A review of JetBlue Airways(page 2 of 3) the snacksFree airplane meals became an endangered species on airplanes back in the 80s and 90s. With 9/11, free meals became extinct. Since all we're left with are snacks, let's at least discuss JetBlue's offerings. In typical JetBlue fashion, the snacks are great. You don't get standard Lay's potato chips; no, you get TerraBlues - a high class potato chip. They also have cookies and a few other snacks to choose from (yes you get a choice). When they have a lot of snacks left over on a flight, the flight attendents often offer you more than one snack. As for the drinks, JetBlue does something very smart that I wish other airlines would copy. On JetBlue they come by and take your drink order. Then they go to the back of the plane and bring your drink up to you. This might seem slower, but in practice I think it is at least as fast as on other airlines, because JetBlue's method doesn't clog the aisle with the stupid cart that most airlines use. With the cart, the flight attendants spend half of their time trying to let people get by. The Badfew destinations unless you live in Boston or NYCIf you live in Boston or New York, JetBlue can take you almost anywhere in the US. If you live anywhere else in the US, JetBlue can probably take you to Boston or New York. Check out their flight map for details. Their minor hubs of DC, Ft Lauderdale, Long Beach, and Oakland also have a fair number of destinations. flights aren't available from major travel search engines JetBlue flights are only available from their website, and do not show up on orbitz, travelocity, expedia, etc... So if you want to fly JetBlue, you have to search and buy your ticket from the JetBlue website. TrueBlue frequent flyer program is close to useless TrueBlue is the frequent flyer program offered by JetBlue. The good thing about the program is that the rules are easy to understand. You need 100 points for a free JetBlue flight. You get 2 points for short flights, 4 points for medium flights, and 6 points for long flights. Unfortunately, the points disappear after one-year. I've flown JetBlue a lot over the last six years, and I've never reached 100 points. I've hit 80 points many times. But just when you get close, your points reach one year and you start losing them. One of the problems is that you can't reach all of your destinations with JetBlue, because they only fly to major cities. So unless you fly back-and-forth between major cities a lot (in which case you probably fly for business, and businesses likely make you fly on a major US carrier), you're unlikely to get a free flight from the TrueBlue program. holiday fairs are pricey Unless you book your ticket extremely early, JetBlue is unlikely to be the cheapest way to fly home for the holidays. Their holiday prices are typically very high. Previous Page | Next Page Skip to page: 1 | 2 | 3 |
