JetBlue Mint is expanding its routes to include Seattle to NYC, Seattle to Boston and Boston to Las Vegas, which is great news for passengers wanting non-stop premium service between those cities. I'm especially happy about the NYC to Seattle non-stop route, given that we have relatives in Seattle and aren't keen on the subpar Alaska business class seats.
JetBlue Mint already flies to the Caribbean, including Aruba, St. Maarten, Barbados, St. Lucia, as I posted in JetBlue Mint Expands to Las Vegas, Caribbean.
Even though I don't care for JetBlue's TrueBlue frequent flyer program, which is revenue-based and hard to get outsize value from, I do like JetBlue Mint service itself, and booked far in advance, it can be quite reasonable, as low as $549 each way. Note, however, that for certain route dates and times, or when booked last minute, prices can be well over $1000 each way, so it does pay to book ahead and be flexible.
