first jetblue mint flight between jfk and lax
JetBlue Mint JetBlue first announced its intention to introduce premium seats on some of its transcontinental flights in March 2013.[2] The company officially announced its Mint premium class product on September 30, 2013; the aforementioned service was to be available on flights between New York and San Francisco and New York and Los Angeles, with fares for Mint-class seats starting at US$599 each way.[3] Dave Barger, JetBlue CEO at the time, said that the move was necessary for the airline to better compete with its competitors,[4] which were operating lie-flat seats in transcontinental markets, leaving JetBlue with an all-economy class cabin.[1] The routes were to be operated with new Airbus A321 aircraft, and feature Wi-Fi connectivity. JetBlue's all seven daily round-trip flights between New York and Los Angeles were to feature the service by the fourth quarter of 2014, and all five daily round-trip flights between New York and San Francisco by early 2015. The first Mint flight, from New Yorkâ€“JFK to Los Angeles, was to begin on June 15, 2014.[4]
JetBlue In September 2009, JetBlue made changes to its TrueBlue program.[124] In the new program, members receive three points for every dollar spent toward a flight, excluding taxes and fees; members earn an additional three points for every dollar spent on a flight if they book online on the JetBlue.com website. Additional points are awarded if the member uses the Barclay's issued JetBlue Mastercard credit card to purchase the flight. The price of flights in points depend on the fare of the flight in U.S. dollars. The new program launched on November 9, 2009.[125][126]
