Delta Express or JetBlue??

From JFK to MCO, Delta is $10 cheaper, slightly better time schedule, I can get mileage...etc. But I heard great things about JetBlue, leather seats and all..... What would you pick? Is Delta pretty good about being on time? We plan to fly out Nov 9.

here's my 2cents...if one airline (DeltaX) is less expensive & have better flight times I'd go with them. Also, if there is a mechanical/weather delay which airline has more flights that give you a better chance of getting to/from MCO? Sometimes you get bumped to another flight when there are delays.

Also...Delta will likely still be around in November.

Adamak,
I am curious as to the prices you recieved for Dalta and Jetblue. We have flown Delta from JFK and LGA to MCO. The flights were always full, most times they are offering vouchers ( we have never taken them but at times we have been tempted.)We were usually late leaving LGA ( no surprise there huh?) but the flights from JFK were close to on time.
Jetblue is a great airline. The seats are nice and the jets are large. They have quite a few flghts and usually are on time. I am also a Delta Sky miles member so I would likely choose Delta for the miles.( I just booked our trip for November out of ISP on Southwest..)

From Orbitz.com, Delta is $159. JetBlue is $169. Delta has later returning flight, and since I can get mileage... I will probably choose Delta. Too bad, I heard all these great things about JetBlue. I want to try it, but maybe next time.

Jet Blue all the way.

It's worth the $10! Most people do not realize that all their planes were manufactured in 2000! That's a brand new fleet. Delta, not so new and Delta loves late take offs. Plus, if you don't have a portable dvd player, try their comfy seats and your own Direct TV screen!

You can keep the peanuts, I want my Direct TV!

I'd go with JetBlue as a gesture of thanks. Delta is trying to undercut the new airline and put it out of business. If JetBlue did not exist, Delta's fare would be much higher.
