JetBlue's Mint class is arguably one of the best ways to fly — especially on a domestic carrier. Sure, it doesn't compare to the likes of Singapore Suites and Etihad's The Residence, but for a domestic carrier, there isn't much of a better way to get around. In fact, it's one of TPG's favorite products and he's proudly becoming a JetBlue fanboy.

Now, JetBlue is expanding its Mint product to continue servicing the Caribbean. The carrier had previously flown its Mint product to the Caribbean with seasonal Saturday service and daily service from December 19 through January 4 between New York, Aruba and Barbados, in addition to seasonal Saturday service between Boston and Barbados, which began on March 26. With Mint's service to the Caribbean, JetBlue became the only US carrier to offer regularly scheduled lie-flat service to the Caribbean.

A complete list of JetBlue's Mint routes.

The new routes will serve the Caribbean islands of St. Lucia and St. Maarten. Here's a complete list of what's coming later this year:
