JetBlue AirwaysB6

JetBlue Airways is the seventh-largest U.S. airline, carrying 42 million passengers annually with a fleet of 290 aircraft. Based in Long Island City, New York, JetBlue has built its reputation on offering a premium economy experience at competitive prices.

JetBlue pioneered several industry firsts: seatback TVs at every seat, free WiFi fleet-wide, and the most legroom in coach among U.S. airlines. Their Mint business class has won acclaim for offering lie-flat seats with privacy doors on transcontinental and transatlantic routes.

The airline operates independently (no alliance) but has a "Blue Sky" partnership with United Airlines for reciprocal frequent-flyer benefits. JetBlue serves 114 destinations including transatlantic routes to London, Paris, Amsterdam, Dublin, Edinburgh, and Madrid.
