For the Fourth Time, JetBlue Receives TPG
Editors’ Choice Award Honoring its Domestic and International Core
Cabin
JetBlue (Nasdaq: JBLU) today announced it has been recognized by
The Points Guy (TPG) with an Editors’ Choice Award for Best Economy
Class across U.S. airlines. This is the fourth time JetBlue, known
for its low fares and great service, has won the coveted award and
marks the airline’s seventh Editors’ Choice Award since 2018.
Curated by the distinguished editors of the leading consumer
travel platform, TPG’s highly competitive awards honor excellence
in airlines, travel and credit cards.
“In the year of revenge travel, we’re so excited to honor the
best in travel, credit cards and loyalty programs,” said Brian
Kelly, Founder of The Points Guy. “The beauty of travel would not
be possible without these companies and the exceptional services
they provide. Celebrating them with the TPG Awards is just a small
way to say thank you on behalf of consumers all over the world for
making their travel dreams a reality.”
Since 2018, The Points Guy has recognized the best in airlines,
travel, credit cards and loyalty programs through the annual TPG
Awards. Nominees for the TPG Awards were selected by TPG editors
who have traveled around the world to thoroughly assess which
products and companies were the best in each category, before
voting opened for the general public online between September 1
through September 30.
“After a banner year in which JetBlue doubled-down on bold moves
to grow as a travel company, we continue our commitment to the low
fares and great service that makes our award-winning core
experience unique,” said Jayne O’Brien, head of marketing and
loyalty, JetBlue. “This recognition from trusted travel platform
The Points Guy emboldens us to continue our path to disrupt legacy
carriers as we aim to bring the JetBlue Experience to more
customers.”
JetBlue—currently the sixth largest airline in the U.S.—is known
for its industry-leading core experience, which allows every
customer to have the most legroom in coach (a); seatback
entertainment at every seat; free, fast and unlimited Fly-Fi
broadband internet (b); 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 core experience:
- Expanded Service: In 2023, JetBlue brought its
award-winning core experience to new European destinations with
nonstop daily service from New York City (JFK) to Paris Charles de
Gaulle Airport (CDG) and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS), and from
Boston Logan Airport (BOS) to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS).
With the addition of new routes, JetBlue continues to disrupt
transatlantic markets with its unique combination of low fares and
great service.
- A Trailblazing Anniversary: This year marks the 10-year
anniversary of JetBlue’s free, fast and unlimited Fly-Fi on every
flight. JetBlue remains the only major U.S. airline to offer free
Wi-Fi to all customers, giving them a multiscreen experience to
stay connected with loved ones, keep up with work and enjoy leisure
time while inflight.
- Brand New Partnerships: Several new partners came
onboard to elevate the core experience including new brand-name
snacks and new entertainment throughout the year. This summer,
JetBlue launched an exclusive partnership with NBCUniversal’s
streaming service, Peacock, to offer customers more than 100 pieces
of exclusive onboard content. The first-of-its-kind partnership is
fully integrated with JetBlue’s TrueBlue loyalty program, which
provides members ways to earn points when subscribing to Peacock,
and provides all levels of Mosaic with a 12-month Peacock
subscription as part of their membership.
- Upgraded Loyalty: With a refreshed TrueBlue program that
launched earlier this year, JetBlue made loyalty more valuable than
ever before, providing members with new perks that can be enjoyed
when traveling in core, including early boarding, priority security
and a free alcoholic drink. Mosaic members can select complimentary
Even More® Space seats when traveling in core and enjoy up to 7”
more legroom, as well as enjoy complimentary beer, wine and liquor.
All TrueBlue Members can rack up points to book the award-winning
core experience to their favorite destination even faster.
- A Growing Fleet: JetBlue continues to invest in an
industry-leading onboard experience welcoming new aircraft with
customer-centric designs to its fleet. JetBlue’s new and
forthcoming planes continue to raise the bar with large overhead
bins, spacious seating, enhanced free high-speed Wi-Fi, ambient LED
lighting, in-seat power outlets, and cutting-edge seatback
entertainment.
- Bold Moves for the Future: JetBlue remains committed to
its planned combination with Spirit Airlines, which will enable it
to bring its core experience to more customers, further disrupting
the airline industry and creating a national low-fare challenger to
the Big Four airlines.
This recognition comes as JetBlue announces further expansion of
its transatlantic network, bringing the award-winning core
experience to Dublin, Edinburgh and additional service to
Paris.
