JetBlue A320 Interior Cabin Restyling

Press Release - JetBlue Brings Humanity Back to Air Travel All Over Again With Highly Anticipated A320 Interior Cabin Restyling

Image highlights


Highlights:
  • In-seat standard power outlets + USB ports
  • Gate-to-gate Fly-Fi (widely available already)
  • Expanded Fly-Fi connectivity, providing coverage to nearly the entire JetBlue network.
  • 18+ inches of seat width
  • Adjustable headrests
  • Redesigned seatback stowage options, including an innovative elastic grid to accommodate a variety of customer items
  • 10.1 inch, 1080P high definition screen at every seat.
  • 100+ channels of live TV
  • Expanded collection of on demand movies, TV shows and video content, plus new gaming features.
  • Picture-in-picture function.
  • Enhanced, 3D flight map offering multiple ways to track time to destination.
  • New LED lighting, sidewalls and overhead bins
  • NFC paining turning personal handheld devices into remotes or gaming controllers.
JetBlue expects to complete approximately a dozen A320 restyles by the end of 2018, with the ability to complete multiple aircraft each month by 2019. JetBlue’s so-called A320 classics will be restyled first. JetBlue’s overall A320 restyling is set to take approximately three years.

Does the expanded Fly-Fi connectivity mean Fly-Fi will be available on routes that go beyond the US?

As to the FlyFi question, I think they mean full gate-to-gate connectivity and less interruption domestically. I do NOT think we'll see them with international connectivity.

Isn't this the update that will introduce the much-reviled crew area revamp as well?

Yes, I believe so:

Not a deal breaker for me but I'm not sure I'll be flying without an EMS seat anytime soon

Not a deal breaker for me at all. Still better than most Y domestic seats by a country mile.

The new cabins are so much nicer. Can’t wait for the new product to be installed. We have mostly A321s at SFO anyway, but it would be nice to get the new cabins for connections beyond FLL/BOS/JFK.

"most legroom in coach"
"an additional inch of legroom over our previous generation"

Is that a deliberate avoidance of the word "Pitch" because of use of slimline seats? I'm just thinking about how AA is claiming that even though their 737-MAX has 29" or 30" pitch "it feels more spacious". I haven't experienced it.

Yes. Starting in 2019 with the new hardware the planes will be able to "talk" to the ViaSat-2 satellite which delivers coverage into Mexico and the Caribbean.

There is already full gate-to-gate connectivity domestically.

If you mean the Space-Flex v2 lav/galley combo then yes. It is already on the A321s and will now fly on the A320s as well.

I stand corrected, sorry. I didn't realize the G2G rollout was fleet-wide.

Yeah, but JetBlue doesn't have any of those right now.
