Jet Blue

[michelle1]

Does anyone have any experience with this airline? We always fly SW and love it but JetBlue is cheaper for our Buffalo-MCO flight not to mention they have satellite TV and I can preselect my seats. Are they like Airtrans and change flight times?

We just booked Jet Blue out of Syracuse for our November flights. They came highly recommended by my friend. Southwest doesn't seem to have the great $39 or $49 flights like they used to. One thing I have learned is you should book immediately when your dates are released as they only go up from there. They told me that they only sell 10 seats at the first price and then keep moving the price up from there. My bil booked his flights 10 minutes after me and his flights are $200 more(both families of 5). HTH, Jen

I flew Jet Blue from Orlando to New York City last May (took my kids to Yankee Stadium after a DW trip and quickly discovered that a 3 yr old and 1 yr old do not belong in NYC). I thought they were great. Not a single thing stands out as "bad" with that trip... er.. flight. My toddlers trashed the hotel room, but that has nothing to do with the flight. From now on, unless the costs are within a few hundred dollars, I plan to fly Jet Blue out of Buffalo to Orlando. Besides, when you fly out of Buffalo you can check your luggage at the resort if you are staying at WDW, something you cannot do with international flights.

We flew Jet Blue last summer from Portland to Orlando. I would definatley reccomend them. Nice planes, friendly staff.. reminds me of Westjet.

We used to fly Southwest until we found Jetblue! They seem to have cheaper airfare and they offer a lot perks in comparison. I love be able to select my seats instead of hovering around my computer exactly 24 hrs to check in hoping that this means we can all sit together. Also Jetblue has TV sets in the seats, wonderful to make the time go quicker.
The only issue we did have was they changed our flight time on one flight twice, by a lot. They contacted us by email and phone to make sure we knew of the change.

We flew Jetblue in December of last year and loved it. Great television in each seat, nice crew, etc. They did, however, change our flight time for our return flight by about 3 hours....that left us with 3 hours less of Mickey Otherwise, really enjoyed Jetblue and will definitely fly with them again!!

We flew both JetBlue and Southwest on our last trip. Same price, and I found them to be very similar for the most part -- with the exception of in-flight TV with JetBlue of course, which we loved. They're my first choice, but Southwest is a great second.

We flew we Jet Blue last January. We were able to select our seat at no extra cost, check bagage at no extra cost

They did change the flight times, no very dramatic... We also experienced a 3hr + delay on the day we were leaving, mechanical problems Once we boarded the gaves us a free movie and we all received a 50$ vouchers for our next flight.

The flight attends were very friendly and the plane was amazing, brand new, lots +++ of leg room & the seats seemed even wider

Also when you flight with Jet Blue you can benefit from the airline check in from the Disney resort. You check in at the resort, check your baggage, hop on the ME and off to the airport. No need to fuss with the suitecases until you are home!! Big bonus when you travel with 3 kids.

Overall I would fly with them again and would recomand them to anyone!!

I'm looking forward to make use of the vouchers 250$ off our next family vacation to Disney

We have flown both SW and Jetblue. The only difference I found were: SW doesn't charge if you change you flights and Jetblue does and also the fact that SW has more direct flights daily out of Buffalo than Jetblue. My experience has also been SW tends to be more on time than Jetblue but Jetblue tends to have their schedule out faster than SW. I love them both and prefer them to Airtran.
