Read the article below originally published at [Fortune.com](http://fortune.com/management/jetblue-airlines-first-class-luxury/ "undefined"). Luxury travelers can start adding JetBlue to their list of airlines for cross-country flights. The carrier, famous for its all-coach set up, is already stocked with certain amenities: leather seats, satellite TV on each seat back, and high-quality snacks. Now it’s adding a first-class section with beds. The new luxury section will include 16 lie-flat seats (four sectioned off in a suite) on some New York-to-Los Angeles flights, [according to the New York Times](http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/24/business/jetblue-adds-flat-bed-seats-on-cross-country-flights.html?%5Fr=0 "undefined"). Flights to San Francisco will add the seats in October. The new service will be called “Mint.” [For the rest of the story, go to Fortune.com](http://fortune.com/2014/06/24/jetblue-airlines-first-class-luxury/ "undefined"). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2921367/jetblue-adds-flat-bed-seats/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2921367/jetblue-adds-flat-bed-seats/"},"headline":"JetBlue Flights Are About to Get Way More Comfortable","datePublished":"2014-06-25T16:12:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T05:08:12.526Z","description":"The new service, dubbed “Mint,” to be added to some New York-to-Los Angeles flights.","url":"https://time.com/2921367/jetblue-adds-flat-bed-seats/","keywords":["Transportation","Aviation","Travel"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6f99b2410dda9707/69869729e53aba587e4d31c1/140611_em_jetblue.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ben Geier"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6f99b2410dda9707/69869729e53aba587e4d31c1/140611_em_jetblue.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"140611_EM_JetBlue","caption":"Mint front row, JetBlue airplane","creditText":"courtesy of JetBlue","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2921367/jetblue-adds-flat-bed-seats/","name":"JetBlue Flights Are About to Get Way More Comfortable"}}]}] ```
