 Thunder E here and Happy New Year. This is the first video of 2022 and also this is actually older content. I apologize. I was trying to make this video a while back but it really got busy and also this is something different on the channel. Now this is all about my trip to London using JetBlue's Mint which is their business class offering. I went with the strip with BoredFam. I actually did some content around the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and she did some content on the Galaxy Z Flip 3 so you can definitely go check those videos out. But we arrived at the airport and they had a separate check-in area for Mint which was cool but because JetBlue doesn't have a lounge area yet we decided to head over to the TWA Hotel which is kind of across the street. It's not in the airport. It's basically away from your gate but we wanted to just check out that experience. Really cool seeing the old planes, checking in the restaurant there, having some food before our flight and then we decided to go ahead and head into the gate. Now I'll honestly say the TWA Hotel is a great place to check out. Just got that retro vibe and just kind of brings back the old view of aviation if you want. Now since I don't usually make content like this I want to give a big shout out to the guys that I definitely watch on YouTube and you should definitely check them out. Guys like Jeb Brooks, Sam Chu, as well as also Vicarious Voyager. They make some great aviation content and I think they do a much better job than I do. I just wanted to kind of share my experience here and kind of put something different on the channel. As I mentioned, we headed over to the gate and since again Jeb Blue doesn't have any lounge or any special access for this, I was at the gate shooting my Z4 III content. This is where I kind of showed some stuff here. Our plane was parked. It was an A321neo which is a not a wide body plane but it's good enough to cover that distance. The thing at the gate is we had like a standard checking process. Yes, if you're meant you got it to check in early. It's a little bit disorganized just because I think most people just kind of do that once they hear this board and everyone kind of rushes in but I got to check in and once I walked in I was greeted to this awesome row of Mint's class seats. Now they are 16 Mint's class seats from the flight from JFK to London and these are really great seats. The very first two are the studio seats. Now I'll talk about the studio seats later in this video but it is a very welcoming experience. You've got that blue lighting, very comfortable in general. The seating arrangement is one to one so there's basically one seat per aisle, board frame was sitting on 10A and that was sitting in 10F. Before we actually even jump to the seat tour you are greeted once you get to your seat with a drink of your choice, some warm nuts and just things to nibble on which is great. Honestly, the service on this flight was impeccable. I will talk more about the crew and the service but they did a fantastic job throughout the whole flight. So when you arrive at your seat you're greeted with this big pouch and an amenity kit. Now that big pouch is basically your blanket and your pillows for the flight. There is no bedding because the seats are made to be really comfortable and honestly say they are quite comfortable. Now the bedding is made, the blanket is made by Tuff and Needle and then next to your seat on the left hand side you have controls for your seat so you can lay flat, you can put in different positions, whatever you want to do is right next to you on your left and then on the right armrest right below that you do have a power plug and also the ports for your headphones as well as a USB Type-C port which does 10W charging. So again you do have multiple plugs here, I do like the USB Type-C port, that's a big plus. And then we move to the window, next to the window there is a wireless charging pad. Now I didn't expect this on the flight but it was really cool to see the fact that I could just drop my phone. I was kind of worried while in flight while there's turbulence that it might actually slide off but it actually stayed pretty well there so I was able to charge all my different devices including my Z Fold 3. Now there's also a little cubby hole where you can put some stuff there, just don't forget it when you're there on the flight. So right above the left armrest there is a push button below the side table if you will that opens up your tray so you can access the tray right there. I like the fact that it tucks into the side so it's a very clean process, it doesn't necessarily interfere with what you're doing and it's a pretty sizable tray, you can put your laptop on there, I used it to do some work. And then below that, below the tray area you do have access to your IFU remote to use that if you want to but again the IFU system is touchscreen which we'll get to in a second. Now on the left hand side you do have this table space area if you will that you can put stuff on there and you also have some of your many of the kits as well. Next to that is another power plug that has a USB port, headphone jack as well as also you know just plugs where you actually use so there are two plugs on your seat for this flight. And then towards the end of that table area you do have a lamp which you can turn on or off. Now in terms of order storage options within the seating area there is a slide-out drawer right below the IFU where you can put in documents, passport things like that and then towards the bottom right you do have like a cubby holder that has some slippers which were provided for us in this flight which is great and below your footrest there's also some more storage space where you can put your shoes, jackets, whatever. In terms of storage options there's a ton around the seats there is even a hook to hang your headphones which is right next to the window which is great. Now they did provide headphones on this flight from Master and Dynamic which are really great headphones so I'm really impressed to see that in terms of noise cancellation they still don't beat up the Sony XM4s which I use for most of my flights but again a really good offering especially for a long whole flight like this. I honestly can't remember everything specifically in the amenity kit but here it is for you guys to check out. I think all in all you find that there's a lot of seating space within this flight so it is a great package overall. Now let's take a look at the IFA system it is a 17 inch display now you can actually connect your device to the system so you can use the remote control and JetBlue does offer free Wi-Fi on this flight all their flights in general and you've got some really fast speed so that part to me is great again a nice blend of technology for someone like me makes a whole lot of sense with this now they do have some some some decent options I would say it's a vast options of of content but it's enough for you to go around to watch there's also live TV as well but I ended up using the internet to just do some work on there and yes for all the flight enthusiasts they do have a full 3d map which is actually pretty cool to see and I now understand why people like those 3d maps it's a great experience especially sure in the whole flight so not long after we took off we had dinner service this was a late flight leave in JFK and the way dinner is served is you have a menu you can select three out of five items from you also have a cocktail menu as well as also a wine list nothing too extensive but there were absolutely solid options now I can remember specifically what I picked on the menu but I have to tell you that everything I tried on this menu tasted fantastic this is probably one of the best meals I've had in the air and this was impressive for a carrier like JetBlue especially for their first business class product going transatlantic this was really solid I finished everything it was superb I can't state enough how great the meal was so after that scrumptious meal I decided to put on my slippers and went to go check out the bathroom for mint now there's nothing too special a bathroom it's very standard it's a clean bathroom well laid out but nothing in terms of just high amenities so I made my way back to my seat and found that board firm I already had passed out she was gone completely now the cool thing about the seats is that you do have your own privacy so right next to the lamp you can go ahead and press that button and that closes the door so you've got your own privacy area which is nice and no one can see into it unless you're walking past you know and you lean into it so that's actually pretty cool now the bedding was really comfortable this is done by Tough and Needle the bedding is actually the seat itself laid flat I had a lot of space I was able to sleep for about two to three hours on this flight it was a six hour 45 minute flight in total so that was a good amount of time for me on the flight watch some movies of my Z4 3 and then when I woke up I was greeted with breakfast which was an egg tart and a yogurt with some nuts and it tasted great again really good service overall I really enjoyed the service on this flight maybe the next time I will go ahead and try the studio option which is much bigger now the studio as I mentioned earlier is the first first roll on the flight is basically 1am 1f and you do have a larger display at 22 inches you have extra seating if you have a guest someone to sit there with you just more space and room in that on that seating but on this flight though I just had the standard mint and I have to say though I have to give big shout out to the crew who took care of us on this flight Alex Rowland and Cesar they did an amazing job they were absolutely professional they were very attentive honestly one of the best crews that I had actually dealt with I eventually took mint on my way back from London and it was also a great experience again I was able to talk to the staff and you know just the ask me about what I thought about the product now you guys are wondering okay how much did it cost me to take this flight so I bought the flight originally as a mint flight for just one way and it actually cost me $850 so for business class flight $850 from JFK to to London it's quite impressive because the competitors whether it was British Airways or even United I was looking at roughly $1,600 to $2,000 for just that one way flight now I did when I did a round trip I also paid paid around $850 I think it was like $870 back so it cost me $1,600 for this flight just out of pocket and it was a great experience all the way through so there you have it guys that is my look at you know jet blues mint from JFK to London if you like videos like this let me know try make more of these for you I'm gonna be doing more flying this year so try different services and also see some of the cool tech they have I definitely enjoyed seeing the wireless charger on the flight which is pretty cool I also like the fact that the supplied really good headphones from master dynamic and I also like the fact that you know they've got the fat one of the fastest internet speeds and it's free on the flights as well as the IFA system allows you to control it from your smartphone which is also a great thing so thank you very much guys and always enjoy entertainment
