JetBlue Airways to Reform Fare Options in December 2025, Prepares Domestic First Class BlueFirst

JetBlue Airways is reforming its fare options as it prepares for the launch of its domestic first-class cabin, BlueFirst. Passengers will first choose legroom and seat class, including Main (economy), Even More (extra legroom), and the upcoming domestic first class, BlueFirst. Each class offers three fare options: Base, Standard, and Flex. Base is the lowest price, includes carry-on baggage but no seat selection, and is refundable as travel credit; changes or cancellations incur a fee, and passengers earn 1 TrueBlue point per dollar spent. Standard includes seat selection, no change or cancellation fees, but requires payment of any fare difference, and earns 3 TrueBlue points per dollar. Flex adds the ability to receive a refund to the original payment method on top of Standard benefits.

JetBlue will eliminate its existing Core fare, consolidating economy options into the Main category. JetBlue's lie-flat Mint business class, used on long-haul routes such as transcontinental US flights and services to Paris, London, and Milan, will continue to offer only Standard and Flex options, with no basic lie-flat business product similar to those introduced by United Airlines and Delta Air Lines this year. United Airlines said this month that it will charge an extra fee for blocking the middle seat on certain aircraft. JetBlue has not yet provided a specific launch date for the BlueFirst seat. The airline plans to report its earnings on Tuesday.
