JetBlue updates inflight snacks and drinks for summer
JetBlue's new inflight snack and beverage offerings for summer 2024
JetBlue has unveiled a lineup of new onboard features for passengers to enjoy this summer. Beginning this month, JetBlue is introducing new complimentary snacks, Mint and Core menu changes, additional entertainment options and more onboard personalization capabilities through Blueprint by JetBlue.
Snacks for all palates inflight
JetBlue’s complimentary snack selection is expanding with some sweet and savoury additions this summer. As of May 1, Partake's Classic Grahams are available as a sweet inflight snack. Partake’s Class Grahams are crafted with high-quality ingredients; they are certified gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO and top nine allergen-free, making it an inclusive snack option.
In June, travellers who prefer a savory flavour profile to something sweet will be able to try Safe+Fair®’s Everything Bagel Pretzels, which are lightly dusted in Safe + Fair’s signature top nine allergen-free onion and garlic spice blend. Current onboard snack partners such as Popchips® Sea Salt and Chifles® Plantain Chips will also remain inflight options for passengers.
JetBlue is New York’s Hometown Airline® and is celebrating the addition of a New York-based brand to its roster of liquor options across Mint and Core experiences. From Albany, NY, ALB® Vodka is a premium spirit that is 100 percent American corn-based, and gluten-free. It is crafted with Upstate water and quadruple charcoal filtration that compliments onboard cocktails.
JetBlue is also introducing new mixer options from Owen’s Craft Mixers to all flights available for purchase in Core cabins and complimentary in Mint.
New seatback menus will direct passengers on how to create their own “Runway ‘Rita” with Owen’s Sparkling Margarita Mix or a Mile-High Lemonade with Owen’s Classic Lemonade.
Flavours of summer on JetBlue
NYC-based restaurant Legacy Records will bring its dining experience to JetBlue’s Mint Class this summer. For breakfast, transatlantic passengers can enjoy strawberries drizzled in black pepper syrup and basil paired with quinoa pancakes with blueberry compote or a ricotta crepe with hazelnut and caramel.
