JetBlue has announced that it will add Mint business class service on its Bozeman routes to support the upcoming seasonal Montana ski season.
From February 2025, JetBlue will fly its Mint-equipped A321s to Bozeman (BZN) from both Boston (BOS) and New York (JFK) on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays until the end of the winter season.
“We are excited to introduce our award-winning Mint experience to Bozeman and Big Sky, enhancing the travel experience for our customers flying from Boston and New York,” said Dave Jehn, vice president, network planning and airline partnerships, JetBlue. “With the introduction of Mint and the increased frequency of flights on weekends, we are committed to offering our customers premium travel options, making their journey to Bozeman and back an exceptional experience.”

The same applies to its New York flights, with the exception of its non-Mint flights operating on Mondays and Wednesdays instead.
These Mint fares cost a pretty penny, starting just short of $1,200 for the 5 hour round trip service. Compare that to just $150 in economy. However it’s no secret that Bozeman has started attracting a more affluent crowd, so I’m sure those seats can easily be filled.
For those who have never flown Mint before, JetBlue is one of the few carriers to offer full lie-flat business class seats on U.S. domestic routes, on top of the other usual amenities such as IFE displays, small plate meal service and priority check in.
Maybe one day JetBlue can introduce year-round first class service if they do decide to go through with the rumored premium cabin retrofit.
