I really loved the design and high quality feel of the headphones and the sound was great. Unlike the headphones that I had just received on my American Airlines business class flight, that were extremely worn and even a bit of tattered, these felt very fresh. The headphones were from Master and Dynamic and very high-quality. With the door closed, it’s obviously a lot more private although you don’t have the tallest suite walls. Sometimes the door will slide all the way closed but other times I had to give it a little bit of a push. To close the door on your seat, there is a little latch button you pull and that slides out the door. It’s also nice that they have a floor ramp that gives your legs a place to rest in the upright position.Īs for privacy, it’s great even whenever the suite door is open. In other words, it gives you more of a first class feel while surrounded by business class.Īnd obviously with a seat like this legroom is not an issue. With its central design, it very much has a “throne” type of feel to it, which is only amplified by the fact that only four seats are comparable within the Mint cabin. Overall, I found the seat to be very comfortable and just a great way to fly transcontinental. So you’re definitely covered with the storage space! Then you also have a couple of storage pouches in the front including one directly below the TV monitor and one further down. There’s also a really deep compartment that opens up that could fit things like amenity kits, headphone cases, and more. The other side of the seat had a reading lamp, additional storage pouches, and one more outlet. The main counter area featured two power outlets (with two USB ports) so it’s a great laptop station. This suite clearly had a lot of counter space and it also had ample storage space One of the first things I look for in a business class seat is what type of counter space and storage it offers. JetBlue A321 Classic Mint suiteĪs soon as I finally saw the Mint suite, 2A, with my own eyes, I could tell that I was going to really like the seat. I highly recommend going with that suite since you have the optimal level of privacy and extra room. The side-by-side seats are more of your typical domestic first class product although they still have the lie-flat feature.įrom the bookings that I have done, there was no additional cost to select the fully enclosed single suite, so it was just a matter of booking early and selecting that seat. The rows alternate with odd rows having two side-by-side seats and even rows featuring a fully enclosed single suite. The cabin has a total of 16 Mint seats but they are not all the same, as the cabin has a unique configuration. I don’t know what it is about boarding a plane that makes some people act a fool but it’s one of the weirdest things. A couple of potential line cutters were turned away, including one who tried to swoop under the stanchion belt. It took me back to the days of living in the UK but was a little bit odd.įor the most part, boarding went pretty smooth. Instead, we had to go downstairs and board at a British Airways gate. BoardingĪfter we made our way over to the gate, I realized that we would not be boarding in a typical JetBlue boarding area. Plus, I was trying to save my appetite for the flight. We did have the option to spend a little bit of time at a Priority Pass lounge (Turkish) but, it just did not really seem worth it. The CLEAR staff was very friendly and professional which unfortunately I’ve found to be decreasingly common over the past few years.Īfter screening, it was time to take a very short tram ride over to our gate which only took a couple of minutes. I sympathize with her because it was so freaking early but at the same time when you are the first point of contact with Mint/elite customers you have to do a little better than early morning stank eye.Īfter checking a bag, we made our way to security where we breezed through thanks to CLEAR and Pre-Check. The agent working at the desk was clearly not in the best mood. We arrived to a pretty empty MIA around 4:30 AM for check-in and made our way to the exclusive JetBlue check in desk for Mint and Mosaic members.

Check-in In this case, the price for the 7 AM nonstop flight was about half the price of the other nonstop time and so we only had to pay around $730 per seat which I thought was great value, especially while earning 5X with the Platinum Card! If you’re flexible with redeye flights or early morning flights, you may be able to find the good deals easier. Like some other premium products, prices can fluctuate by a lot for JetBlue Mint.
