JetBlue’s new BlueFirst cabin begins revenue service on Dec. 8, 2026 with a Boston‑Fort Lauderdale flight and will expand to additional routes in the weeks that follow.
Launch flight and early expansion
The inaugural BlueFirst revenue flight will operate on Dec. 8, 2026 between Boston and Fort Lauderdale, according to JetBlue’s announcements. Within days, the cabin will be added to select Fort Lauderdale‑New York LaGuardia flights, with more routes to follow in the weeks and months ahead.
Fare options
Introductory fares start at $249 one‑way on some routes, while promotional fares of $299 are offered on the Boston‑Fort Lauderdale segment and on a New York‑JFK to Liberia, Costa Rica route. The $249 fare is also listed for LaGuardia‑Fort Lauderdale travel.
Cabin features
BlueFirst seats are arranged in a two‑by‑two configuration, providing five inches of recline and up to seven inches more legroom than JetBlue’s Main seats. Each seat includes a 13.3‑inch Bluetooth‑connected seatback screen. Meals are served in bento‑box style with sommelier‑selected wines, and passengers receive Group 1 boarding and expedited security.
Aircraft and market rollout
The cabin will be installed on aircraft that do not feature Mint, with 12 seats in three rows on Airbus A220‑300 and A320, and 16 seats in four rows on A321. JetBlue lists more than 30 routes with BlueFirst available now, while another source notes that 40 markets are on sale through April 2027.
What's still unclear
Sources differ on the number of routes or markets offering BlueFirst, citing “more than 30 routes” and “40 markets on sale now.”
