JetBlue Unveils BlueFirst and Expands Basic Fare Options Across Cabins

JetBlue will roll out a new domestic first-class cabin called BlueFirst by the end of 2026 and expand its unbundled fare options to four cabins (Main, EvenMore, BlueFirst, Mint), with Base, Standard, and Flex fares. Base fares carry restrictions like no seat selection and change fees, while Mint remains the lie-flat premium product and will not offer a Base option. The move mirrors Delta/United’s approach, giving customers a two-click path to choose both onboard experience and fare type across more cabins.

JetBlue reshapes fares ahead of domestic first-class debut

JetBlue is revamping its fare structure by dropping Core fares in favor of a Main economy tier, an Even More option with extra legroom and priority benefits, and a BlueFirst domestic first class planned for later this year. Mint remains as a lie-flat premium cabin with Standard and Flex options; the Base fare remains the lowest price with carry-on only and travel-credit refunds, Standard includes seat selection and earns more TrueBlue points, and Flex allows refunds to the original payment method. The changes mirror rivals’ moves to monetize premium seating as demand for pricier travel rises, ahead of JetBlue’s upcoming results.

JetBlue trims NYC bases to fuel Fort Lauderdale expansion

JetBlue will close its Newark flight attendant base and tech bases at Newark and LaGuardia this fall to cut costs and shift growth to its Fort Lauderdale hub, with no staff layoffs and options to transfer. Newark–Los Angeles and Newark–Las Vegas seasonal service will end. The carrier is expanding Mint service from Fort Lauderdale to San Diego on Nov. 19 and adding more Mint flights to San Francisco and Los Angeles this winter, including up to eight daily FLL–LA and three daily FLL–SF trips, as it pursues profitability amid NYC airport cost frustrations and uncertain LGA slot opportunities.

Massachusetts opened the nation’s first remote terminal for Logan Airport in Framingham, allowing eligible JetBlue and Delta passengers to check in, clear TSA screening, and ride an hourly bus directly to their Logan terminal, bypassing on-site security. The service runs for flights 5:30 a.m.–4 p.m., costs $9 each way (kids under 18 ride free with a ticketed family member), and offers ~400 parking spots at $7/day. Tickets are available at LoganRemote.com up to 90 days or 90 minutes before departure, with bus times set to arrive at Logan at least 45 minutes before takeoff.
