JetBlue drops hot meals for economy passengers [Video]

JetBlue’s economy class passengers will no longer find hot meals on the menu aboard transatlantic flights.

The airline’s new menus for its core economy class feature a note: “all items served chilled.”

That means chilled overnight oats, crepes and frittatas for breakfast. Lunch and dinner items include chilled soba noodles, a chicken grain bowl and mushrooms and lentils.

Hot meals are still offered to transatlantic passengers flying the airline’s premium Mint class.

“After a trial run this summer on our Dublin and Edinburgh seasonal flights, we are extending a new core menu onto our six transatlantic daily flights this fall,” JetBlue said in a statement. The airline said the new core menu “lives up to the standard we set for high-quality meals. This change is part of our effort to ensure we can continue to provide a great experience at JetBlue’s competitive fares on these routes.”
