JetBlue is trying to improve its financial performance and return to profitability, and the airline is making good progress. In addition to introducing first class fleet wide as of 2026, the airline is also making changes to its extra legroom economy seating. The airline has now revealed exactly what we can expect from the rebranded…

Who cares? It's premium economy with less benefits than UA or AA have. Just another renaming to allow Noo Yawk Yankers and Massholes to sound particularly precious when describing PE on "their" "airline".

I'm not that impressed. This is just another example of dressing up a cow to make more money. Combine that with the fact that it has become dreadfully expensive to fly in the first place, and the product seems to be an overreach. I'd never pay for an EvenMore seat, regardless of how little they ask.

Is B6 afraid those on extra leg room exit rows would be drunk after the third drink?? ;-(

This feels like a missed opportunity to differentiate from the Y+ offerings at DL/AA/UA. A guaranteed open seat next to you would be a nice feature - at least until "Mini Mint" becomes available.

On a random date in June JetBlue is asking $99 for a "Blue" fare or $199 for an "Even More" fare from JFK to FLL. Double the price for a couple inches of added legroom, a "premium" cookie (that costs less than $2 at my local CVS), and a slight buzz from 3 alcoholic beverages? No thanks.

I wonder if this is diluting the Mosaic experience, as they already get 3 alcoholic beverages.

I often pay for even more if I can get it around $60 and I'm traveling alone because I like the extra legroom, and I like to deplane first.

Now, if only they would offer Evenmore customers Coke products vs the dreadful Pepsi products... haha

So I have to chose between free drinks and the exit row? Why????? I mean it's not like a separate cabin or anything like Comfort + they had a chance to differentiate themselves and they failed miserably. Bye..

This is not a positive thing. They have doubled the price for a bag of cookies. Not everyone drinks alcohol and if you have the JetBlue credit card you get 50% off on everything you buy on the plane so in no way does 3 drinks equate out to doubling the price. Anyone who is concerned with security wait times already has TSA precheck or Global Entry. The previous Evenmore seats boarded you right after those needing assistance so you were the first seats on the plane so there wasn’t a lack of storage space above your seat for your items because no one really had boarded the plane yet. I use these seats for health reasons and cannot swing minimally an additional $300.00 round trip for them. It is a rip off.

What are your data points suggesting double pricing?

How is it *less* benefits than UA Econ+? Last I knew Economy Plus didn’t offer complimentary alcoholic beverages or any additional snacks except on “premium transcontinental routes” and Econ+ doesn’t offer “priority security” which is frankly a yawn factor on any carrier. Extra cookies on JetBlue, that offers unlimited free snacks already, is totally boring too, but isn’t “less.”

We all get it, you hate JetBlue, but don’t pretend something is what it isn’t either. United is lagging the pack in domestic Y+; they’re even behind Spirit at this point.

Free booze!? Have you seen the typical B6 passenger? The police are going to be very busy in JFK, MCO, and FLL

B6 is a piece of evil garbage created by Neelzebub for the world people in the known universe, the human vermin that inhabit the hellscapes that are called New York and Boston. Therefore, it is inferior to the Hometown Airline of the greatest city in the world, Chicago, my birthplace and home.

Right, like I said, I get it - you hate JetBlue and obviously anything they do is worse. You didn’t answer the question. How is this gless* benefits than what UA offers?

Don’t be the Tim Dunn of Chicago.

Differentiation just doesn't work in this current climate for travelers. They've always been known to be innovative, but I suppose there's only so many ways you can do things differently. The Big 3 have been doing the best post-covid and at this point they're trying to survive to prevent themselves from becoming like Spirit.

i get these seats regularly and have always boarded group A which anyone one can get with the blue extra fare. so you do not board after mosaic or special needs. it is in the general group A.

Dedicated space for bags was full and my luggage was stored mid plane!! First row of seats should tell you that you don’t have space for your personal item! I had no access to my stuff! Thus was disappointing and I’m not sure it was worth the extra money to upgrade.
