JetBlue - A321 - Business Class - New York (JFK) to Seattle (SEA) | TRIP REPORT

- JetBlue's Mint Business Class product is America's best and often the most affordable!
JetBlue was founded in 1999 and revolutionized passenger comfort by offering low-cost travel, but also having amenities such as inflight entertainment screens at every seat and Sirius XM satellite radio. In 2014, JetBlue took a gamble and changed its business model from a single-class airline (all Economy) by introducing a lie-flat premium transcontinental service on its A321s. The cabin is configured with 5 rows of staggered 2-2 and 1-1 (more private "Mint Suite"). The price tag is usually hundreds of dollars less than competing airlines, even though those carriers usually have a worse product.
My flight to Seattle only cost $603 USD, even though I booked it a week out when prices usually skyrocket. I had a great crew on my flight who took great pride in making the Mint experience as good as it could get!

From the opening montage to the closing montage and everything in between, this was an extremely incredible video and I enjoyed it thoroughly! To anyone not already subscribed, I recommend you do so, just hit the button! Well done Quebec Foxtrot Sierra and thanks for sharing!!!
I been flying JetBlue since 2004. With their outstanding customer service and their legendary in flight entertainment, I’m only loyal to JetBlue I wouldn’t fly any other airline.
Thank you for sharing a nice flight. Very nice and relaxing on a long haul...
Your videos are getting better and better. Every time I see there’s a new one, I click as fast as I possibly can ! Congratulations
Absolutely love Seattle. Always try to fly in at sunset with few/no clouds or at night; it’s so beautiful
The detail in these videos sets them apart. Excellent!
Nothing beats hockey on an airplane. Thanks for pointing out universities that was a nice addition
I really love how detailed and thorough your videography is and that is what we avgeeks love to see. I found myself not being aware of anything going on around me because I was so enthralled by your video. Great job!
💯
Very good review. I also traveled with jetBlue MINT from New York JFK to San Diego at the beginning of August. However, the ticket price was quite high ($838 for a one-way JFK-SAN ticket even if it was more expensive with Delta), no door to isolate oneself in rows 2 and 4 was working and therefore could not be closed and the cubby door also had difficulty opening and closing.
Despite all these minor inconveniences, I really enjoyed to fly with jetBlue in MINT class, it was much better than when I went back from San Diego with Delta (it was cheaper) in their new A321neo first class. The only advantage is I was able to enjoy the Delta Sky Club in San Diego airport as I then returned to Paris from JFK the next day in business class with Air France, Delta's partner company
Quintin speaks! 😂. Love the fun facts. Great vlog as usual. 👍
The jetblue pantry is absolutely amazing
Just found you and already earned my subscription! love the audio quality, and everything shown in your trip report! Loved the text commentary as well!
Of course.
I love JetBlue and there an awesome airline. I hope they start service to Hawaii and Rome, Italy
Amazing video keep up the great work. BTW I love your editing skills, putting the names of schools on top of the city is dope, keep doing that. I can't wait for your next one.
I appreciate that thank you! I'm glad you're liking that, I'll continue to add that extra information!
Hey buddy!! Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
Great trip report. The Mint Suite is my favorite service in the US, I've only experienced it once, hope to again some day. :P
Thank you for this one. A great job as usual. I'll be flying to Seattle very soon for mu cruise ship to Alaska. This time I'll be flying on AA from SJU-CLT-SEA.
JetBlue has a mint lounge at JFK. The rain moving horizontally on takeoff always fascinates me. I noticed no hot towel before your meal wh. is at variance with the brilliant service. One complaint I always have is int'l long haul costs approx. 10K return, and they give you plastic containers for your tea and coffee. And their meal service just about competes w/my lunches at Fork Lane School in Hicksville circa 1965. I never considered JetBlue as a method of conveyance back to NYC before watching this vid. Peace Out from a fellow South Paw!
Your content has gotten really good and JetBlue improves its business product! Overall great day
Thank you I'm glad to hear that! Mint has been America's best for almost a decade!
Agreed. Definitely the best business class in the USA. Thechot food is guaranteed which has become a thing of the past while flying first on majority of the Big 3 domestic flights. Thanks for sharing
love the b roll outros
Quintin is the best trip reporter youtube could've asked for, and I stand by that. Hes my inspriation lol.
That's $600 dollars pretty good for a vacation. Jet Blue fantastic. I like the A321 of all airlines nice airplane.
Thanks for highlighting JetBlue's Mint service 👏. I have been telling all of my friends that it is the best domestic Business Class in the States. Liked that you listed the universities in some of the cities that you flew over. Great idea! The dirty cabin was a let down and I hope the airline will improve their cleaning service. It's too bad that Mint Class isn't available on more routes. Take care and have a great week. ❤️✈️
Always have hope from the Universe.
That looked like quite a great 5 star trip report!
Love your videos bro!! Fully inspired me to make a channel of my own!!
When I get to the US one day I'll be travelling JetBlue or Delta such lovely cabins and service.
I have landed in Seattle on many flights at night time and it has always been beautiful even when it rains. Being partial to Alaska Airlines I have yet to fly Jet Blue and if I can help it, I will never fly UA or DL or AA into Seattle. Thanks for sharing this trip! I would like to fly Jet Blue at some point soon for I have seen their Mint Service on other videos and have been quite impressed with it!
Great video nice capture Good job
16:35 WOW absolutely right!!
That was a pretty good flight, I think. I go through Seattle annually to the state of Oregon, from Montana. 😊✈️.
Another great report Quintin, and I`d agree JetBlue likely offers the best onboard business class product domestically. I`m not so sure I would have been as generous as you in the cleanliness rating though!
Awesome video!
You here’s one. Love ❤
Even if you mistyped the travel date in the description (2022 instead of 2023), this was a wonderful report, Thanks !!
lit !!!
Thanks!
Man January is one of The Coolest month too travel even though there is alot of Snow in America and Beyond me I haven't experience Snow as yet but I hope too get there but with New York City first then Canada and London afterwards too both with Snow and some nice hot Mint Chocolate my Favorite during traveling time speaking of Travel I'm going too London in June 6th 2023 on Virgin Atlantic Airways A330's both going and returning so it will be fun.
Great video good job.csnt wait to see your next video from another aviation geek and flight attendant
Thanks a lot Hector! Much more on the way!!!!
@@QFSAviation great to hear since I'm a airline crew and a total aviation nerd. Aviation is my pure passion
Nice to see you saying a few words on the video. Wish you would do it more often rather than the subtitles. Takes your channel up a level.
JetBlue also flies to Vancouver, BC Canada (a bit further up than Seattle). It's a shame that the don't offer MINT on that route.
I actually made it to New York from Madrid the same day you left on this trip. I remember how mundane and wet the weather was lol.
I did stopped in NY that you knows, therefore, you never forget of my contact in NY. After two years you still looking for me and called th NY number to looking for me. My sister’s don’t know you then she contact me after I tell her to give my phone no. In Canada after you called me immediately and through over with your father’s from NY to Canada to see me. You did found me from Hong Kong all the ways to Canada. Unfortunately, I couldn’t give you my returns day’s. Each times you seen me to left that you carried the broken heart to go back to Hong Kong. Each times the disappointment caused your sadness painfully to say goodbye to me that goodbye didn’t ease your heart broken; added more to painfully thinking of me. No matter what, you won’t wanted to giving up; and made you feeling banding me to got hurts over and over added your guilt each day’s difficulties to passing by. You face carries of sadness and pains today’s, until last night; they still trying to destroy you more!!! People’s always for theirs own good don’t thinking of they’re the judgment of others how hurtful ! Only using you to get or takes advantage for themselves own good’s only; completely forgotten of others the pains and sufferings! All of them the laughter and feel proudly can hurting others of the pains to trade off yourselves the minutes of the showing off to destroy the life’s almost to the ends feels like! It’s I already knows who’s is the connection music with all that is not good enough to yours wanted to destroy furthermore! If that’s not enough then what’s enough for all of you?! Or you all have to see someone’s never able to forgive himself because I spend my life’s to helping the earth’s living being get the justice of the rights. Left him behinds for 25 years long; if that’s not enough for him then how long is enough for you all fingers pointing and monthly about others the relationship not belongs to you?! Why did you used a moment to thinking of your life’s how perfect that during the pandemic of the government did to yourself like. Without Hong Kong carryover all the dead payments for around the world’s then what would you life’s like today. Just let him go and release his pain and suffering! You all can kept me but let him go; I didn’t said anything’s is trying to protecting him not got hurts anymore. My daughter’s knows it all. You are the humanity damages but nothings good at all! I would like just my dogs dead is dead; kidnapping is kidnapped! I got robbed and stolen that just takes by myself; I didn’t had a words ask for helps; this times I do asking for helps because me to caused him today’s! How many peoples that your humanity world's wanting to eyes witness fir ut to destroyed then can ended! it's that made yours the day's more happiness and joyful to seeking others suffering; that's the governments dud to you all since the day you born; most of the peoples the missing pieces into theirs the head; it's not sickness! The most government did the damages that no one after them; we Chinese just helping you nit destroying you all of the world's did to yourselves today's still worry of Hong Kong not offer help to your ciuntry's! why would i helping you for you destroy my family's life's!!!
You had the best flight attendant in the land!
I would have deducted at least two rating points for him saying "No problem" instead of "You're welcome" when Q thanked him for his meal, but then again I'm an old curmudgeon and I realize I'm living in the past.
The bird sound was cute 4:00
I was shocked by how filthy the plane was. JetBlue is generally my airline of choice, and yes, the MINT product is overall a very good deal. BUT the filth that you showed, and your giving the cabin a 4/5 for cleanliness was, let's say, super duper generous. A good report as always, a very disappointing JetBlue filthy cabin experience that I hope someone from the airline sees and addresses because it looked disgusting (and the bowl for the nuts too!).
Thanks
I watched this while on AS682 DEN-SEA 8 FEB 2023!
No way! What time did you get to Denver. Today I flew from DEN-SMF!
@@QFSAviation I typed it wrong. Was DEN-SEA. (edited) Flight left around 11:00 am.
@@df446 no way my flight left at 11:50 am! We must’ve walked by each other
woah quintin speaks!
👍very good
4:11 you can actually hear the powerful engines of the queen of the skies
Never saw a bad review of Mint. Will definitely try it. Don’t you have TSA pre-check?
Interesting video. Question: Does JetBlue just charge extra for checked-in luggage or do they also charge for carry-on luggage? Myself, I have flown out of Buffalo-Niagara Int'l Airport (traveling from Ontario, Canada) on Southwest Airlines numerous times and find them good value for the money. They do not have a First Class section on their 737s but for short-haul flights (less than 4 hrs.), it does not matter. To me, I am more interested in getting the best bang for the buck.
How was the gelato? It looks really good. The entire meal looked great too! Better than what Delta offers. Mint is a superior product to all the majors in the US.
I bet it's a challenge to clean under the desks for the cleaning crews. They should have an easy to remove panel for them to access that easier with a vacuum
This Brent bro! Nice video!
Hey Quintin JetBlue Airways will soon move to Terminal 6 in the upcoming future so Terminal 5 Concourse will be no more for The US Carrier also there flying to Paris,France in June 29th Awesome Video Man!!!!
4:02 "any unattended bags will be subject to confiscation....... idiots"
BRUH that made me laugh so much
1:39 did you really fly every other week? I find that honestly wish I could fly that often, but it's usually super expensive over my school breaks to fly anywhere, even out to Phoenix to see my family I have there, although I usually fly Delta. Speaking of, thank god they recently closed T2 as that was like living hell lmfao
Agree your $600 tix is a bargain versus other b6 fares.
Food looked great
Enjoy the calling out cities along the way..
How is JetBlue, Are they a good airline? I never flown them before
Seattle!!! My hometown lol hmu next time!!
0:35 FDNY Engine 210 Spots On Response Back To Station
Perfect Monday lunchtime break. Nice view from the hotel room. Haven't stayed in a Double Tree in years but they used to put a cookie on your bed. Hard to beat that seat, at that price, on any other airline. JetBlue is probably the best value for the dollar in the skies. Thanks for always taking the time to share your travels, editing, and uploading for us. Stay safe.
JetBlue provides a good product but that $603. fare paid is a rarity. That same flight can go as high as $1,813.00 one way JFK-SEA & I noticed a JFK-LAX flight in Mint service was $2,286.00 one way.
What weather app did you used to see the weather on 10:18?
I was using the standard Weather Channel app. It's free too!
Omg he spoke!
How was Fort Lauderdale I heard you ran into Duck (Aviation FLL) at that airport yesterday
Love the New York Guardians XFL hoodie you got on! Spring football fan I assume?
Correct! I'm also a huge CFL fan! What about you?
I think of only two things straight away that would make Jet Blue even better would be to design Mosaic Lounges at their major hubs (BOS/JFK/ FLL/LAX) and if they’d schedule a little better cleaning of the aircraft 😉👍🏻. Still far and away better than UA, AA, DL. 🤨
3:38 Boarding announcement in the background
From start to finish dude, your videos are truly great, nice shots of Manhattan etc, drive to JFK and inside JFK. JetBlue have a really great product in MINT, can see why so many people rave about it and JetBlue in particular. Quite how they can offer such a product well below their rivals is astonishing, but hope it continues, here looking forward to the next one.
Do these seats flatten to be able to lie flat, to sleep?
Thats what it looked like when i was there
✈👍
My dad has been a Jetblue pilot since 2006
Another amazing report! Yet to fly an A321, but hope to one day.
Great review. Love the Mint Suite. Good meal nicely presented. Jet Blue should have a lounge for Mint Business class passengers.
Thanks Quintin😀💚
But did you get her number though? Jk! GREAT VID AGAIN!!
9:21 DING
Does jetblue’s fleet consist of only airbus?
Yes besides a few dozen Embraer 190's that are slowly being phased out. A220's, A320's, and A321's!
Why did you fly out of JFk every other week as kid?
I took the nonstop flight to Sacramento to visit family all the time! Back then it was flight 171
I should have tried their mint product when I was living in Boston :/
“birds are cute and all but”😂…the birds are harmless, let them in there.
They just walk in through the doors. I used to see them frequently at Newark, usually pigeons.
@@jamesclendon4811okay… at my local train station, there are pigeons and so long they don’t shit on you, it’s okay.😁
Very nice video and review. The Mint product seems very solid but the cleanliness is a definite turn-off. The have to vacuum under the seats and scrub the loos more often. Hygiene is important, particularly these days. All in all, JetBlue is a fine airline.
wow ! he talks !
16:27 to 16:40 - Not more but a lot of airlines need to do the same thing.
Looks like a nice airline. At $8.00/ share, perhaps a good long term investment, too?
Are you a HC Metallurg fan or what?😀
I love the KHL and Sergei Mozyakin is one of my favorite players! Metallurg is probably my second favorite team after Sibir lol
@@QFSAviation oh that's cool! Shout-out from Omsk!
Btw we're leading the series against Sibir in Gagarin's Cup play offs rn 😂 🦅
@@sga9365 Omsk is stacked this year! I’m hoping to stream tomorrow’s game. Best of luck the rest of playoffs!
@@QFSAviation Thanks, mate!🔥
4:03
I think that the only thing missing from the Mint experience is a lounge access. I heard JetBlue is working on that, so let’s wait and see.
I created a whole trip report playlist out of QFS's and other trip report youtubers videos!
Cool I gotta check that out!
4:00😂
Make sure you have TSA Precheck before traveling which security can take less than 5 minutes as a result
Yeah the time saved is amazing, it gives me a lot of time to bang your mom.
great quality of this BC on its short flight, much better than the fake BC on European flights with KLM, AF, LH etc where only the middle EC seat is blocked...
Hi Quintin! I don't know if you will ever see this, but I just wanted to thank you for putting so much time and effort into your aviation videos. They are a true blessing to me, as I am a very nervous flier - even though I am fascinated with all things aviation! When I watch your videos, I am comforted to know that there are people like you who fly for pleasure and actually AREN'T nervous! Your videos are so well done and I truly appreciate you sharing them. Just thought you should know how much of a positive influence you have been to me - and I'm sure many others. I am almost looking forward to my flights to Honduras in April - ALMOST! LOL!
Also - I'm sure you have been asked a million times, but I was wondering how you are able to travel so much. Do you have enough travel miles saved up to be able to fly for free? What about school? Just curious!
His dad is a billionaire. Hope that answers the frequent travel question
@@kingonthemoon7044 Wow! Really? I guess that would answer the question!
At 17:41 Omaha hockey took 3 out of 4 games against Minnesota Duluth this season!!! Maybe you should fly to Omaha to see an Omaha Mavericks Hockey game!!!
As a teenager, Rahm Emanuel sliced off much of his right middle finger when washing an Arby's meat slicer. This has inhibited what would otherwise be his prime means of communicating.
if this was in january 2023 then HOW IS THERE AN ALITALIA PLANE FLYING????
You should fly to London on JetBlue Airbus A321neo MINT Class row 1!!!
Another great trip report guy!! When's Bahamasair coming up? 😁
Not sure yet, but I live in Florida now so I have to eventually!
Ow ya seattle my hometown
Are you a Seahawks fan?
Ya
I always get nostalgia flying out of Omaha sometimes
JetBlue's long haul workhorse! One day I'll be on one. My mom actually beat me to it! 🤣
You gotta get on one! You’ll love them!
@@QFSAviation I wish JetBlue flew into Omaha but have to drive to Kansas City then fly to JFK or Boston to be on a long haul flight
