Does JetBlue offer a first-class flying experience? Kind of — and it’s not too shabby an option, either. However, if you’re looking for seats specifically labeled “first class,” you may have a hard time finding them; the airline calls its premium seats “JetBlue Mint."
Depending on the flight, there are additional tiers of JetBlue Mint seats that are even fancier. Some flights offer Mint Suites, which gives you a private suite complete with a sliding door. And in the even bigger Mint Studio, there’s enough room for two people.
So what is it like to fly in first class on JetBlue? Is JetBlue Mint really worth it? We break it all down for you in this guide to JetBlue's first class.
When flying first class on JetBlue, expect a lot of space: You’re getting a fully lie-flat seat that’s 6 feet 8 inches long. The seats even have cushions with adjustable firmness and a massage feature.
The seat will include a 15-inch (or larger) TV fully-loaded with free on-demand movies and shows, live TV and other entertainment, including meditation and digital newspaper access.

On some flights, your JetBlue Mint seat is actually an entire suite, which includes a tilting 17-inch seat-back screen, wireless charging capabilities, a phone ledge, in-seat power and small-item stowage.
