NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU) today proudly announced it has been named the number one domestic airline in Travel + Leisure\u2019s World\u2019s Best Awards 2019. Each year, the readers of Travel + Leisure, the largest travel brand in the United States, vote on their favorite airlines, destinations, hotels, and more. Now approaching 20 years of low-fare flying, JetBlue continues to put the customer at the center of the travel experience in ways no airline can match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhether it\u2019s new planes on new routes, our customer comfort and inflight connectivity, or our airport amenities and caring crewmembers, JetBlue strives to lead the industry in every aspect of air travel,\u201d said Joanna Geraghty, JetBlue\u2019s president and chief operating officer. \u201cHonors like this from Travel + Leisure show that the dedication of our 22,000+ crewmembers is truly making a difference in the experiences of our customers each day and we couldn\u2019t be prouder.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recognition comes as JetBlue recently took delivery of its first Airbus A321neo aircraft and announced future orders for the A321LR, A321XLR and A220-300 aircraft. Together the aircraft will usher in the next chapter of the JetBlue story with unmatched fuel savings, a best-in-class customer experience from award-winning crewmembers, and the promise to broaden the customer-focused airline\u2019s reach within the Americas and into Europe in the years ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, JetBlue continues to make significant investments in its current fleet and customer experience through the restyling of its A320 aircraft. JetBlue\u2019s newest Airbus A320 cabin experience officially took flight this spring and introduces a new era of comfort and connectivity to travelers, bringing to the skies the widest seats available for this aircraft and the most legroom in coach of any U.S. airline (a). The refreshed experience also offers an unparalleled inflight entertainment (IFE) experience with 100+ channels of DIRECTV\u00ae and hundreds of free movies and shows, expanded coverage of free Fly-Fi\u00ae broadband connectivity almost everywhere JetBlue flies (b) and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, JetBlue continues to expand its award-winning premium Mint experience on cross-country routes and in the Caribbean and Latin America. Currently, the airline operates more than 80 daily Mint flights in 15 JetBlue cities. On most of these routes, JetBlue is the only airline to offer regularly scheduled flights with a lie flat seat, which complements other Mint amenities including tapas-style dining, Hayward and Hopper amenity kits, dessert from local artisanal ice cream makers and award-winning service from hospitality-trained crewmembers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor 24 years, our readers have been voting in the Travel + Leisure World\u2019s Best Awards,\u201d said Jacqui Gifford, Editor in Chief, Travel + Leisure. \u201cThis annual franchise is a global collection of the top hotels, islands, cities, cruise lines, airlines, and more.
