JetBlue Overhauls Fare Options Ahead Of BlueFirst Domestic First Class Launch

According to CNBC, JetBlue Airways is revamping its fare structure as it prepares to launch domestic first-class seats later this year. The airline will offer Main economy, Even More extra-legroom seats with earlier boarding and priority airport screening, and BlueFirst domestic first class. Under the new setup, Base fares will include a carry-on but not seat selection, Standard fares will include seat selection and no change or cancellation fee beyond any fare difference, and Flex fares will add refunds to the original form of payment. JetBlue said it is eliminating its current Core economy fares and moving economy options into the Main category. Its lie-flat Mint business class on longer-haul routes, including flights to Paris, London and Milan, will only offer Standard and Flex options. JetBlue did not provide a start date for BlueFirst and is set to report results on Tuesday.
