Mint is JetBlue’s business class product; cabins come with lie-flat seats, curated dining, and other amenities. The offering is mainly available on transatlantic and transcontinental routes operated with the Airbus A321 and A321neo.

“Customers in Fort Lauderdale continue to choose JetBlue for a better coast-to-coast experience, and these additions give them even more of what they value most: more flights, more premium options, and the comfort of Mint on key West Coast routes,” Daniel Shurz, JetBlue’s senior vice president of revenue, network, and enterprise planning, said in a news release.

JetBlue expects to operate around 150 daily flights from Fort Lauderdale this winter.
