Great video Paul! Truly excellent! It reminds me a lot of your last flight in JetBlue’s Mint Studio Suite from New York JFK to London LHR in their STUNNING Airbus A321LR I remember the last time you flew a JetBlue A321LR! I love the JetBlue A321LR however I wish it had their funky new livery on this aircraft, hopefully that all happens soon. 😅 Great video as always and my favorite part of any review the in flight entertainment and the menu! Wow 🤩 JetBlue’s food program looks also absolutely FABULOUS and delicious for sure! 🤤 Finally i love that "Dutch" sounding music 🎶 at 1:48 last used in your KLM 747 Retired video from Curaçao 🇨🇼 to Amsterdam 🇳🇱 SO SAD! I really miss that KLM 747-400! Cheers Mate 🥂 Wishing You Blue Skies & Tailwinds! @Calebs_Aviation

LOL, I didn't think you had a house or flat anymore!!?! I thought you were on the road the entire time!! I',m glad you had a good flight. JetBlue looks like they continue to do well on their hard product and soft product in the air. However, I had a really bad experience with them traveling to San Juan, PR for a cruise back in Feb 2020. Between the app (checking in online early) and the phone based customer service not fixing the problem, I was double charged for luggage. It was the way that I was blown off by the customer service rep that really did it in for me for the airline. Great review though as always. Your enthusiasm is infectious.

Used Mint suites and studio to cross the Atlantic over the last 24 months and while I love the service, I thought hard product things were starting to show their age. Dirt in the small recessed area where the mint seats are numbered and illuminated, the additional flap that makes the front 2 seats into a bigger bed was broken on both studios, trim loose etc.

Looks amazing, but as you say at quite an economy support price! I would like to try it one day. I wonder if they will extend their offerings to other East Coast cities like Orlando, or if that is pushing the range of the aircraft too far.

@alexmcwhirter6611 9 ай бұрын

Maybe A321XLR would have the range when it enters service.

@mrvwbug4423 9 ай бұрын

4000nm, which is the range of the regular LR is already enough for Orlando to London or Orlando to Paris, not quite enough for Orlando to Frankfurt. Madrid and Lisbon are also in range from Orlando. The XLRs 4700nm range when it enters service will have range to reach from most of the US east coast to basically all of Europe, or even Denver to Western/central Europe

Hi Paul 👋. Glad to hear that you have the same opinion as I do about JetBlue's Mint Class service. They are my favorite airline to fly trans-Atlantic and transcontinental in the States. I hope that they will eventually add new cities to their system, join an alliance and add lounges but that may be wishful thinking on my part. 😂.
