JetBlue Wants You to Be Happy With Less Space
The airline is redoing its A320 cabins with mood lighting, more channels, bigger screens—and a dozen more seats.
JetBlue Airways Corp. has been talking about the first full revamp of its workhorse jetliner for a long time. This fall, almost 18 years since the popular low-cost carrier arrived at airports, it’s finally going to happen, and while there are plenty of bells and whistles to get you oohing and ahhing, there’s a little surprise that may leave you groaning.
Along with a larger, 10-inch touch screen, more than 100 live television channels, and a new link to the aircraft’s Wi-Fi system that lets you watch your own content on the plane’s screen, the new versions of the A320 will also include a dozen more seats squeezed in among the 150 already there.
