JetBlue’s new Mint Business Class is the Thompson Aero Seating’s VantageSOLO seat.
This is JetBlue’s upgrade in anticipation for transatlantic flights to London this summer. The upcoming Airbus A321LRs will feature this new business class with 24 seats arranged in a 1-1 configuration.
Additionally, JetBlue recently confirmed the upcoming A321neos will be delivered with these new Mint seats, but they’re expected to feature 16-seats and will begin flying between New York and Los Angeles this year.
I’ve seen worse business class cabins on 777s! I really want to do one of the JetBlue flights from London to Boston or JFK but I don’t think it would really work on the regular A321.
No I don’t mean the LR and XLR. I know would be possible on the regular A321 I just wanna do the route to Boston or JFK in IF. So would that be too unrealistic or…?
These two look different, if I had to take a guess it would be like the current Mint product where some are suites and others are just lie-flat. Instead, you have individual seats and then you have a larger one at the bulkhead
@darkeyes Jetblue is a budget airline but in the sense that their fares are cheap. Low-cost carriers can still be luxurious but offer lower fares. This is different from an Ultra-Low-Cost-Carrier or (ULCC) such as an airline like Frontier and Spirit (which are good :) ) which operate with high capacity, baggage usually costs money, fares are cheap, etc.
