JetBlue Brings Award-Winning Mint® Experience to Orlando for the First Time

Mint flights from Orlando and Newark to Las Vegas take off this winter; more weeks of Mint service between Newark and LAX added

To celebrate launch, one-way fares available from $109 in core and $599 and $499 in Mint available on jetblue.com

JetBlue (Nasdaq: JBLU) today announced it will bring its signature Mint experience to Orlando International Airport (MCO) for the first time, marking a new era of premium travel for Central Florida customers. Beginning October 30, 2025, JetBlue will offer two daily flights featuring Mint between Orlando and Las Vegas (LAS) for the winter travel season, with one of those flights continuing year-round.

The announcement comes as JetBlue celebrates 25 years of service in Orlando this month, underscoring the airline’s long-standing commitment to the region. The new flights provide direct access to JetBlue’s unique take on premium business-class travel and further strengthens its presence in the Orlando market. To celebrate the launch, JetBlue is offering limited-time introductory one-way fares starting at $599 in Mint and $109 in core now available on jetblue.com.¹

“Orlando has always been an important city to JetBlue, and we’re excited to debut Mint service in this market with flights to Las Vegas,” said Dave Jehn, JetBlue’s vice president, network planning and airline partnerships. “As we celebrate 25 years in Orlando, this marks an exciting new chapter for us and our Central Florida customers, who can now enjoy lie-flat seats, curated restaurant-style dining and premium benefits on a new leisure route, just in time for the winter travel season.”

JetBlue operates more than 60 daily departures to 27 destinations from its Orlando focus city and maintains a significant crewmember base at its Orlando Support Campus (OSC), which serves as the airline’s training center and more.
