Flying JetBlue New Mint Studio Business Class A321LR Transatlantic

- I tried out the new JetBlue Mint Business Class from LA to New York then onward to London, all the way across the Atlantic on a single aisle Airbus A321.
On my first flight from LA to New York, I was in a regular JetBlue Mint Suite. The seat was facing from window to inside the cabin. The dining concept was different and I could choose 3 plates and 1 dessert. The food both look and taste phenomenal. JetBlue has a great new product on the US Transcon market.
In New York, there was no lounge available for Business Class. I boarded my next flight to London. It was operated by A321LR with auxiliary fuel tank. The pilots explained their narrow body transatlantic operation. On this flight, I paid an extra $299 upgrade to sit in JetBlue Mint Studio in row 1. It has extra room with an extra buddy seat and table. I checked out the rest of the JetBlue product in both Core economy and Mint Business Class. At the end of the flight, I gave my verdict whether the JetBlue mint studio is worth the extra money.
JetBlue has become my favorite airline for both International and Domestic flights. I have yet to splurge on a Mint or Mint Suite but after seeing how nice it is I plan on going for it next time. The fact that the coach seats all have more leg room (and overhead storage bins) than any other airline I've been on has made me a loyal jetBlue customer from now on. Plus the blue lighting is aesthetically pleasing to the senses.
I remember when JetBlue's whole deal was "we don't do first/business so we can give economy more space" and the whole live TV thing was a game changer. my family vacationed in NYC and Jetblue was our go-to airline. I'd like to try Mint sometime.
In business you have to adapt or die. JetBlue, like many other successful companies, is constantly evolving to meet market demands and remain competitive. I worked for the company for 13 years but left a few years back to pursue another career. I'm always rooting for them.
I love the climate announcement when the next shot is the engines spooling.
I don´t know why, but I like this Airline much more than the other US-Airlines.
Everyone does
for good reason. JetBlue puts effort into their customer service and products and it really shows. That said, I’ve heard nothing but good reviews about their new mint product and I wouldn’t mind paying between 100 - 200 dollars for the mint, especially with all the extras you get with it.
@@StallionFX1 the only thing the stops then is the fact that they don't have longes and not a lot of good routes in the US. But I have good news for summer
@@StallionFX1 trust me, JetBlue’s customer service sucks
@@sergiolaurencio7534 I think they are making a lot of changes this year, considering their international routes alone. So it would only make sense to implement a lounge. As far as their domestic routes go, financially for routes that are shorter than 4 hours, just doesn't make sense, but that could change.
Those pilots were incredible! I loved how they explained everything.
JetBlue has the best domestic business/“first” product in the US today. Mint is comfortable, the food is really quite good and innovative for airplane food. The seats are awesome, with a very nice selection of video and entertainment on the IFE. Very good selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and the FAs seem genuinely happy.
My preferred airline for transcon travel.
I disagree heavily but ok
@@TysonIke always your right to disagree. My comments are based on flights both before and during the pandemic. And I’ve flown all the transcon domestic carriers multiple times. Share your thiughts
I agree completely, Love jetBlue for domestic travel. Always top notch service and from all my experiences, have had no delayed or canceled flights with them like I’ve had with American or Delta.
Only way to go.. Jetblue!
@@Nuffy617 flying JetBlue means you are missing out on United’s and Delta’s better products
Great transatlantic flight, and the Mint Suite would definitely be worth it for the extra space - being able to sit in another seat for a meal etc. Love the idea of the direct TV and free wi-fi. I would expect these flights to be in big demand and very successful as the US opens to UK travellers on Monday. BA need to take notice of this competition.
Amazing crew interaction, especially the pilot and co-pilot, Thumbs up for the crew on the trans Atlantic flight.
Been flying JetBlue since they began and I have nothing but praise for them. My favorite USA carrier, by far. Now it looks like they're killing it with the new luxury products. Great video🥂
JetBlue mint has been my best business class experience to date by far . Food is amazing , flight attendants were the best , plane was clean and fresh . Even the pilots were funny . Great product they have going . They should offer on more routes .
3:25 that is the coziest first class cabin I have ever seen, I’d live there if I could! JetBlue really knows what they’re doing.
I have loved JetBlue for years. Have had some wonderful experiences from the U.S. to the Caribbean.
Same here , flew from Newark to St Thomas. Great flight. Jet blue is the only way to go
The cabin on the A321LR looks amazing! The moment I stepped on that plane, I fell in love with it.
Considering that jetblue is kinda sorta a low cost airline, the transatlantic part was awesome!
This is what I was going to type instantly as a Miami flyer... I cannot believe he trusted JetBlue to fly across an ocean (bites teeth)
It's like if you are in Europe and you used RyanAir to fly to New York.
@@dertythegrower JetBlue really isn’t all that low cost. They just offer a better bang for but for what they offer but they’re by fair stilll very much more expensive than frontier and spirit.
@@dertythegrower I’d fly JetBlue before flying American and United. Delta fares a bit better.
@@Chrisp707- Delta is having a bad score and their best first class are on the 340 and 330, so I don't know what to tell you
@@dertythegrower Aaa, and welcome to the club, I am also a Miami flyer. And I can say Jetblue is a great option to fly, in fact, they wind the best domestic fire class in the world on 2021. Jetblue would definitely be my second option or plan B to go to Europe
.
I love this! I’d love to fly around different airlines and planes. My current favorite is the A350-900
Never a dull moment watching your travel videos Sam we love them. Keep inspiring us with the best
I enjoyed your trip Sam.I loved the onboard services and spacious interior in both club and the other class.That service and meals are worth $299.Good work Sam.Hungrly waiting for your next trip video.
A month ago..u were on Airfrance flying first class....now ur on a A231 flying transatlantic!
I LOVE UR LIFE
Good job Lance fitting into the cockpit or flight deck…what a guy
*Who used to love the square puddings that you used to get on planes?* They were the highlight of my flying while staring out the window
You’re my IDOL - when I grow up, I want to be just like you!!!
You KNOW how to LIVE!!!
Personally, I think the Mint Studio would makes sense for long haul flights (7 hours or more). On a return flight like LHR to JFK (8 hours plus) I would probably pay extra for the studio, but I’d still be fine with the regular mint product. I think it comes down to the individual and their preferences/tolerance for flights. To each their zone (literally lol). Either way, JetBlue looks like a top choice flying, especially with the Mint product on transatlantic routes. I can’t wait to try it myself sometime soon. Great review Sam!
JetBlue has inaugurated flights to London gatwick london heathrow on August 12 2021
I love the videos, Sam! So great to watch. Have to mention that technically, JetBlue is considered a discount airline in the US, so they might not have all the amenities. That being said, their product is still impressive and I love the review!
I think if they have the opportunity to be bigger, they would definitely do. I can't believe they are the best trying and don't get much😔
Jet blue is my favorite airline. I was on the a321 from New York to L.A. and back.
Loved you video Sam as always. My husband works for jetblue at JFK as ground operations crew member. Been with them 14 years. The flight to London is band new for them and they take good care of the London flight. 😊👍I work at JFK as well and wish I could have met you. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you for such lovely comment Tracey! Hope JetBlue continues to shine across the pond!

Jet blue is a amazing airline, there cabin design is very beautiful,and flight attendant are so friendly . Wish to catch a flight with you Mr.Sam
Not sure you fly in U.S. much to claim such a thing.
@@dertythegrower I you fly Jetblue, yes you can say it. There are not perfect, but a least they try more than other US airlines
Wow the food on Jet Blue is really impressive! I hope they expand their routes soon.
SAS switched their Copenhagen - Washington DC Route to the A321LR today. Due to headwinds todays flight took over 10 (ten!) hours.
JetBlues product is just AMAZING. If they expand more into Europe and also to un/underserved cities like OSL, HAM, DUS, BHX or LYS the product would get even more amazing and its all possible with the A321LR/XLR.
That's interesting what you said about turbulence over the Atlantic. A few years back we flew on an A321 on a flight to Hawaii and had the worst turbulence I've ever been on. A321 has an undersized wing, so I think that's part of that, and it tends to get tossed around more in turbulence. 757 has a much larger wing for its size. After that trip I swore I'll never do anything smaller than a 757 for transoceanic again.
Yes you are so right..These planes have longer bodies and short wings.Compare to a 747 or 777 the wing surface area is much smaller.This were not meant for transatlantic flights .Trouble is more companies will use these to maximize profits.They care little for passengers comfort.
Jet Blue always has meals for purchase in economy. Aside from maybe Alaska, the offerings are MUCH better (and cheaper) than Delta/AA/United. The economy pantry on Jet Blue offers a lot more than the big three in terms of snacks. Honestly, getting a whole can of soda in economy on a JFK to LAX big three flight is like asking for the CEO's first born. It's just how it is.
I agree. I think Sam's advocating for Economy is a bit of a reach. He's trying to show how "in touch" he is with the masses but he's not. His Economy reviews are few and far between and he has more private aviation/cargo reviews than any other aviation UA-camr.
Wow you guys go the extra mile to go and pay for anything. The airline need to go back to serving food on long haul flights. Snacks are not acceptable on these flights. Sam did well by bringing this up.
on JFK-LHR economy meals are free- they just have snack boxes for purchase on other routes
There is something about the simplicity of the Airbus A320 family cockpits that is so satisfying for me to watch over and over again. I do simp Airbus more, sorry Boeing fans. It do be like that sometimes.
I think that the A320 just looks nicer than most Boeing planes, the a320 has good interior lighting.
A350 cockpit: “am I a joke to you”
Thank you Sam to show us Jetblue B Class. I do not have to worry anymore to fly B Class with jet blue.
Hey Sam, i love your videos. I am a young aviation enthusiast and i love to watch your videos because you teach me so much about the world of Aviation. Much love from the Caribbean
Can't wait to visit the Caribbean again so I can pass the dutchie on the left hand side!
Jet Blue is the best US airline with its premium cabin. Domestic and international. The service is far more attentive.
No lounge, angled seats, narrow body only, and a subpar IFE doesn’t sound like best premium cabin
@@AirborneGoat anyone who wants to enjoy their experience
Jet blue just looks modern and clean
Wow! 🤩 what a beautiful plane!
You picked a good seat for a transatlantic flight from New York JFK to London Heathrow !!! My 1st flight was 33 years ago to London onboard a 747 from Dulles to London Heathrow I was sitting in Ecomony and I was 12 years old when I flew
Happy that you're standing up for the economy folk. :)
This is the best presentation I have ever seen.
JetBlue does economy meals when going transatlantic, and the meals are actually really good for economy!
I love jetblue all around. It’s our top airline to use. Can’t wait to use mint.
Impressive, looks like B6 has done its homework and passenger surveys for its long haul cabin service.
JetBlue is the best out of any American airliners I’ve ever flown in my opinion
I like you attitude and respect for anyone when you review many flight,and not overackting 😉👍
Hey Sam, I was able to fly Jet Blue first generation mint suites a few years ago and honestly I think you would have really liked that product better for the domestic leg of your flight. Some of the best food amongst US carriers. Can’t wait to try the Mint studio.
Agree, the food was simply the best among all US carriers I think. Love to choose 3 dishes instead of the conventional starter/main.
@@SamChui in 12:32 you flew over my house by the way great video
@@lorenzo99945 now we know where you live >:)
@@ILoveQazaqstan so
@@ILoveQazaqstan what are you going to do
Thank you for the video. will be flying the mint from NYC to LA next month.
Ahh so happy you made this video!! I'm a flight attendant for them and also love your videos.
Hello Sam, you're my true inspiration when it comes to aviation. My biggest dream, the one and only, to fly an airplane someday. Someday! Just like you did, I want to have a CPL as well.
From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Thank you so much for this first look at the transatlantic Jetblue.
Totally agree with you Mr. Chui. They need to serve a good meal for such long flight.
Nice landing
I've been recommended to fly JetBlue for long domestic flights and I can't wait for it! I definitely will be experiencing the Mint All Excess Business Class package in May. It looks so cozy. I also have never flew business class before!
JetBlue are a good choice! I wish Australian airlines introduce this concept to medium haul services. 🛫
Hey Sam great review.......I'm not sure if the A321LR and the A321NEO are similar? But if they are wow!!!!! I travelled the end of February 2020 from Dublin Ireland to Newark NJ on a 321NEO was really hoping for the A330 but man was I surprised what an incredible aircarft both inside and out. I remember saying to my wife on takeoff "Holy Crap" this is the fastest take off I ever experienced. The power to weight despite having to cross the Atlantic was nothing I had experienced before...............super impressed. Jay 44 Ireland
I use to fly the Max with Norwegian from Scotland to the east cost, the west bond leg was endless. Can't wait to try that one
Airbus just makes the best planes.
Great JetBlue review! And happy birthday Sam!
Thank you for another great video, the Mint product looks fantastic and the wifi could be a game changer in deciding an airline to cross the atlantic. My question for you is would you do this double hop from LAX to London instead of a direct flight on a widebody? This is something I am really considering for the better product.
i would not expect jetblue to have a suite at all!
Remarkable flight number to Heathrow 👌🏼.
Jet blue is a fantastic airline
Thank you Sam the information you provide is invaluable.
The closest I'll get to the JetBlue 321-271NX Mintroduce Myself is the Sky Marks model I have in 150 scale for now. But it looks like a real comfy seat. Doubt I'd get any sleep either.
Another Great video Sam
avaition+computer=perfect
I like how you review flights
Pressed the 👍🏻 button even before I started the video. That’s how much I can vouch on the quality of the video. Thanks Sam for another stunner of a video.
Jetblue has had great experience even though the pandemic
What an original flight umber for the A320 going to London. ahahaha. James Bond reference. Great Video Sam.
10:15 this is a GAME CHANGER!!!
Morning Sam, this is the aviation's future!!! no more 4 engines acft, for flts up to 9hs.
I was waiting for you to do Jetblue. So cool!!!!!
Really enjoy your aviation videos wish to fly with you some day.
I’m flying mint KJFK TO EGKK IN TWO HOURS I’m a mosaic member and JetBlue is the best US airline.
I looks fantastic this A321 i wonder what longer routes Jet Blue will use the even longer range A321 XLR.
Awesome vid mate. I really enjoyed it!
😉
Awesome review Sam, cheers!
Hi Sam... thanks for the video. I was curious about this service. Thanks.
I am not sure I understand the issue about narrow X wide body for medium haul....even long haul if the fuel tanks allowed. Most people on long flights only get up to the to the toilet. If they want to stretch, they only have the isle anyway. If you are in business class, you have a super comfy seat. You asked the pilot how he can go 8 hours on a narrow body, his seat is pretty much the same size on a larger plane anyway. Then, you get on a private jet to go the same distance, where you cannot even stand up straight and all of a sudden that is fine. I actually you rather be in a narrow cabin across the Atlantic than in a sections of coach with 200 other people ten seats across. Yes, I agree nothing beats a 747. My favorite plane is the 747. Firs time to North America was on a Pan Am 747, then first time to Europe, another 747 on NW. But listen, times are different. Safe travels.
Fantastic review, thank you!
Always waiting for the amazing videos finally here 😻😻
I haven't flown Long Haul on a Narrow Body Like The New A321LR From JetBlue but I'm still thinking of giving it a try in the upcoming years so I'll save up towards that for London Trips from New York hopefully soon Good Job Sam Chui Awesome Video Trip Report.
Great video as always
And I agree with you bring back the food on economy class !!!
I am from India....I am your big fan ❤️
wow this video was like an old school Sam review. i like it. thanks !
ordering from your seat is a pretty neat idea
I am glad you had a good time do the transcon flight. You take me back to doing the PS Service with my former airline United.
It is different seeing the smaller Airbus flying the Atlantic. For me For a single aisle aircraft it is the 757s that I still feel comfortable flying the distance across.
There have been a few airlines that have used the 757s to fly over the Atlantic. And then flying over the Pacific to Hawaii I still love flying the 757s to Hawaii. Now, up until the pandemic problem British Airways has the smaller all Business Class Airbus 318 flying over the Atlantic that fly into London City Airport. Have to see if they are still flying with that smaller aircraft with the present and soon I hope getting back to the new normal of flying. I still like the 757s aircraft to fly long haul. I do admire the flyers that like the Airbus narrow bodies flying the distance. We also have many flyers who have their small corporate private jets to fly the long haul distance. That is very nice to fly the Gulfstream with others like that corporate jets over the large oceans and that is a treat!!
You make a comment about turbulence on the transatlantic sector maybe being worse in a smaller airplane. I would dispel that myth - my crossing back and forth on Oct 31 and Nov 9 were some of the roughest crossings ever, the approach to London being especially lurch-some. This was on BA 787-8. I think it's just stormy weather. But emotionally, I agree that it's somehow not so bad on a bigger airplane....
Good Review 😇
Guess this flight was not sponsored 😀
super cool!
Looks like a fantastic product. I’ve never flown JetBlue but have always heard good things.
In December, I’m treating myself to a trip to Geneva, Switzerland. Never been. Turkish Air 787 / A330 / A321 on the round trip. Will be my first time on a 787.
JetBlue is actually really good. As with anything dealing with customer service there’s a few bad apples. However, overall JetBlue is definitely I’d say superior in my eyes to the big 3 in the US.
Flight 007 🔥🔥
Nice flight report, Sam.
Oh my god. You finally did have a chance to fly on the A321LR to London. 1:35 China Southern A380 parked. 1:44 that Qantas A380 is still resting her wings. As for the cabin on the A321LR in this video, it looks pretty sick👍
I saw the Qantas to
your making us very spoiled...your making all your videos so detaield and comfortable and very entertaining XD!! tysm!!
Luxurious business class
Whoa, I am planning a trip to London this summer, and this airline just moved to the top of the list. Problem is I have flight credits at United and Delta that expire end of 2022..., so I may have to try Mint some other time.
Jet Blue is honestly a very good low cost airline. I have my upcoming flight to boston in a few days. Sitting in economy, but its still good cuz theres 32 pitch.
Well, welcome to boston?
Sam your videos has gotten me through these challenging times, and I hope to go to LAX next year for my birthday and do a bit of plane spotting!!!
I was in the hold unloading that aircraft 😊
