JetBlue Sweeps Editor’s Choice Awards for
Domestic Travel at Second Annual NYC Event
JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU) today announced it has again been
recognized by The Points Guy with awards for Best Domestic Economy
Class (Airbus A321 Core) and Best Domestic Business Class (Mint).
For a second year, JetBlue was the only airline – domestically and
globally – to win awards for both economy and business. The wins
underscore JetBlue’s long-standing commitment to offering the very
best customer experience in the sky no matter which product a
customer chooses.
“Whether it be our carefully crafted Mint experience or our
world-renowned Core offering, these awards reflect our dedication
to maintain and advance a best-in-class experience no matter who
you are or where you are seated onboard,” said Joanna Geraghty,
JetBlue’s president and chief operating officer. “We’d like to
thank The Points Guy for recognizing JetBlue once again as the
industry leader.”
The Points Guy (TPG) is a trusted travel and lifestyle media
platform that focuses on maximizing travel experiences while
minimizing spending. Through an informative, clever point of view,
TPG has become the leading online resource for all things points,
miles and resourceful travel experiences. This week, The Points Guy
Brian Kelly hosted the second annual TPG Awards at a star-studded
event held on The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New
York.
The recognitions come as JetBlue continues to invest in the
customer experience through the restyling of its Airbus A320
aircraft and the recent introduction of its A321neo aircraft. The
restyled A320s and the new A321neos introduce a new era of comfort
and connectivity to travelers, bringing to the skies the widest
seats available for this aircraft and the most legroom in coach of
any U.S. airline (a). The refreshed experience also offers an
unparalleled inflight entertainment (IFE) experience with 100+
channels of DIRECTV® and hundreds of free movies and shows,
expanded coverage of free Fly-Fi® broadband connectivity almost
everywhere JetBlue flies (b), a re-designed self-serve area called
The Pantry® and much more.
“With its class-leading legroom for all
passengers, free Wi-Fi and complimentary brand-name snacks, JetBlue
remains at the top of the class when it comes to the domestic
economy experience,” The Points Guy said in a company
statement.
At the same time, the airline continues to expand premium Mint
flights on cross-country routes and in the Caribbean and Latin
America. JetBlue now operates more than 80 daily Mint flights in 15
JetBlue cities. On most of these routes, JetBlue is the only
airline to offer regularly scheduled flights with a lie flat seat.
It comes with Mint’s tapas style dining, amenity kits by Hayward
and Hopper, dessert from local artisanal ice cream makers and
dedicated hospitality trained crewmembers.
“JetBlue Mint sets the bar for a domestic
business-class experience. Some seats in the cabin are private
‘thrones’ and when you combine that with friendly, professional
service and top-notch food, you’ve got a product that stands above
the rest of the airlines in the market,” The Points Guy said in
a company statement.
Additionally, JetBlue recently announced future orders for the
Airbus A321LR, A321XLR and A220-300 aircraft. Those aircraft will
usher in the next chapter of the JetBlue story with unmatched fuel
savings, a best-in-class customer experience from award-winning
crewmembers and the promise to broaden the customer-focused
airline’s reach within the Americas and into Europe in the years
ahead.
