As we pass Halloween, the festive period is fast coming upon us. JetBlue is launching new products on board for the upcoming festive season.
Who needs wings when you have charms?
JetBlue’s Blue are launching a series of Charms. Designed for pop-in style charm shoes and apparel, these charms let travellers turn their travel memories into fashion moments by popping them into the wearable styles customers know and love. They feature Wings Blue Charm, Spotlight Tailfin Blue Charm.
They’re available now on flights throughout JetBlue’s network.
IFE Updates for the festive season
It’s that time of year when the Christmas movie is defrosted. JetBlue’s Holiday Classics collection will be loaded on seatback screens, featuring favourites like A Christmas Story (1983), Elf and Home Alone, alongside animated hits such as Frozen and The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Meanwhile, JetBlue’s Made-for-TV Holiday Flix collection offers holiday homecomings, mistletoe matchups and movies that are the hallmark of every holiday season. Featured titles include A Merry Royal Christmas, Jingle All the Way to Love and The Perfect Christmas Date.
For those travelling into the New Year, JetBlue’s Fresh Start collection of titles includes Eat Pray Love, Soul and About Time. With Crewmember Picks, customers can always find an onboard favourite from titles specially picked by JetBlue crewmembers, such as The Devil Wears Prada, Wicked and Jurassic Park.
And if you don’t lie those, JetBlue will debut Boston Blue (a CBS series) on its IFE too.

Cute touches to the season ahead
JetBlue has focused on some of the big touchpoints when travelling this winter – be it the food and drink you’ll be served onboard, to the in-flight entertainment and even a collector’s chase game, with new charms to collect as a memory of a flight.
