"With travel hitting a record high this year, consumers are eager to find the companies making every stage of the travel journey easier and more enjoyable," said Brian Kelly, Founder of The Points Guy. "The companies we're celebrating this year are not only meeting these heightened expectations, but far exceeding them, with programs and offerings around the world that make planning, booking, flying and unwinding easier than ever."
"Competitors have tried time and again to replicate the JetBlue experience, but customers know that our exceptional onboard product, paired with the outstanding service of our crewmembers, is truly hard to match," said Jayne O'Brien, JetBlue's head of marketing and customer support. "Being recognized by The Points Guy—a trusted name in travel—reinforces our commitment to delivering great service at low fares and proves the experience we provide to customers searching for travel, including to Europe, surpasses other carriers.

JetBlue's industry-leading core experience—its take on economy class—offers every customer to experience seatback entertainment at every seat; free, fast and unlimited Fly-Fi broadband internet1; complimentary, brand-name snacks and drinks; and award-winning customer service. This year, the airline reached new milestones as it continued to push boundaries and deliver a best-in-class experience:
-
A Boost for Blue Basic: JetBlue gave a boost to its basic economy fare by allowing customers to bring a complimentary carry-on bag with purchase of a Blue Basic fare this fall. This change made JetBlue's basic economy offering one of the industry's best values for price-conscious consumers, boosting the value and experience of all core customers.
-
EvenMore in Core: JetBlue announced plans to evolve its Even More Space extra legroom seat into a compelling new product with enhanced amenities and perks. Launching in 2025, EvenMore will elevate the premium leisure experience while offering customers the enhanced comfort of the extra legroom seating they already know and love. More details surrounding EvenMore will be revealed in the coming weeks.
-
Enhanced Personalization: In April 2024, Blueprint by JetBlue™ debuted to give customers new personalization features on JetBlue's award-winning touchscreen entertainment system, including group watch parties, saved favorites, content recommendations and more. Blueprint gives customers a bespoke inflight experience, not only throughout their current journey, but extending into their next flights for a more customized experience.
- Expanded Service: In 2024, JetBlue brought its award-winning core experience to new European destinations with nonstop seasonal service from New York (JFK) to Edinburgh Airport (EDI), nonstop seasonal service from New York and Boston Logan Airport (BOS) to Dublin Airport (DUB), and nonstop daily service from Boston to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG).
