St. George added:
Our customers repeatedly share their love for our award-winning Mint experience, which is why we’re excited to expand this unique, premium service to even more destinations. The JetBlue Mint experience is designed with customer-first, residential touches that seamlessly bring the comforts of home to the sky including fully lie-flat seats, restaurant-quality dining and thoughtful amenities. We are confident that customers in Phoenix, Vancouver, and San Juan will appreciate this elevated service and the expanded travel possibilities that come with it.”
Two New Caribbean Routes
Finally, JetBlue is also adding two new Caribbean routes from New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK). These don’t have launch dates or frequencies yet released. JetBlue previously served St. Croix from 2011 to 2019.
- Bonaire’s Flamingo International Airport (BON)
- St. Vincent’s Argyle International Airport (SVD)
Anthony’s Take: JetBlue is licking its wounds after its failed takeover of Spirit and the dissolution of its Northeast Alliance with American Airlines. It’s great to see new routes and Mint service expanding.
