In addition, over the past three years I’ve noticed that all of the airlines basically price match on these routes when looking far enough out. What also has changed is that AA has launched some pretty good lounges at JFK and LAX.
I like mint a lot, but on A321T route, AA really does offer pretty good value now. I am always able to find good pricing on those and the access to flagship lounge + bridge make them a really good deal. I end up flying A321T pretty much everytime now. Unfortunately, they don't offer it anywhere else!

It is a very special trip hence why I want to push the boat out to FC/Business, even though it's only domestic...I was looking at JetBlue, but am a little put off by their in-flight entertainment being so limited in terms of there only being six movies to choose from (if I understood their IFE packages correctly?).
Apologies if I am going off topic here, but for internal domestic flights, which airline IYO offers the best First/Business class? From what I have read, JetBlue seems to be the best - would you concur?
I think you are going to like their IFE a lot. A lot of satellite TV channels, free fast internet + some movies. I end up watching amazon prime on there on long trips. Totally better than the fix catalog that other carriers use.
