JetBlue just unveiled its new first
Key Points:
- JetBlue is introducing its new "BlueFirst" domestic first-class cabin later this year, featuring recliner seats made by Collins Aerospace with customizations like 13.3-inch Bluetooth-ready seatback screens and plush "flex foam" cushioning from Tuft and Needle.
- The BlueFirst experience includes enhanced dining with "bento-inspired" meals on flights over 899 miles, curated wines, specialty coffee and tea, rotating snacks, and a seatback meal and cocktail ordering system called "Mixologist Mode."
- BlueFirst tickets come with perks such as two free checked bags, Group 1 boarding, and no change or cancellation fees for standard or flex fares, though a basic fare with restrictions will also be available.
- Lounge access is not included with BlueFirst tickets; access remains limited to Mint passengers, premium credit card holders, or those with Mosaic 4 status.
- The rollout will begin in 2024 with installations on Airbus A220s, A320s, and A321s, aiming for a majority of the fleet to have BlueFirst seats by the end of 2027 and completion by 2028.
