LAX-BOS on jetBlue Mint
I'm off today for a company function in Montréal. And without Mrs. SFO777 this time, I'm not constrained by having to fly nonstop... especially at inflated rip-off prices on a crap plane and crap airline, aka Air Canada. jetBlue recently started LAX-BOS Mint service and current fares are much more attractive than LAX-JFK. Add in a cheap BOS-YUL connecting flight and it was a very economical and much more comfortable way to get to Montréal.
jetBlue Mint is one of my favorite transcon premium products. My biggest complaint is the lack of a lounge of any kind, although it was a non-issue today as I got to the gate about 10 minutes before boarding.
jetBlue Mint is jetBlue's attractive modern premium cabin. Five rows with 16 total seats are staggered with rows 1, 3 and 5 having 2-2 seating. Rows 2 and 4 are the primo rows with single throne like seats and a closed door.
My seat today is 4A, a single seat closed door suite.
Welcome note from our Mint FAs today, Chase and Alberto, who provided outstanding service.
