Mint-aholics, rejoice. JetBlue announced that it's flying its beloved Mint product between New York (JFK) and Palm Springs (PSP) for a limited-time only this winter.

Between December 21, 2017, and January 3, 2018, you can purchase a seat in the carrier's lie-flat Mint cabin on the transcon route.

We're seeing availability on some of the flights, with one-way fares from JFK to PSP for as little as $558 on Saturday, December 30. If you want to pay with TrueBlue points, the same one-way flight will cost you 42,200 points + $5.60.

With Mint, you're not just getting a seat with extra legroom. You can expect what is arguably the industry's best domestic lie-flat experience in an exclusive 16-seat cabin. You'll also get expedited security, early boarding, large entertainment screens, Saxon + Parole meal options, Milk Bar treats, ice cream and more.

The flights will operate on the following schedule:

  • B6 149 New York (JFK) 6:30pm Departure ⇒ Palm Springs (PSP) 9:46pm Arrival
  • B6 150 Palm Springs (PSP) 10:58pm Departure ⇒ New York (JFK) 6:59am (+1) Arrival
