JetBlue CEO Joanna Geraghty stated that domestic first class has become predictable and that BlueFirst offers an elevated experience with thoughtful touches and great value. [^4]

The seats feature a two-by-two configuration with five inches of recline and up to seven inches of additional legroom compared to JetBlue's Main seats. [^7]

The cabin is slated to debut later this year on aircraft without Mint, with the first equipped aircraft expected to begin service by the end of this year. [^6][^3]
