Routes with A321 neo?
 

I’ve been trying to search for this to no avail. Is there a list of JetBlue routes that use the A321 neo?

NEO w/ Mint or regular NEO?

I was thinking of either! Mostly wondering cos I heard the WiFi is better and faster on these A321neo planes.

JFK-GYE will nearly always have an A321neo, as will TATL routes. JFK-LAX gets priority (I believe) for the NEO with Mint. As for other routes it is kind of hit-or-miss as it's relatively interchangable with the classic A321.

The A321neo has the same wifi as the A320 phase 2 refreshed fleet (the majority of 32M aircraft), as well as the A220 fleet. It is the ViaSat-2 system. The only aircraft that have the legacy ViaSat are the A321ceo (both with and without Mint), the E190, and the remaining classic A320s (320).

Will they receive more A321neo with mint and flying other routes in the near future? Recently had A321neo with Mint from LAX-BOS.

Yes, they have a ton of new A321neos with Mint coming but of course Airbus has been very slow with deliveries. They have been popping up on some SFO-BOS and SFO-JFK flights recently but I would expect by next year once the deliveries come through that most of the LAX/SFO-JFK/BOS flights will be served by neos.

They are mainly based out of BOS to help support the London operations (more often than not the BOS-London flights have 16 or less paying MINT so it is an easier swap than potentially downgrading 8 MINT pax out of JFK). They are currently loaded on BOS-LAX/LAS/SFO/SXM with varying frequencies.

NEO now that's a great choice. :td:

just flew SFO-BOS redeye on 321neo, excellent experience

while i can understand the benefit of an A321neo because of the fuel efficiency, for a ~6.5 hour flight to GYE, its a rather small and cramped cabin. I much preferred LATAM pre-covid, also non-stop and a widebody cabin. 2x4x2 seating if I remember correctly as well, in the main cabin.

Well it's the only plane that JetBlue has that can do the flight nonstop given the geographic limitations. 2-4-2 on a 767 is gross (most airlines have 2-3-2, some foreign carriers -- especially LCCs -- often squeeze in an extra seat) and even I would probably take JetBlue over that :o

JetBlue had an accident with a 200Y A321ceo last night at JFK so that plane is down for the count for probably a week at least. Most routes use the CEO and NEO interchangeably (obviously excluding GYE and other places like BUR if it gets the big plane) so it will be interesting to see which cities get the shaft this week.
