So, I just read that JetBlue's launching a new route from JFK to Paris CDG starting next summer. They're using the A321LR for this, which is kinda interesting since I thought most airlines would go for bigger planes on such a popular route. I guess the A321LR has the range, but I wonder if it's the best choice for passenger comfort on a long flight. Anyone have thoughts on this? Like, is the A321LR comfy enough for a transatlantic trip? Also, curious how JetBlue's Mint class will stack up against the competition on this route. I know Delta and American already run flights from JFK to CDG with bigger planes, so it's gonna be a tough market. Will JetBlue's pricing strategy make them competitive enough? Anyway, just thought this was a cool move by JetBlue and wanted to see what you guys think about it!
What's the deal with JetBlue's new Paris route?
I'm actually pretty curious about this too. The A321LR does have the range, but I wonder if it'll feel cramped compared to a wide-body. JetBlue's Mint class is supposed to be really good, so maybe that'll help them stand out. They usually have competitive pricing, so that could be their edge. But yeah, going up against Delta and American on this route isn't gonna be easy. Anyone know how JetBlue's service on long-haul compares to the big guys?
