I think you’re right about that. I don’t think PBI-LAX work. Last time AA who tried PBI-LAX in the past and it did not work. Due to low demand. It won’t be last longer.

I could see PBI going seasonal. Otherwise though, I don't think they have a lot of Mint A321s around, in fact I believe they're somewhat short on them.

They are going to be short on mint aircraft pretty soon imo. As transcon demand comes back, stuff like EWR-LAX/SFO will see their frequencies increase. Ideally, EWR-SAN should also be on mint. They are probably taking 3 A321NEOs in mint config next year. That's just not enough to cover all the EWR flying they are adding. Long term, I think BOS-SEA/LAS probably shouldn't be mint routes.

At the moment B6 is short of Mint equipped aircraft and only using them on key routes with actual competition.
The BOS-SJU route is only operated by JetBlue and Spirit so there is no premium product offered at all so it wouldn't make sense to put Mint equipped aircraft on this route.
If there was premium demand, at least one of the US3 would have operated this route.

I don't think SJU will ever see Mint. The flights aren't really long enough and the premium demand just isn't there.

I actually got this from someone else yesterday, but it got posted on paxex today.

New cities they mentioned here include SAT, MCI, STL, MKE, COL, PTY and YVR. I tend to think this is the list under consideration for after this year. So, I'm still expecting IND, CMH, CVG, SAL and SAP this year.

Searched and didn't see this mentioned. BOI-JFK seasonally
"JetBlue announced it will add operations at the Boise Airport this summer – and give travelers a direct route from Boise to New York City."

Also Kalispell. That is very exciting. It will be awesome to have a nonstop flight from here, and hopefully it is reasonably priced.

Yup, this is first time ever nonstop flight to BOI & FCA. First time in Idaho. They never been there before.

Wow, FCA and BOI are bold moves, not sure how much transcon demand there will be from there. Surprised we don't see a JV/alliance with Alaska to fly routes like FCA/BOI-SEA-JFK, big gamble by B6 entering a transcon market right out of Idaho. I'm sure Delta and would do it if they saw a lot of connecting traffic.
