What are your thoughts on JetBlue?
JetBlue has the edge on most other domestic airlines for the products it offers. Fully featured IFE, free WiFi just to name a few. I also happen to prefer flying a320s than 737s as they tend to be configured with more seat width, pitch. Only thing I didn’t like was that they don’t offer free carryons on their regular fares anymore.
I believe that sadly that’s the way things are going with the base fair at the moment. I noticed United have started doing the same on some domestic routes.
I flew these guys from Boston to Washington Dulles quite a few years ago (on an Embraer). I remember it being a solid product. I notice they're going to start an Edinburgh to New York JFK flight in 2024, so maybe another one for you to review at some point, Dom?
Oh don't! I did see that they are coming to EDI & I'm so tempted! 😅 It is an airline I do think are pretty good.
Indeed. But EDI will be seasonal only in 2024. Of course things can and do change in aviation. Worth noting that JetBlue is a full service airline on the transatlantic so not BoB (as on US domestic routes).
@@alexmcwhirter6611 - seasonal is better than nothing at all. It'll be aimed mainly at US visitors to the UK, who tend to visit in the summer months.
@@176MarkW Quite agree. Also of course many N American travellers attend the Festival during August. JFK is JetBlue's hub so it can cater to those who connect from a myriad of domestic points.
I might just have to jump on one of these flights then 😅
The rocking chairs @ BOS are also landside between Terminal C & Terminal B
which is a favourite location for crew and is a lot quieter than the busy terminals .
Like most airlines, JetBlue shines if you have a CC with them: half-off all F&B when purchased on-board with the CC makes it worth while. For what it's worth, If you have the ahem, Chase Sapphire Reserve CC, you have unlimited access to said lounge. JetBlue does plan on opening its own Lounge in the very near future at Logan, but it will only be for Mint & Mosaic users.
What a great lounge and I bet 😮the ability to have a preflight shower made the flight more comfortable. The flight looked very good too. Loved the views of the city lights at night. Another enjoyable video Dom, thank you 😊
Thank you! It is a very nice lounge wish more were like it!
Hi Dom, Love your videos . I live in NY and Jet Blue has taken over in the last 20 years or so as serious competition to the other American Airlines especially here on the East coast. They fly to the Caribbean, Mexico and now the UK. I’ve flown with them several times and I like them. Want to try a flight to the UK, I’m from England so hope to do that soon xx
Which part of England are you from as if you are a fan of JetBlue it maybe work flying from NY into Edinburgh and taking the train south if your from the north of England, as JetBlue are set to start flying to Edinburgh in May. Plan to fly that route myself at some point. Glad you like the video, I promise I’ll keep them coming 😁
I’m from the south but my American husband and I want to travel to Scotland so we may look into that flight too
Another great video Dom. thank you 👍
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! There are many more to come in the next few weeks.
Wow, it's amazing to see IFE's in a US airline with domestic routes.
Indeed! I think more should be including this especially on flights over 3 hours.
I've never flown with JetBlue but they're certainly on my "to-do" list. Another great video, thanks for posting it!
Thank you David, I’m glad you enjoyed it. It is a great airline for what you pay. 😁
On returning to Boston
stay in the Seaport area of the city & take the Silver line hybrid bus runs every 15 mins from all terminals
Its v affordable
Enjoy . Christy 🇮🇪/🇵🇹 👍
early arrival means optimal routing/aircraft speed! thanks for sharing
I was impressed that they managed to do it.
Glad you enjoyed your flight with JetBlue! I will defiantly be trying them at some point!
You should! I'm looking at the EDI to JFK route myself if you'd be up for a collaboration at some point?
glasgow montana , u probably thought u were back in scotland.. haha
Haha absolutely! Always love seeing the wee Scottish references around the world. 😁 🏴
Always seen positive reviews of Jetblue. Great vlog, are we going to see the UK to US flight?
Yes we are, though I have got a surprise for that one so will be a couple weeks yet as it will take longer to produce.
We would have waved if we knew you were flying over Canada. :)
Haha thanks, I really need to do some Canadian 🇨🇦 trips soon! 🤣
I LOVE LOVE LOVE JetBlue! I fly them ALL the time! I just wish they had more options out of Detroit! I’m so glad that they are flying to more places in Europe. I can’t wait to see where they are going to next over there. I am hoping the merger with spirit goes through.
They did seem pretty good from my experience. They are starting flights to flight to EDI in my home country of Scotland so will definitely be using them more myself.
@@WorldWide_Dom Yeah, I saw that a few weeks ago! I’m excited! I’m waiting to see where they are going next. I just booked a flight with them out of Boston to Dublin in March. You can get them for under $500 USD on sale
You can leave at the same time and arrive earlier because the taxing time from the gate to takeoff could have changed. BOS and all the NYC airports are famous for having long taxing times until takeoff.
JetBlue (B6) has had a bad few months with cancelled and/or delayed flights. My brother flew to PDX from JFK and arrived 2 hours late a few days ago.
Ah yes I forgot about the taxing waits, securing an earlier slot could certainly explain the 30 minutes expected early arrival.
Sorry to hear that. Has there been any explanation for you & your brother’s delays thus far?
@@WorldWide_Dom He told me that it was due to a lack of crew to work the flight. But B6 has been having this problem for months and I am sure it is not all due to the lack of crews. It happens too often just for one reason. Someone is not doing their job correctly. Famous Americans on TV have denounced the airline and they have said that they will never fly JetBlue again.
Oh Dom I hope you aren't moving across to the dark world of priority lounges and whatever lies beyond. It could be the top of a slippery slope. At least you lauded it for all it offered rather than nit picked the quality of everything and anything (in a most pretentious manner if you really want to get it right). I've used Jet Blue a few times as Aer Lingus have an affiliation. It works perfectly with the USA customs and immigration clearance at Dublin airport and you simply hop on a Jet Blue flight the minute you arrive on what is in effect, an internal USA flight. It means the whole of the Ireland is linked to an ever increasing number of North American destinations. Can't praise them highly enough.
Haha no sadly I don’t have full priority pass membership. This was a once a year freebie 🤣 I only really opt for lounges when it either is way to full to find something else or it’s included with a ticket. On this case it was the former. 😅 the only thing I had to complain about in the lounge was spilling my first coffee down my arm (totally my fault though and quite sore) 🤣 don’t worry I’m still very much on the light side! 😁 I hear JetBlue are adding Edinburgh and Dublin to their route network this year. So should be good competition for the legacy carriers along with Norse.
@@WorldWide_Dom I think Jet Blue will give them a run for their money!
Here is hoping but from what i can see, they are only costing the flights about the same as the other carriers, they will need to offer something extra or lower the price to temp people away from the likes of British airways.
Very glad that I chose to try JetBlue for the first time for my upcoming transcontinental flight from Sacramento to JFK. Thanks for giving me a taste of what to expect Dom 👍🏻😎
Hope you enjoy it! No problem its my pleasure, i had a few problems on this flight but nothing that over shadowed the main product which is a good one! Definitely a good airline in the US.
That Chase lounge looked pretty good I wonder if they let Brit Chase card holders in ? How was Portland it seems to have huge crime problems ?
Portland was fine I didn’t have any issues.
bro how u can afford always traveling :)
Mainly a ton of research to find the best priced deals & making myself super flexible with my time.
Jetblue sucks, FYI I live near Boston, the flight attendants are unfriendly, their Embraer aircrafts have 20 year old interiors, and the never run on time. Avoid them like the plague.
Sorry you had such a bad experience with them. I must admit this was my first time flying with them & the flight attendance seemed Pleasant on this flight. I know they are replacing the Embraers with A220's so that should improve things.
@@WorldWide_Dom I will say on transcontinental flight airlines tend to display their best, and I'm glad your experience was good. Flying them through JFK is an absolute nightmare their terminal is way to overcrowded and the corridors are small and crowded.
