    I flew the LGW - JFK earlier this month in Mint Studio. Largest irritant, which wasn't that large, was the placement of the seat controls, but only in 1F. I kept accidentally knocking them with my elbow. Didn't happen in 1A on the other leg as I'm right handed. Also found the Mint Condition to be strong.

    I'm not 100% sure because I cannot tell whether they're cars parked up on the old runway or not? If they are, they that would be RAF Upper Heyford which was operational right up until 1994. F-111 bombers used to fly from there.

JetBlue's always had a good product though (I remember when they first started up and everyone made a big deal over the blue potato chips they'd hand out! Surprised they didn't sneak a bag into one of the storage cubbies in your seat!)

    @janellek21 3 роки тому +4

    I've flown JetBlue on a few domestic flights in the USA, but never in Mint class. I always thought their economy class was superior to all the other U.S. airlines, but I agree with you that if you're paying for premium class on one flight you should be given enhanced service on the other flights on your ticket that don't offer premium class. What JetBlue does seems a bit dodgy to me.
    Mint class looks amazing (especially the suites), and I'd fly JetBlue JFK-LHR in premium class if I was originating in New York, but if I'm flying out of, say, Charleston SC (now that BA discontinued the route), I'd stick with Delta or United so that if I'm paying for premium class I'd at least get it on all flights, not just the international one.
