JetBlue is making some adjustments to the boarding order of its flights.
Starting April 29, the airline will switch to numbered boarding groups, instead of the existing system, which uses names and letters to designate groups.
While Mosaic and Mint travelers will continue to enjoy priority boarding, JetBlue is bumping up “EvenMore” passengers — those with seats with extra legroom — to Group 2, which includes Mosaic 1 and 2 members.
In addition, the airline adds a new boarding group for premium members JetBlue Premier Card or the JetBlue business cardalong with passengers who pay “Blue Extra” fares or choose early boarding as a TrueBlue benefit (although that excludes passengers flying on a Blue Basic ticket).
JetBlue Premier and JetBlue Business information has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.
