is jet blue any good?

Question

Im flying JetBlue to florida in november. is the airline any good?
what kind of features does the planes have?
what sucks about it?

Answer 1

I always fly jetblue whenever i get the chance. I think the best thing about them is that they have brand new planes with Direct TV in every seat. Friendly flight attendants and leather seats are also a plus! The downside is that they don't serve meals, even on coast to coast flights (but nowadays, who likes to pay $ for an airplane meal anyway?) They do offer plenty of snacks, including Terra Blue potato chips, biscotti, cheese and crackers, and more! None of the other discount airlines (ATA, airTran, Continental, etc) even comes close to jetblue!

Answer 2

I've flown Jet Blue twice now and the prices are great but the reason they can keep the prices so low is because they advertise heavily on their planes.

They have TV screens on the back of every seat and they promote every food and drink item you can get on the plane on ads on the screens prior to take off. You can watch regular basic satellite channels (DirecTV I believe) once you're in the air.

They'll give you a free soft drink, juice or water, or you can purchase beer or wine (they advertised the wine on my boarding pass offering a discount if I brought it into a particular wine shop here in NY).

Aside from that, they experience heavy delays just like most other airlines although they have been in the news in recent months for almost literally holding passengers hostage for hours on the runway waiting for clearance to take off. Their CEO resigned after it was found out that Corporate wouldn't allow one particular plane to return to the terminal after waiting for something like 6 hours on the runway with no food or water and overflowing toilets. It's best to get the earliest flight you can before problems start building up as the day progresses.

It's also a bit of a downer that they only fly from certain airports. I live walking distance from LaGuardia but have to go all the way out to JFK or Newark because the LaGuardia JetBlue flights are only to and from Florida.

Answer 3

It's fine - they have sattelite TV in the seats, good service, just fine planes. Nothing sucks except of course the normal sucky things about flying, security, delays, etc.

NO airline still serves meals any more on domestic flights.

Answer 4

I love JetBlue! When flying from Boston to San Jose and back, I loved it. Everyone gets their own TV, which has Direct TV channels. I watched Comedy Central the whole time!

The only downside is driving to Boston to fly them. It's easier for me to drive to Manchester, NH. But it's worth it!
