American budget airline JetBlue is now running long-haul flights direct from New York to London, with business class seating available at the snip of the price of competitor airlines.
Metro.co.uk tested JetBlue’s long-haul premium economy and business class offerings – Even More Leg Room and Mint – offering to see how the class categories weigh up. Here’s our verdict…
Snazzy blue lighting and clean white panelling gave the plane a spaceship-kind of vibe. And the more I settled in for my JetBlue flight, I realised this airline is definitely in touch with the future of plane travel.
The budget US airline, which isn’t too well known in the UK, flies to more than 100 destinations in the Americas and now it is running direct flights from Gatwick and Heathrow to New York.
The company’s new Airbus A321 long range aircraft offers 114 seats and 24 ‘suites’ and there are three seat categories, with these being Blue Basic (economy), More Leg Room (premium economy) and Mint (business).
