JetBlue Devalues Their Beverage Service
Meg Butler May 18, 2019
“Is Pepsi OK?” is something you never want to hear, especially on a flight where you can’t just hop out of the exit door and choose another restaurant. But, from now on, you’ll hear it from your flight attendant if you fly JetBlue.
In June 2019, will switch the free beverages in their “core” economy class from Coke to Pepsi (and from Sprite to Sierra Mist). But the swap from Coke to Pepsi isn’t all that’s changing. Jet Blue’s Fuze Iced Tea products are being phased out and individual water bottles will be replaced with poured offerings from 1.5L bottles.
The coffee and tea they serve will remain Dunkin Donuts and the bloody mary mix will still be Mr. & Mrs. T’s.
If you have good taste in soda are a Coca-Cola lover, you can only hope that the move to Pepsi isn’t catching like Basic Economy. If you love Pepsi and JetBlue, this may be good news?

The unsweetened iced tea is a major loss, in my opinion. Carbonated beverages are not good to have while flying and I agree completely with the points about sugar made by BC Shelby! I would bring my own unsweetened iced tea, but as you know, that can't be done anymore.

Great news!
I use Pepsi to unclog my drains and clean the toilet.
Coke vs Pepsi? It is high-fructose corn syrup in carbonated water anyway. Can't say it affects my perception of JetBlue one way or the other.
