![]() Also, it was the westbound service where a quick meal is less of the goal. With only six passengers on my flight the meal service went plenty quick. My choice for dessert on board was “Yes, please!” It was a very good choice. That meant no problems getting both the vanilla gelato and the cheese plate to help send me into nap time. In theory passengers also select one of the two dessert options, but the flights are catered for all 24 seats right now, even with loads much lower. Snacks before dinner when departing London on JetBlue’s A321LR My main course choices, including Chicken Milanese, Cavatelli, and Roasted Carrots Passengers pick three of five dishes for the main meal and two of three for the second service. Menu for the main meal out of London on JetBlue’s new transatlantic service Dishes were designed in partnership with Pasquale Jones and offer a range of choices for travelers, served tapas-style. Much like in economy class on the outbound half of the trip the food for the London to New York segment was top notch. I like little things like this in the JetBlue A321LR Mint cabin.Įven the Mint lozenge/logo shape on the tray table (though not on the plates anymore) showed up. The Mint lozenge/logo shows up on the tray table. These include the textured fabric sidewall lining from Tapis and the storage bins everywhere in the Suite seat. Another storage compartment in the JetBlue Mint Studio. But, combined together, the overall value they bring adds to the comfort and experience on board. There are a ton of little touches that, alone, don’t really seem to matter. There’s also a bit of mint branding on the sleeve cuff, though it is set to be read by the person wearing the shirt, so that’s a little strange. That the napkin doesn’t have the button hole makes that less an issue for the PJs and more an issue for the dining situation. Points scored for including pockets, but also no button for the napkin when dining. Passengers in the Studio also receive pajamas for the flight. The small throw pillow on the side bench is cute and perhaps useful to someone looking for extra support when sleeping. In addition to the extra space on board, the Mint Studio gets two extra amenities. No passenger storage in the bin over seat 1A There is still plenty of overhead bin space in the Mint cabin, but this is an unfortunate quirk for the people paying a surcharge to sit there. But I see it more as a general spaciousness concept rather than the bed or guest dining bits used to sell the space.Īlso of note: the bin over seat 1A is not available for passenger use. Really anything to feel a little less cramped on a plane should be welcomed. Lots of flat space to sleep on here.Īll of which is to say that the extra physical space is nice. How, exactly, a passenger would contort to use that space remains unclear to me. The company uses this extra surface area to bolster the claim of offering the most sleeping area in business class across the Pond. When the Studio converts to a bed the extra space becomes part of the flat surface area. I tried the “other” seat in the MInt Studio. Also, the food trays are larger than the side table, making dining there a challenge. You’ll want to be close with your dining guest, as two people in the space will likely be rubbing knees when seated side by side. I briefly sat on the side bench and would guess it is fine for a short period to chat, but not great for a longer dwell. On my flight, however, the seatbelt was not active and the crew indicated the additional seat is out of service for unspecified reasons. There’s a second seatbelt and second tray table to facilitate this. The extra space offers a tiny seat for a second passenger to squeeze in during flight, perhaps to join the Studio customer for a meal. Settling in for the flight with a cup of bubbly on the ground and plenty of space to be comfortable. And rather than dedicate that to storage or some other use, the company decided to add extra room to row one and call it the Mint Studio. The angle of the seats leaves a triangle of otherwise unused space at the front of the cabin. It also includes doors for each seat to provide a bit of additional privacy, though the low seat walls still mean anyone walking by can see in to the space. JetBlue is the launch customer for the Thompson Vantage Solo seat, a new offering with fully flat beds and direct aisle access for all passengers on a single-aisle plane. ![]()
