JetBlue confirms its new first-class cabin will be named 'BlueFirst' and plans to introduce basic fares with tighter restrictions to first and extra-legroom cabins by end of 2026

## Summary

JetBlue has confirmed the name for its upcoming first-class cabin: **BlueFirst**. The airline plans to debut domestic-style first-class recliners on planes that do not currently have the Mint cabin, with the rollout expected to begin by the end of 2026. Simultaneously, JetBlue is expanding its 'basic' fare concept to premium cabins. New **BlueFirst Basic** and **EvenMore Basic** fares will be introduced, featuring tighter restrictions than standard tickets, including no seat selection, change/cancellation fees, and reduced TrueBlue point earning. JetBlue will operate four cabins: Main, EvenMore, BlueFirst, and Mint. Within these cabins, fares will be categorized as Standard, Flex (fully refundable), or Base. Notably, Mint will not have a base offering, meaning there will be no 'basic business' class. This move follows similar unbundling strategies by Delta and United, signaling a shift in how premium cabin value is structured for frequent flyers
