JetBlue also ranked No. 1 in five of the seven dimensions evaluated by J.D. Power for first/business class, including on-board experience, airline staff, ease of travel, value for price paid and level of trust with airline, underscoring the excellence of the Mint experience and the airline's commitment to reliable, caring service.
'This honor reflects the incredible work of JetBlue's crewmembers, who are committed to delivering an exceptional Mint experience from the moment they book our high-value fares to when they seamlessly reach their destination,' said Marty St. George, president, JetBlue. 'Mint was built to shake up legacy premium travel, and this award demonstrates that our approach is working. Through our JetForward strategy, we're staying focused on what we do best by offering great service, expanding premium experiences and prioritizing reliability for our customers.'
JetBlue's Mint Experience
Mint brings a fresh take on premium travel, combining comfort, personal service and thoughtful design. Available on select long-haul routes, Mint offers a boutique-style flight experience that stands out from traditional first/business class offerings. Key features include:
Hospitality-trained crewmembers who make every Mint customer feel at home
Fully lie-flat seats with Tuft & Needle ® cushions, comforters and pillows
Curated dining with restaurant-style small plates from NYC's Delicious Hospitality Group restaurants Legacy Records, Charlie Bird and Pasquale Jones
15-inch seatback screens with free movies, shows, live TV and more

This month, JetBlue continues to expand its Mint service with two new transatlantic routes from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to Edinburgh Airport (EDI) and Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD). The airline will later open its first-ever lounges at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), giving transatlantic Mint customers a complimentary space to relax, play and work before their flight.
Elevating the Experience for All Customers
JetBlue also ranked No. 2 in both economy and premium economy, demonstrating strong performance across the airline's core experience. The airline's rise from fourth in premium economy and fifth in economy customer satisfaction last year reflects strong momentum in the airline's JetForward strategy with customer-focused initiatives across the entire travel ribbon.
Earlier this year, the airline introduced EvenMore ®, a new premium experience for core customers that includes additional legroom and new benefits like dedicated overhead bin space, complimentary alcoholic drinks and a premium snack in addition to early boarding, and priority security. All of this comes on top of JetBlue's signature features for all customers: free high-speed Wi-Fi, seatback entertainment and free brand-name snacks and drinks.

Spirit Airlines May Go Out of Business Because of the Justice Department
The Department of Justice (DOJ) blocked Spirit Airlines' merger with JetBlue in order to preserve competition in the domestic airline industry. Now, it looks like Spirit may go under. In July 2022, JetBlue announced its acquisition of the foundering Spirit Airlines, which reported a net loss of $36 million in the third quarter of 2022 and $270 million in that year's fourth quarter. Ted Christie, Spirit Airlines' president at the time, described the deal as an "agreement to create the most compelling national low-fare challenger to the dominant U.S. carriers." But the DOJ saw things in a less flattering light. The DOJ sued to block the merger in March 2023, alleging that "the proposed transaction [would] increase fares and reduce choice on routes across the country" by eliminating JetBlue's "Largest Ultra-Low-Cost Rival," Spirit, from the market. The DOJ based its intervention on the Clayton Act, which prohibits acquisitions whose "effect…may be substantially to lessen competition or to tend to create a monopoly." The U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts blocked the merger in January 2024. District Judge William G. Young concluded that "Spirit is a small airline. But there are those who love it. To those dedicated customers of Spirit, this one's for you. Why? Because the Clayton Act, a 109-year-old statute requires this result—a statute that continues to deliver for the American people." But those who love Spirit won't benefit from the failing firm exiting the market. Spirit filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2024 and emerged in March 2025, following a period of reorganization. Spirit reported in its financial statement for the first quarter of 2025 that the airline had been "adversely affected by a challenging pricing environment" and that it expected this trend to continue for the remainder of 2025. Still, Spirit concluded that it would have sufficient liquidity to meet its future cash needs. Spirit's more recent report is less rosy. Spirit told the Securities and Exchange Commission it would take "liquidity enhancing measures" such as selling aircraft, real estate, and excess airport gate capacity in a bid to meet the minimum liquidity covenants for its debt obligations and credit card processing agreement in its second-quarter financial statement. This cost cutting is in addition to the furloughing of approximately 270 pilots as of November 1, which Spirit announced in July. (Some of Spirit's problems are the result of "lower flight volume…compared to the prior year period," which is partially due to Americans reducing discretionary spending on travel in response to the economic uncertainty caused by President Donald Trump's tariffs.) Spirit predicts that it will default at some point over the next twelve months if these drastic measures aren't successful, raising concerns about another bankruptcy. Brian Albrecht, chief economist for the International Center for Law and Economics, tells Reason that customers will be left worse off if Spirit fully leaves the market and sells off its assets. He also emphasizes that "bankrupt is not the same thing as out of the market." If Spirit files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, then the company will be reorganized. "The question is whether some restructuring preserves the competitiveness of Spirit. I am not optimistic about that," says Albrecht. If Spirit's performance following its first bankruptcy and restructuring is any indication of the company's long-term viability, there's reason to share Albrecht's pessimism. If bankruptcy drives Spirit to exit the market, the DOJ's actions will be largely to blame.
