The transcontinental JetBlue flights will feature the longest fully lie-flat beds in the domestic circuit which can accommodate people as a 6 foot 8 inches. In addition to 16 such lie-flat beds, the aircraft will also feature 4 private cabins with closed doors – a first for any US domestic airline. 22.3 inch wide seats fitted with massagers, 15-inch screens with 100 channels of DirecTV programming, wake me up service are just a few of the features that’ll make the experience pleasurable.
That’s not all; JetBlue will match the in-flight comfort with best in the business services.

JetBlue will also be the only U.S. airline to offer customized men’s and women’s amenity kits from partner Birchbox. Customers will receive new favorite beauty and grooming products from Birchbox in these unique kits.
