<P> JetBlue first announced its intention to introduce premium seats on some of its transcontinental flights in March 2013 . The company officially announced its Mint premium class product on September 30 , 2013 ; the aforementioned service was to be available on flights between New York and San Francisco and New York and Los Angeles , with fares for Mint - class seats starting at US $ 599 each way . Dave Barger , JetBlue CEO at the time , said that the move was necessary for the airline to better compete with its competitors , which were operating lie - flat seats in transcontinental markets , leaving JetBlue with an all - economy class cabin . The routes were to be operated with new Airbus A321 aircraft , and feature Wi - Fi connectivity . JetBlue 's all seven daily round - trip flights between New York and Los Angeles were to feature the service by the fourth quarter of 2014 , and all five daily round - trip flights between New York and San Francisco by early 2015 . The first Mint flight , from New York -- JFK to Los Angeles , was to begin on June 15 , 2014 . </P>
