JetBlue is bringing its Mint® premium offering to Orlando International Airport (MCO) this fall. Starting October 30th, passengers will have access to two daily flights to/from Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) with its Mint® (Business Class) cabin. One of the two daily, Mint-equipped flights will operate year-round, while the second will be seasonal in the winter.
JetBlue currently operates more than 60 daily flights to 27 destinations from Orlando International Airport (MCO). It’s a focus city for the airline and also home to its Orlando Support Campus (OSC) (the airline’s training and support hub). The launch coincides with JetBlue’s 25th anniversary of service at Orlando International Airport (MCO) and it reinforces the airline’s deep-rooted presence in the region. To celebrate, JetBlue is offering one-way fares starting at $599 for Mint® and $109 for Core Economy at jetblue.com.
In addition to the Orlando expansion, JetBlue is also growing its Mint® offerings at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). The daily, seasonal Mint® flight between Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) will now continue through January 4th. Beginning January 5th, JetBlue will launch new seasonal twice-daily Mint® flights between Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS)(through June 10th). This route looks to serve travelers heading to major Las Vegas events like CES in early January. Promotional fares for the Newark to Las Vegas Mint® service start at $499 one-way, with Core Economy fares from $109.
JetBlue’s Mint® offers lie-flat seats, including some individual suites with sliding privacy doors, and an innovative dining experience curated by New York City’s Delicious Hospitality Group. Customers also receive wellness kits, Tuft & Needle bedding, free Wi-Fi, seatback entertainment, and free brand-name snacks and drinks.
Dave Jehn, JetBlue’s Vice President of Network Planning and Airline Partnerships, said:
Orlando has always been an important city to JetBlue, and we’re excited to debut Mint® service in this market with flights to Las Vegas. As we celebrate 25 years in Orlando, this marks an exciting new chapter for us and our Central Florida customers, who can now enjoy lie-flat seats, curated restaurant-style dining and premium benefits on a new leisure route, just in time for the winter travel season. With these added Mint® flights, even more customers in the New York metro area will have access to the comfort, style, and signature service that have helped redefine premium domestic travel since Mint’s debut.”
Anthony’s Take: JetBlue is going to add true domestic First Class seats next year, but it’s great to see Mint® expanding to more routes. United is not going to like the competition in Newark.
