- JetBlue Airways has taken delivery of its first aircraft with the new Mint business class cabin.
- The private suites offer new fan-favorite amenities like direct aisle access and wireless charging.
- The long-awaited flights to London from the East Coast are slated to begin in the third quarter of 2021.
JetBlue Airways' swanky new business class suites have landed.
The New York-based carrier marked another milestone towards launching flights to London having taken delivery of its first Airbus A321neo with the upgraded business class seats that flyers will enjoy on transatlantic flights later this year.
Even casual Mint flyers will immediately notice the difference in the new product. Every seat offers fan favorites like direct aisle access and closeable doors that offer the utmost privacy, all in a residential-style designed suite.
The A321neo is one of JetBlue's newest aircraft and can be found flying JetBlue's longest routes including New York-Guayaquil, Ecuador thanks to its increased range and cost-saving economics. It's also known for its quiet cabin and ultra-modern features like mood lighting.
The jet that will take JetBlue to Europe, however, has yet to arrive. The Airbus A321neoLR offers an even greater amount of range and JetBlue plans to pack it with even more business class suites to accommodate the near-endless supply of premium flyers on the route.
And before London flights takeoff, the suites will first make a West Coast debut on the New York-Los Angeles route this summer. JetBlue's long-awaited transatlantic flights have been delayed due to the pandemic but are set to launch in the third quarter.
Here's a sneak peek at the business class suites that will soon take JetBlue flyers to Los Angeles, London, and beyond.
