JFK-LAS Breakfast, February 2026, 32S

I flew JFK-LAS last week with the same menu. I thought the food was good but it didn't blow me away like in the past, though the salmon was fresh and tasty. I didn't love how thin the bagel chips were as they kept breaking up with the cream cheese.

PDB, even though I boarded less than 10 minutes before departure!

Smoked salmon and spinach frittata. They were miscatered so I had an unknown Chardonnay instead of the Sauvignon Blanc. The Chardonnay was not impressive.

Unbranded cold cookie as the parting pleasantry. AS spoiled me with their baked-omboard cookies.

I also do not like the current "hot sauce" at all. It simply isn't hot sauce :td:

I agree the salmon was the highlight and super fresh - and yes, the paper thin bagel chips collapse with any sort of tension. Makes it a messy delight!

(B6's PDB game is stellar - maybe because they can step into the suites and navigate up and down the aisle whilst economy boards? Disinterested AA crews on 16/20F aircraft rarely bother, in my most recent experiences).

Assuming they serve it. They did not on my recent Mint flight, and we were not delayed.

And there's inconsistency of anything you want other than cocktails, to pre-poured bubbly and water.

PDBs are supposed to be served on all Mint flights with no exceptions other than delayed catering. While they can bring around a tray of pre-poured beverages, the standard is that a full bar is offered so you should be able to ask for other beverages on request in this instance. If they didn't do PDBs I would encourage you to write in as that is a selling point of the Mint Experience.

I did write it in, and here's the excerpt of their response:

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I guess it wasn't mint to be.

I flew Mint last week from JFK to SFO on a morning flight. No inflight amenity kit at any seat. I asked for one and the FA told me they only provide them on red eye flights now? He came back a few minutes later and said he found one from the previous flight.
Also no Parting Pleasantry offered. but they did come by with the snack basket from the back. Is this true about the amenity Kits I thought they were by request now?

I thought they were upon request domestically, though on my last several Mint flights they have been at every seat. That is absolutely not true that they're only available on shuteye flights, and you should write in about that (with emphasis on that you were given false information, not the lack of kits since JB clearly does not care about consistency per other posts upthread). You can also note the lack of the Parting Pleasantry and how it was on the menu but never actually served. I got it on both of my flights last weekend (daytime westbound and shuteye eastbound). It's really surprising to me at least since you can literally get the Hu Hunks at CVS or other convenience stores, so it's not that they couldn't get ahold of them since they are literally available everywhere.

-J.

I will write in- that is my thought FA did not want to put the kits out nor provide parting pleasantry.
Disappointing.

Re-read my post. If you write in what you said, the way you said it, you will get nothing (or if anything, not much). They will say the items are not guaranteed and tell you to kick rocks.

Just flew Mint on a breakfast flight

We had headphones, amenity kit, water, and bedding at each seat. Only PDB was OJ but could order what we want in flight. Lead FA did a really good non-alcoholic Mint Condition.

The highlight was the smoked salmon even if the lone crisp shattered when you took a bite. The eggs needed flavor and Bread Pudding was meh.

Multiple passes of snack basket and Chocolate covered cashews offered about 30 minutes prior to landing.

Full-bar PDBs - though only after we finished boarding and had rolling delays for an additional 90 minutes. You might call them "pre-deicing beverages" :rolleyes:

Orange wine and Tantos! puffed pasta garbage

Escarole salad (hold the croutons), roast chicken, gelato with toppings on the side, warm bread and butter

Celery root soup and a glass of seltzer. I asked for the soup on its own specifically without the tray.

Return flight on XLR. The seat is so much nicer than the older Mint seat although I think everyone who had not been on that type of plane before missed the shoulder harness until FA made announcement.

Eastbound Continental US Lunch/Dinner

PDB - "Champagne" or Seltzer only

Starter - So much for rotating selection

Bread - Not cold, but not warmed so it was still soft inside

Salad - Completely adequate. Dislike the fact that they kept the butt end on the greens.

Pasta - Definitely had a kick that I enjoyed

Shrimp - Overcooked, but tasted good when you mixed the optional "hot sauce" with the aioli

Ice Cream - They really waited to serve so it had started to melt (which wasn't the worst thing in the world) and fruit topping was not as cloyingly sweet as other options

No parting item though I didn't really need it. I think one of the FA's working Mint was being trained as she often didn't know where things were and everything was one seat at a time which made things take forever to get through the higher number of mint seats on the XLR and the trainer really wasn't helping to expedite the service (as if she was just sitting in the galley giving instruction or just handling the heating/plating and leaving the other FA to do all of the rest)

Just to clarify, it was likely a LR (A321NX/LR) - JetBlue does not operate the XLR (A321NY). Additionally, JetBlue does not conduct training on live Mint flights. Sounds like you just had a clueless FA :p

-J.

Yep I misread as airfleets.net said 321-271NXLR and I am used to seeing -271N as the code for NEO
