I'll be experiencing the airline's "Core" economy product on tonight's flight, and while I'd normally prefer to confirm a lie-flat seat for a short transatlantic redeye, I'm actually excited about JetBlue's new London-bound coach, given the fantastic meals we're expecting onboard.
Business-class flyers, meanwhile, will travel in JetBlue's latest Mint suite — or, if they're extra lucky, one of the two Mint Studios. The experience should be comparable to what JetBlue's offering on its domestic Mint-equipped Airbus A321neo, but with a significantly larger business cabin.

JetBlue Flight 7 is scheduled to depart JFK at 9:48 p.m. ET tonight, arriving at London Heathrow (LHR) at 10:10 a.m. local time Thursday morning. The flight operates daily for the rest of this month, before moving to four days a week in September. It's expected to return to daily in October, depending on demand.
Round-trip economy fares currently start at just under $600, while Mint business class is priced just under $2,000 round-trip on most dates. Other carriers have matched JetBlue's transatlantic pricing for now, but it remains to be seen whether or not that'll last.
