Amenities in Mint
The Mint amenities debuting this spring include a reusable, foldable backpack, available on transatlantic flights beginning March 13, and a collectible amenity pouch, available on domestic flights beginning April 1.

The amenity kits, created in partnership with Buzz, are set to enhance the passenger experience in JetBlue's premium Mint class while focusing on sustainability.
On transatlantic routes, Mint passengers will receive the charcoal-coloured Caraa sport mesh pouch that unfolds into a mint-coloured, functional backpack, suitable for use as a travel day pack, hotel gym bag or beach tote.
On domestic routes, Mint travellers will be able to use a snappable pouch that holds all travel essentials. There are four colourways (sage, clay, sand, gunmetal) so passengers can collect them all to mix and match with their own style, mood and travel accessories.
The kits contain products from Dr. Dennis Gross, helping passengers prioritize skincare in the skies with the comfort of knowing they are cruelty-free and safe-for-skin products. Mint passengers can find ultra-rich Hyaluronic Marine products inside the kit, including the Hyaluronic Marine Oil-Free Moisture Cushion and Hydrate + Smooth Hand Treatment, Ultra Gentle Daily Peel treatments and Moisture-Lock Lip Balm.
Plus Ultra is an eco-conscious company creating personal care essentials and accessories for oral hygiene.

Travellers will also find Plus Ultra’s Mint gel toothpaste or mouthwash inside the kit.
