Before Qsuite, This Airline Had A Business Class Suite With A Door Back In 2014

JetBlue’s Mint launched in June 2014 with an unusual business-class concept that predated widely cited suite launches. The article argues that search results often credit Qatar Airways’ Qsuite (debut in March 2017, flying June 2017) or Delta’s Delta One suites (announced August 2016, first flown in fall 2017), but JetBlue introduced Mint earlier. Mint debuted on the Airbus A321-200 as a premium cabin with 16 seats total, using the Thompson Vantage platform. What stood out was that four solo seats featured sliding doors, positioned as the first business-class privacy doors of their kind. However, only four of the 16 seats had doors, while later products moved toward door-equipped seats across the cabin.
