Does Blue Basic still get final boarding under JetBlue's new boarding groups?
Hey all. I heard JetBlue recently changed its boarding groups: https://www.jetblue.com/help/boarding-procedures
What I'm confused about is that the new boarding chart doesn't mention Blue Basic customers boarding last. I booked a Blue Basic ticket back in November for a flight next month, and at the time I didn't think much about boarding order. Now I'm realizing I'd rather not be among the last people to board if I can avoid it, but I'm also hesitant to spend 16.4k TrueBlue points on an EvenMore seat just for earlier boarding.
For reference, I'm in seat 20F on an A321 with a Mint cabin (FLL → LAX).
So my question is: do Blue Basic customers still get the final boarding group under the new system, or are they now mixed in with regular Blue fares and assigned boarding groups based on seat location?
Has anyone flown Blue Basic since the boarding changes and can share what boarding group they received?
