JetBlue Airways will offer even more luxury seats soon

JetBlue Airways had fairly modest expectations for its upscale Mint service when it launched less than 3 years ago. Wall Street analysts were also doubtful about JetBlue's ability to win over well-heeled travellers who would pay US$600 or more for a flat-bed seat on transcontinental routes. Instead, Mint has been an amazing success. In addition to attracting wealthy leisure travellers and small/medium business customers, JetBlue's Mint service has made inroads among corporate travellers who had previously been loyal to legacy carriers. This success has encouraged JetBlue to add more and more Mint flights. First, JetBlue will convert its 2 daily flights to San Diego to Mint service. One daily Mint flight between New York and San Diego will start in mid-August; the second Mint roundtrip will begin in October. <br/>
