JetBlue Expands Its Mint Map in Las Vegas and Seattle plus Adds More Flights in California and Caribbean
JetBlue has announced its expansion plans for the airline’s successful Mint premium experience. This new round is expected to boost the number of Mint flights to more than 80 per day on up to 20 routes. Starting in January 2018, JetBlue Mint will be available in more new cities with new routes and will be expanded on existing routes.
Some Mint favorites are lie-flat seating, a signature cocktail, a tapas-style menu by New York City restaurant Saxon + Parole, fresh espresso from the first purpose-built cappuccino machine for a U.S. airline, amenity kits by Hayward and Hopper, and dessert from local artisan ice cream makers based in each Mint city on domestic flights. You can read about these features and more in Double Duty Daddy’s JetBlue Mint review from just three weeks ago.
Mint will expand in Las Vegas and Seattle and it will be available on more flights in California and the Caribbean.
