Passengers will also have access to 13.3-inch seatback screens with Bluetooth connectivity. On flights of 899 miles or longer, the service includes a meal consisting of an entree, side, and dessert, along with sommelier-selected wines.

The rollout will expand through early 2027, reaching destinations including Washington D.C., New York’s LaGuardia, Austin, Houston, Cancun, San Juan, and Liberia, Costa Rica.

Additionally, JetBlue announced updates to its TrueBlue Mosaic elite program effective 1 February 2027. Mosaic members across all four levels will be eligible for complimentary, space-available upgrades to BlueFirst. Furthermore, ‘Move to Mint’ certificates are being renamed ‘Premium Upgrade Certificates’ and can now be used for confirmed upgrades to either Mint or BlueFirst, subject to availability.
