverbially touched by an angel. By the time I got on board JetBlue, I was tired, a bit over my travels and ready for a breather. I had just come off a long transcontinental flight from New York to LA a day before on a legacy US airline and while there was nothing wrong, there wasn’t all that much right with the experience. Here’s a detailed review of the experience on board. The “Mint” seat is no longer new, but everything about JetBlue “Mint” business class is a breath of fresh air, and everything about it made me want more of it, in more places, and right now. This was one of them.Īfter years and years of flying business class on legacy airlines, that’s exactly what this was, and nothing less. Some flights really can be more than just a flight, they can be an experience in hospitality.
