Opinions on JetBlue Airlines

For those of you who have flown JetBlue Airlines I'm curious to know what your opinions are? I am particularly partial to Southwest but for a possible trip I am able to get a better fare on JetBlue. Any insight would be appreciated.

We Jetblue!!!!

It's the only airline we fly!!! It's soooo comfortable with the leather seats and lots of leg room and we love the delicious snacks (and Dunkin Donuts coffee!!!) and Direct TV and XM radio!!! Plus I almost always find the best fares for Jetblue!

Can you tell we're HUGE fans??????

That's funny, in your trip report, looking at the picture of your DH and DD on the plane, I said to myself, I wonder what airline that is. Those seats actually look comfy and cozy. Now I know!

Re: Opinions on JetBlue Airlines

I L VE L VE L VE JetBlue! I have been flying JetBlue since they first launched in 2000. I'd fly it EVERYWHERE if I could. Unfortunately, the fares on JetBlue have gotten so high out of New York...much higher than they ever were. If you can get a great deal, GO FOR IT!!!!! Unlike SWA, you get assigned seats and you don't have to worry about your boarding position. The seats are HUGE, soft leather and VERY comfy! They also have satellite TV at every seat. FUN!!!!!!!

We were actually on the smaller embraer plane and it was only two seats across but the bigger planes (the airbus) are just as comfy!!!!

Re: Opinions on JetBlue Airlines

Does anyone know if JetBlue has joined the bandwagon of "extra fees" or are they still holding out like Southwest Airlines??

So far the first bag checked is free (per passenger) and there is a charge for any additional baggage checked.

Re: Opinions on JetBlue Airlines

I didn't see any flights from New Orleans to Orlando...that must be why . I guess I'll have to settle without the snacks and coffee .

Re: Opinions on JetBlue Airlines

We are also huge JetBlue fans. I actually used to work in the JFK JetBlue terminal years ago, as a food/beverage manager. I have always loved JetBlue and I really try to not fly any other airlines, because I seem to be always disappointed. We flew Delta to WDW last year and I had a horrible time.


I booked my airfare on JetBlue for our upcoming September trip months ago and got 3 roundtrip tickets from JFK to MCO for under $500, including everything, even taxes. That's a pretty good deal for this area.

12Amigos, I believe I flew JetBlue from NY to New Orleans quite a few years ago, so I'm sure they are in the airport, but they may not do the shorter flight from LA to FL.

Re: Opinions on JetBlue Airlines

I'd like to try Jet Blue one day. I've heard good things about them.
Sadly I haven't been able to try them yet as Jet Blue's fare from Newark is always more than the other carriers.

Re: Opinions on JetBlue Airlines

I love Jetblue...

I could catch a flight from Pago Pago to LAX, then catch a ride to Long Beach Airport, and fly Jetblue from Long Beach to Atlanta or Dulles. But then U.S. Air cut prices and Jetblue had to abandon the Atlanta route.

Now, it's just Dulles, which is a longer drive for me..

Still, it's a great airline to fly!
