The airline's Mint class gets an upgraded layout ahead of its New York to London route, launching this summer

Ahead of the launch of its eagerly-anticipated transatlantic New York to London flights this summer, JetBlue unveils a new iteration of its award-winning Mint business class, which features an upgraded all-suite 24-seat cabin layout. 

"Mint was an idea to make premium travel across the US less stuffy and more affordable, and its performance has exceeded even our most optimistic expectations of going beyond New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco," said JetBlue President and Chief Operating Officer Joanna Geraghty in a statement.

"It’s remarkable how Mint’s thoughtful design has resonated with customers as we successfully grew it to more than 30 routes. We put our heart into this redesign of Mint and were inspired by our original vision of offering customers an exceptional experience at a lower fare–which is what JetBlue is all about."

The new Mint business class features a herringbone configuration, a door for every suite, 17-inch seatback screens, wireless charging capabilities, and thoughtful space design, including an integrated ledge for your phone and storage space for laptops, shoes, and handbags.
