Shhh...Don't tell anyone but guess who's coming to ISP?

[bunnymkc]

I found out from reliable sources that Jet Blue is coming to ISP which is Macarthur Airport here on LI...Don't know when but they are coming...PLUTO DO YOU HEAR ME...

 

[lindaso]

Oh wow I hope this is true!!! I've emailed them many times about coming to Islip. This would be so great especially after Delta's loss. And I can never get a good fare/time on Southwest. Where did you here this? And I wonder if it will still apply after the hit the industry will take?

 

[sixcats]

This will be wonderful if it happens! I thought my days of isp convenience were over when Delta stopped its direct flights to MCO.

 

[DisneyHumbug]

Oh, that would be very very good news. Our flight in Feb. goes thru Atlanta since Delta stopped its non-stop service and I really don't want to go to Atlanta. My brother flew to MCO last year on Jet Blue and raved about the service!

Marianne - are youi playing with me? Just as I started racking up rapird rewards! After my Nov. trip, I'll have a free flight for, say, January???

That would be great though. I don't have a problem with SW but I would like a little more variation in the non-stop schedule besides 1 per day!

Keep me posted

Jet Blue would be a great addition at ISP!!

 

[poppins50]

I would give my my Delta skymiles for Jet Blue if they came to ISP. I hate Delta and I feel like I'm tied to them because of the miles. I sure hope that's true. I wonder when.

I'd also love to see an additional airline in ISP. Islip is not one of the original 44 cities that JetBlue had approved for service (over the first 3 or so years). I'm not sure how long it'll take to add Islip.
I found it easier to fly to Tampa out of ISP (schedule or available fares) than to fly out of JFK or LGA to Orlando.

 

[marianne98]

That would be awesome!!! I have heard so many good things about Jet Blue!! I hope it's true!

 

[Pluto4President]

flying to tampa isn't much different than driving to lga or jfk. An extra hours ride in my eyes.

 

[dcgrumpy]

That would be great. I love Jetblue, but I hate driving to JFK and paying for parking, when I'm so close to ISP plus parking is free.

 

[Lewisc]

Pluto--you've must have better luck than me. It's taken me over 45 minutes to get from the LT parking to the terminal (just missed a shuttle bus plus all the stops). Although I agree an hour to JFK is doable (from the approximate location of ISP) between the traffic for a morning flight and construction I figure I have to allow at least 2 1/2 hours (including the time to get back from LT parking).

 

[Pluto4President]

I just usually suck it up and park near the terminal. It's still less than taking in a limo. Don't get me wrong, last time I did it was 1½ years ago to go to Vegas. I'd rather pay a little extra and stay here.

 

[BuzzMe]

Wow, I hope this is true!! We love flying out of Islip and were so disappointed when Delta changed it's flight schedule.

 

[Pluto4President]

I just found out from my TA that it is true. They should be here soon, maybe even within a few months. We'll see...

 

[sixcats]

Guess I'll hold off on August airfare for a while.

 

[Pluto4President]

well unless you want lay overs out of ISP anyway . SWA is now only booking thu 4/05/02.

 

[Peterd]

Jetblue out of ISP would be great. With Southwest's only direct flight at 6:45am, it would be nice to have another choice. We're using Southwest in Nov. ISP never has any delays in or outbound.

 

[Pluto4President]

oh please, don't say never
