I’ve been trying for a while to fly on MINT, which is JetBlue’s alleged “Business Class” product but its more like First Class.  Mint is a lie-flat offering on longer haul & international routes, with a 2×2 and 1×1 layout.   The seats come with a 17″ monitor, privacy door, power ports, reading light, storage cubby, and more.    The seats are fairly comfortable and I enjoyed sleeping on my Seattle to Boston flight; I was surprised to see the plush bedding & amenity kit on a domestic flight, something we normally don’t see.  Most airlines that fly lie-flats on domestic flights just give you the seat, no extra amenities (eg: bedding, amenity kit) to go along with it.

Sadly I was too tired to eat or take photos of the food, but I enjoyed the predeparture drink and the menu was a nice touch.   Travelers have an option of items, mostly all cold, and a large assortment of drinks on board.    Wifi was super fast (when I used it) and the IFE was impressive – a huge 17″ touch screen monitor would keep me busy for days.    In the lie-flat position, I didn’t feel cramped at all and was able to get in a good 5 hours of sleep on my red-eye.   I did shut my privacy door just to see what its like – they are not as high as the Qatar Q-Suites, but I can see the draw to these.

In terms of affordability, JetBlue tends to price Mint in the middle of the pack, but the majors are now starting to price match.   I would highly recommend MINT over one of the other guys’ if given the chance.
