I fly JetBlue exclusively in the US, and we've made one trip to the UK on JetBlue since they started the service. I always book Even More Space, as I'm 6'6" tall and generally a large fellow - that's when I don't upgrade to Mint, which I tend to do whenever it is available. The question about flying a narrow body Gatwick to Boston struck me as funny as Boston is my home airport - and flights to Seattle or LA are nearly as long as the flight to the UK. Domestic flights in the US are pretty universally narrow bodies. Flying to the UK on an A321 is no big deal.
Awesome insight! Really useful having those extra legroom seats at 6’6”, I’d really love to try Mint at some point also. Safe travels and hope to catch you on another vid ✈️
You’re too kind! Thank you so much, looking forward to releasing loads more. Good experience with them - a decent choice across the pond. Would use again and better still, use their Mint (business class) if it’s a good price!
@@Travelsbydreamer Agreed. You raise a good point about the appetite for smaller-bodied aircraft crossing the oceans. The surly crew seems to be the one blemish. Glad they were better on the return.
@@GlobeTrotter-007 yeah, I think for some might be a bit of an off putting factor but not sure most would research to that level before arriving at the gate!
Going to be doing Cleveland Amsterdam via Boston in October. I love JetBlue And their transatlantic service looks great. My first “narrowbody” transatlantic was when I was 4 years old on a Lufthansa 707. More recently, we’ve flown Play airlines (which was awesome) to Paris from Boston via Iceland and most recently, Aer Lingus nonstop from Cleveland to Dublin (also wonderful). Both were fantastic and from someone who prefers wide body service on long flights, his says a lot. I have no issues now with a flight like this though to somewhere like Dubai, maybe not. JetBlue seems to really step things up. Great video.
Thanks so much! It’s a great take on an interesting new way to fly long haul for sure. I’d love to try their Mint offering, perhaps something for the future!
Really good flight report, thanks for uploading it. I'd have no qualms crossing the Atlantic on a narrow body aircraft, especially with JetBlue who offer a fantastic economy product for the price you paid. I'm really looking forward to the start of their EDI-JFK route. Finally, congratulations on the two year anniversary of your channel. I always find your videos are spot on- they tell us what we need to know but in a succinct way and are always a fair reflection of your journey. Thanks and look forward to the next anniversary of your channel ✈️
Thank you so much on all fronts! An option from EDI will be absolutely ideal for the Scottish market. That’s their huge advantage I guess in being able to do point to point succinctly in a small format…the future of aviation many might argue with the smaller longer range jets… Here’s to lots more vids, looking forward to hearing from you in another soon! 😃
Before 1970, every Transatlantic flight was on a single aisle narrow body aircraft, it’s not a big deal. I deliberately choose to fly on the magnificent Boeing 757 on Transatlantic routes while it’s still available.
That’s a very good point. Most of the worlds population weren’t flying then so quite the change up half a century on for many however. The 757 is a pretty awesome aircraft, would be keen to get back onboard soon!
Chose JetBlue since they don’t fly Boeing. Ground staff in Buffalo were first rate, flight crew awesome and just a great experience all round. Next flight already booked with them.
Looked a pretty good flight and how nice not to fly on a old aircraft, I'm still not sure I could do long haul on a small aircraft, but at the right price it's perhaps worth considering. Have seen review's on the mint suites and they look very good. It's a shame when a good experience is marred by some poor cabin crew but it seems that economy service on American carriers is below the standards set by VA and British Airways. The main meal though looked very good and now nice was it to be able to make the selection on the IFE screen and Free WiFi that was definitely a bonus Great review as usual.
Thanks so much! Yeah the narrow bodies aircraft thing will be a bit of an issue for some. Didn’t mention it on the review but on the overnight return, I actually couldn’t get a moments sleep as although the seats offered unrivalled legroom, the padding seemed very slim, especially on the back! Would be keen to try Mint. They were offering it in Boston on the return at the gate but the $699 just didn’t feel worth it that time!
Yeah, indeed they were to take away and encouraged from memory as they can’t reuse them so if people take them they might be reused on another flight which helps the airlines 😊
@@Travelsbydreamer Yeah because if I go from LHR to JFK, then from JFK to LAX on the domestic flights you don't get earbuds you can use them on that flighht
Gatwick is suitable than Heathrow, not worth flying from Heathrow as an low cost American Airlines delta and untied is worth it form lhr than JetBlue, JetBlue is low cost can fly to Gatwick, Luton might have them Manchester or other parts of the country, never fly JetBlue from or to Heathrow, from or to gatwick is more solution like me when I visit America for the first time I will use JetBlue from Gatwick only.
Yeah, I think Gatwick will work for some, it’s connections to London are really good however, for much of the country based west of London or north it’s a bit of a pain compared to LHR. As for JetBlue being a budget carrier, I never felt that at all. The fantastic onboard food offering twinned with aspects such as free WiFi were well ahead of much of the legacy competition on the route :)
@@Travelsbydreamer American Airlines for Heathrow always 100% flown, would you visit Paksitan by flying Paksitan airlines from Dubai or elsewhere for connect flight if you flying from London using emirates?

Random but the brownie is from a company based in northern ireland in a small town . Amazing to see such a big company buying from Northern Ireland
That’s epic knowledge! I’d travel to Northern Ireland just for them ha
As you say, great to see smaller companies getting a chance 😃

Great vlog very useful Jet blue seem like a good option. Would choose this over a 25yr old BA 777 or similar aged 767 Delta...
Thank you! Yeah I’d for sure say so, with their new aircraft, it’s a refreshing take on transatlantic economy travel vs some of the legacy carriers 😃
The best review I’ve seen so far, very informative and helpful. Thank you 🙏🏻 I’ll give JetBlue a try 👍
Thanks so much, so glad it was useful 😃
Great Video, flying out in Aug from heathrow to JFK with family with Jet Blue. Finally got my US Visa!
Thanks so much, hope it was useful! Have a fab trip!

I’d for sure use them again, have you ever tried their MINT product? I’d love to give that a go!
On this flight tomorrow!
Enjoy! It’s a nice way to go :)

Do you know if you can take the earbuds you get with you after the flight?

@@Travelsbydreamer Yeah because if I go from LHR to JFK, then from JFK to LAX on the domestic flights you don't get earbuds you can use them on that flighht
@@Arthur.dw07 good thinking!
I did not see the options for alcoholic drinks in the review...?
Were alcoholic drinks available?
And if yes, did they charge extra for those?
Yep, on screen as part of the drinks selection. Wine was included for sure, would expect a couple of other things too…
Very nice cabin. Food don’t look very good…
Cabin was good, food even better however 😃
I didn't think Jetblue did London - Boston.
By the sounds of things they’re opening up a few new routes just now!
