I’m no stranger to JetBlue Mint, but I was slightly apprehensive in the days leading up to this flight. Would it be as good as it was the last time I experienced it? It was no doubt a concern since it would be the exact same product it was they day they launched it so many years ago.
Thankfully, I’m happy to report that Mint is still my favorite premium/business class product in all the US. The cabins are still spotless and clean, and the service amazing.
This is footage from flight 190, A321 service between San Diego (SAN) and New York (JFK) back in late November 2019. The aircraft registration was N990JL, and I was seated in 4A for the 5 hour flight.

You don't swing the camera around yourself or the public, nor be obnoxious around people, which still works pretty well since your voiceovers are high quality and calming. You don't sound overexciting or boring, you also have the right tone of cheery and witty. You keep the viewer entretained, make a few jokes, while still contributing a professional and well-rounded report. Just my opinion :)

I don't think I can afford business, nor do I need a zillion places to plug things in on a 6 hour flight. I don't want to have to pick my flights based on menus, and would really rather eat properly before the flight, or bring something I know I'll like on with me. My preference is to find a good deal on a good seat, and buy TWO so I know I can relax.

My week is made, a new SANspotter video from Scott! I have never tried Mint since I have not had the opportunity to fly Jet Blue since 2008, and heck I have only been in Business Class/First Class once and that was on Alaska back in 2013 but will hopefully have a Mint experience soon.
Enjoyed the video and all of my flights in Mint Class!
I Started with jetBlue back in 2003 , We had 2 flights to Dulles and the rest to JFK ! I was was in FLL was a Hub along with JFK and Long Beach . Wow how this Airline has grown !!!!
Dude the edit to match the dj scratch at 6:34.... bravo, that was fucking brilliant!
Alaska already had most of that concourse in Terminal 1 when they bought Virgin America, which was in Terminal 2. Once they consolidated operations, it all went to Terminal 2, and to make room for the ever-expanding Alaska network, the airport booted 3 or 4 smaller airlines back over to T1. But, help is on the way (along with a ton of construction). T1 replacement has been approved.
Thank you and yes B6 back to Term 2. Great video! San B6 💗
I never experienced JetBlue Mint,when I flew to Puerto Rico in 2016. But I did enjoy the flight. I'll definitely fly again on JetBlue the next time I travel.
Awesome video man! Have fun in New York
Happy new year!
Hey Scott, great video as always. As a SAN based Alaska 75k, I was thrilled when they moved AS to Terminal 2. I never thought I would see the T1 Wheel of Death again, and chuckled when you went "for a walk". Such a miserable experience. It's unfortunate that JetBlue was shoved over there with Spirit and Southwest. Always looking forward to the next video, and if I see you in the terminal I'll give you a wave.

So close to 40k! Been subbed on an alt acc. Since you where at 10k good luck to you in the future!
When I decide to visit New York Imma for sure fly on JetBlue's Mint. Fantastic quality as shown by you and the price is very good. Otherwise, keep on going and travelling cause we all are lovin your vids!!! Liked
Thats why JetBlue is my favorite airline for transcontinental buissnes cpass travel.

Needed some nourishMINT for tonight! I’m kinda glad I don’t have to worry about many food allergies anyway, but it’s good to hear you were alright after the sugar cookie.
I flew into Las Vegas in a mint suite last month.
I agree, I flew from Terminal 1 a week ago and it was soo small and crowded...I felt trapped....not a good first time experience for me departing SAN at all.
We don't have Jet Blue Mint in St Louis but this looks like it's worth taking a small plan to Chicago or driving to Chicago to fly to San Diego or San Francisco for family vacation in 2021

How much exactly is a ride on jetblue mint?
I have friends in St. Louis and have been many times and always via Chicago or Minneapolis St. Paul . I’m actually thinking of maybe next time into New York on a cheap ticket and then maybe jetblue mint if they fly to St. Louis ? Love your channel truly is right up there 👆
5:42 Yes, we have a BIG problem of you don't like sorbet! Lol jokes aside, jetBlue are always on point with their cabin and service. Really wish they can bring them down here to ATL. Nice video as always Scott!
Do you know how many flights leave and arrive at SAN everyday?
Not sure I like the look of this - I don't like Business class products that have two considerably different grades of seat in the same cabin - ends up like a mix of Business and Business Lite (or Business and Business Plus, depending on whether you're a glass half full or half empty). Out of curiosity, is there a difference in the price between the two seat designs on this airline?
Hopefully I get to fly on Mint heading to Boston in April.
Terminal 1’s replacement was just approved a few days ago by San Diego airport authority the report said it will cost 3 billion hopefully its worth it
I am hoping to fly Mint on my next trip!

I travel from San Diego to Fort Lauderdale frequently but JetBlue has not added Mint to that flight. I did contact JetBlue and they said that Mint takes up too many seats and they can not add in Mint as there is only one flight a day to Fort Lauderdale. However, if and when they add a second flight then they would probably add Mint.
What's the song at 2:58 ? and at the beginning
What is your thoughts on Lga airport
I agree SAN terminals are small and overcrowded. I flew mint from LAX to JFK best experience and service :-)
What was the cost, please? Edit: Also, is the single-seat still the same cost as the two conjoined seats(per seat)?
Where can I find this music?
Lol I always try to book that seat when I fly Mint.
Why does the thumbnail look like you're giving us a vibe check lol
Terminal 1 doesn't look much better than it did in the 90s.
I laughed at that statement about Jeb haha
It was a pretty brief glance at the dinner, and although I couldn't quite identify either chicken or salmon, I'm sure it was there and it was good. In general, US domestic flights don't exert themselves to make business class or first class as special as you'll find elsewhere, so it isn't hard for JetBlue to be the leader of the pack.
Nicest seat's I've ever experienced, makes Delta's first class seem like a complete waste of money. The only issue I had was that I did not realize the extent to which pressure would build up in your head when sleeping on a plane for that long. I flew from San Diego to New York and passed out for the whole flight on a red eye and woke up with an enormous headache.
Is that airport in San Diego is like the La Guardia of the West Coast?
Do you not wear any other other shoes when you travel?
Have to agree with you, Mint was and still is a breath of fresh air (and comfort) for those of us that live on the left hand coast but don't live in LA or San Fran. Having a nice layflat bed was a dream on the LAS-JFK route, much like SAN we got the older cabins even though the flights were just as long and priced just the same as LAX/SFO, and then came B6....And in a instant DL/AA/UA lost their JFK bound premium passengers, shocking huh. I actually had that conversation with my DL rep, he seemed shocked that I would switch my Bi Weekly flights to B6. Now all is not perfect, the food can sometime try to hard and IMHO, the FLL ground staff suck, but, I still silently thank the person who decided to give the non LAX/SFO crowd a decent seat...Except for those footwells, 6'3 and size 13 feet, so yeah, not so good there.

Happy New Year 🥳! Another great video and JetBlue Mint looks, well, mint! Way better than many business class offerings from 5* airlines (yes, BA I’m looking right atcha!). I think the Nourish Mint marketer is straight from Virgin - that’s very very virginesque. But nice touch and smart marketing. Look forward to your next review!

SANspotter I think their business class from your review and what it looks like knocks spots off BA old biz class (which, let’s face it is the vast majority of their fleet! I think only the A350 of which they have very few are set out with new J class). But looking for as to getting to the US again - it’s been a while and I think I’m in for some surprise! I used to go to SFO at least twice a year for about 6 years (in the dot.com days) - last time was 2000 - feels more recent but that’s what getting older does!! Condenses time! Anyway thank you so much for replying to my message and safe flying ✈️
