Aircraft & Seats
The flights are operated with an Airbus A321 LR. You’d fly roughly 9 hours on the outbound flights and roughly 7 hours on your way back.
JetBlue ordered new Airbus A321 LR planes especially for their flights to London. These narrow-bodies have a great business class with lie-flat seats.
The plane has 22 Mint Suites and two Mint Studios in the first row. Every seat has direct access to the aisle. The Mint Studios are especially spacious, with a big sleeping area and a bigger TV screen. The Studios, however, cost €100 more.
Two pieces of luggage, each up to 32 kg, are included. Please be aware that jetBlue currently doesn’t operate any airport lounge, nor does it have a partnership.
The product has received glaring reviews from almost any major site.
