It does not depend on the route. These are the current service standards.

I don't have a route They are just the current standards for Mint service. If you experience something else it is a FA doing something that is not the proper procedure. Mint service is [supposed to be] consistent across all routes. Of course JB is known for being consistently inconsistent. That said, the expectations should at least be the same.

Oh that! You quoted something else. Lol. I actually saw it on my friend's Instagram. I think he was flying LAX to the east coast. He had the Fresh Fruit, Smoked Salmon Tacos, and the Smoked Gouda Omelette. Those are the same items I would have ordered

That was a stellar trip report! Thanks for posting. I'm excited to try my first MINT experience this coming Thursday, JFK-SEA.

It's available on the JetBlue website. There is a page dedicated to quarterly Mint menus.

I noticed that the page does not show any of the special menus anymore. I wonder if Kosher et al. meals are still available.

I got a email saying they're not serving any special meals even though it's packed and closed just using covid as a excuse . Are they serving soda the agent claims only water and alcohol as somehow soda is more dangerous then alcohol for covid somehow?

In core I can see how limiting options makes sense. But in Mint where meals are already individually plated and they are serving alcohol, coffee, and tea, why not soft drinks? This just comes off as being cheap.
