On a recent flight to Paris, I got to experience JetBlue's business class for the first time.
Mint, the company's playful, sophisticated take on first class, offers more than just lie-flat seats.

In June, I was introduced for the first time to the perks of business-class travel during JetBlue's inaugural flight to Paris.

On the rougly seven-hour flight across the Atlantic, I got to experience the benefits of Mint, the company's playful first-class section. Amenities included with Mint ranged from priority security and boarding to gourmet food and high-tech gadgets — and I was entirely blown away by just how nice it was.

From the boarding process to the lie-flat seats, here's a ranking of Mint's coolest amenities.

Insider paid a press rate of $1,300, one way in Mint and returning in economy.

7. The expedited security was cool, but admittedly not much better than regular security.

2. I didn't use them much, but the high-tech, noise-canceling headphones were the coolest perk I'd ever seen on a flight.
