Ever flown JetBlue?
I've heard coach is a tad more comfortable than on other airlines. What do you think? Any other opinions to offer re: JetBlue?

1. yes.. I like it
the tv's help kill the time.

American and Jet Blue have the most leg room for coach that I've found.

He is incredibly precious.

2. Yes and I think that's true
They have one of the newer fleets too.

3. The TVs are great
Lots of Cable channels to choose from. Bring something to eat since all you get are drinks and nuts or chips.

It's an airplane so even an extra inch doesn't make a lot of difference to me but I've never had a delay or my bags lost.

4. I've never been with JetBlue but...
from personal experience, I prefer patronizing the smaller airlines in general. Their customer service is much better and the actual flight experience is better. I don't know if they are nicer because they genuinely want you to fly them again or what but US Air and Continental don't hold a candle to Spirit, AirTran, etc...

5. i love jet blue
the crews are great, more leg room if you sit in the middle/back of the plane and i like having the television to distract me. they have the normal drink/snack service but they have a lot of choices for the snacks (nuts, chips, cookies, crackers, etc) and they'll give you more than one if you ask.

7. I will if they ever start flying through LAX
Come on JetBlue! More choices = lower airfares for everybody.

11. They also fly out of Burbank
I think they avoid LAX on purpose. Ever flown out of a smaller LA-area airport? If so, you'll never go back to LAX (unless you live right next to it...)

12. I do live next to LAX... But Burbank is SWEET to fly through!
Did a Southwest hop out of Burbank. Very nice!

10. my best friend loves them
She always takes the red eye from Burbank to JFK. Apparently, not only are they comfortable, they also have in-seat TV and movies.
:woohoo:

14. I flew JetBlue to New York 5 years ago.
My partner had a musical that was going to be staged as part of a festival in NYC. I flew from Chicago to New York to meet up with him and to visit NYC for a few days.

I really liked my experiences flying JetBlue. The tickets were very reasonably priced, VERY attentive flight attendants (male, gay anc cute. I'm superficial, sue me. :-)). The ONLY problem with the flight was when we landed at LaGuardia...we sat on the tarmac for about 30 minutes, waiting to pull up to the gate.

I will fly JetBlue again if I get the chance.
