I asked one of the crew if they’d get the pilot to tell me if a plane was coming the other direction on my side as I needed a shot of that but alas, it was not possible
For sure, JetBlue has come a long way over the years. I feel it was like with anything else where they had to start out somewhere and the quality of service was not exactly "Gold Star" quality but as the company has evolved they have gotten progressively better as they learn their customers, find new markets, and develop different leadership philosophies. Glad to see you've have a good experience there with them, Kym. JetBlue has sure been an interesting thing to watch develop over the years here in the states--and now across the water, too. Good stuff as always.
Wow, I admit I watched this video with zero expectations (I don't know why), but your happiness is really catchy. I'm smiling and wanting to travel 😋 Great edit, fun video, and nice Ricciardo appearance. Thanks!
Many years ago, I had a couple of bad customer service experiences with Jet Blue, but they turned things around and now have some of the best customer service and it's my favorite domestic airline to fly on. I have to try that Mint experience sometime, though.
If I remember correctly, JetBlue used to be one of only two airlines in the US (Southwest being the other) to not charge for the first luggage, which was a big deal for domestic US flights, although I don’t believe that is the case anymore. Nevertheless JetBlue seems to always have the better reputation in the US along with Southwest, which is kind of helped by other airlines being trash. Good to see you make a stop at my somewhat local airport of JFK!
@perryhuang So true!!! American and United are the worst. Don't even mention Spirit! Could you imagine Kym flying Spirit Airlines. I would love to see that vlog
Kym, I recently flew Air Canada Signature from Toronto to LA on my way to COTA. I was extremely impressed that the plane used was the same for the trans Atlantic leg of the flight we took from the UK. For a ‘domestic’ flight it was great. I would highly recommend you try it in the near future!
Kym I love this video. Quite entertaining all the way from Vegas to Sao Paulo. Especially loved the trip to the loo. A great way to fill up some time on a 10-hour trip. Cheers mate.
8:30 if you cant find the card you can also look up the aircraft registration and get the information there. In the majority of countries civilian aircraft registrations are publically available online and can be easily searched. All you need is the tail number.
Great video kym my friend recommended me your channel I mainly watch moto gp content but I really like your content and how you photograph f1 and ppl involved 😀
I thought I saw DR as you were scooting down the isle. That would of been a lovely suprise for you, a couple of WA gents on the plane. Did you end up having a chat with him Kim? Cheers a fellow OZ
"Small bowls to keep people from overeating." This is the most un-American thing I've ever heard. 🙃🙂 Great to see Danny Ric. Here's hoping for a good race.
Do you think you could have scored an interview with Daniel during the flight, maybe talking about anything he wants? I bet he'd chitchat with you a little. He called you mate!
Be careful in Brazil - crime and covid. A Friend was there last week and came back infected. He had all his Jax including the latest one that does both variants.
Jet Blue has a biz class now ? Have flown them since their inaugural route from Dulles to Fort Lauderdale they offer good service for a low cost airline !
Ok from an American.... For those of y'all from Europe... Jet blue is similar to Ryan Air however that's closer to Spirit airlines. Both are discount carriers.... Kym travels well the experience will be far different if you choose to fly economy!
Given the miserable experience I had with them last month, the answer is a resounding NO! After paying for a premium aisle seat they put me in a middle seat even though that seat, and other premium seats, remained EMPTY! Their response to my complaint was they are not under any legal obligation to provide the upgrade seat I paid for. No remorse, no customer service, no sense of obligation, no recompense. Horrible company.

Good to see Danny Ric being the legend he is. Gonna be missing something next year for sure
7:05 a wild Daniel Ricciardo has been spotted
Seeing Daniel smiling after these tough races gives me inspiration to never give up
7:04 Daniel Ricciardo, on the same flight as you.
That was Danny Ric sitting on right side aisle of your flight!
And later at baggage pickup.
Time stamp please !

Greetings Kym. Long time fan of your media. I’m also a Captain at JetBlue and I’m glad you enjoyed your flight. Cheers!

As a travel blogger myself I must say these videos are the best out there, and its not even the main focus of the channel. Keep crushing it Kym!!
These travel videos are my most favourite of your videos tbh. Keep em coming Kym.
Will do

I think I saw Danny Ric on your plane twice!
Edit: lol, three times. Last one was obvious.

Lord, I had no idea any of that stuff existed! It's a wild world out there
Kym you just arrived in the best country in this world just enjoy it. Have fun.
Once again a great video of your travels. Looking forward to your GP coverage.

I saw you in the official F1 weekend warm up video talking to Nyck DeVries. 🎉
I love how you sniff out all the information that is usually not available to us mere mortals! Great video.
Many thanks
Always enjoy these type of videos. Thank you.
Nice relaxed video! Enjoy São Paulo!!
Great video kym my friend recommended me your channel I mainly watch moto gp content but I really like your content and how you photograph f1 and ppl involved 😀
Thank your friend for me pls
Always brilliant and informative 👏
Another great video Kym thank you.
I absolutely enjoy your travel videos… great great insight
I've watched dedicated travel channels. And they are still not as impressive or informative as you get right here.. Splendid stuff
I’m delighted to hear that
Excellent travel vlog 👌
That was an odd flight connection Kym. Flying north to NY to go south. Why? Thanks for the travel video!
Best option
@@KymIllman Have you noticed that someone is posing as you in these comments asking to text them directly? No doubt some sort of scam.
Thanks for sharing as usual!
My pleasure
New Travel Vid!!
I thought I saw DR as you were scooting down the isle. That would of been a lovely suprise for you, a couple of WA gents on the plane. Did you end up having a chat with him Kim?
Cheers a fellow OZ
I didn’t notice him until I saw the video when I was editing it in São Paulo
Great video again
Honesty question. How do you keep cell phone service when you're moving from country to country?
Man, you should do some sort of collaboration with Daniel in a video or a product, I would love to see it
7:04 and 10:34 I thought that I saw Danny Ric, but though nooo, right...Boy, was I wrong 🙈
Correct, you weren’t wrong
Do you keep all the welcome kits?
Danny Ric was already at 7:04 lol
Danny Ric!!! at 7:04
Was that Danny at minute 7:04??
Kym, I’m curious to know why you flew to JFK to get to São Paulo? No flights out of LAX?
Was danny Ric on the american airline flight
That must have been Danny ric at 7:04?
7:05 is Daniel Ricciardo on right side
Jet Blue is awesome, been flying with them a lot more the past few years. Them and Alaska Airlines are great, love your vids Kym!
Great to hear!
Are there any more drivers in danger of the race ban or do their points drop off more quickly the Gasley?
“Oh, gidday” LOL
07:05 is that Danny ric
It is
Probably a silly question, but haven't fly first class ever, do you get to keep the headphones?
Negative
@@KymIllman thanks for the answer! Great video as usual!
More water and anti noise headphones will help with jet lag
Danny Ric at 7:05 and 10:31
Jet Blue feels like it uses higher quality materials for the chairs too
Was DR3 on your flight ??
Danny Ric at minute 7:04 on the right
❤Danny Ric!❤
Daniel Ricciardo on the right at 7:03?
"Small bowls to keep people from overeating." This is the most un-American thing I've ever heard. 🙃🙂 Great to see Danny Ric. Here's hoping for a good race.
I have a question for you Kym. What country do you live?
Australia
Hope you slept well. x
Superbly
"Some gummy thing that apparently calms you.." Is that what I think it is?? LOL
Tell us what you think it is.
Rhymes with credible, takes you to higher heights, calms the spirit and muddies the mind all at the same time
Is Danny Ric on the 7:05?
Was that dani ric?
Living in South Africa with our currency exchange, we will never be able to travel overseas or go toa F1 but at least we are seeing it thru your eyes
Cheers.
7:04 Daniel
7:04 daniel recardo ????
7:05 Danny?
Yes
Bought stock in JetBlue.
BIG MISTAKE!!!!
Airlines are always risky investments
I hope I see at the Abu Dhabi 🏆
Do you think you could have scored an interview with Daniel during the flight, maybe talking about anything he wants? I bet he'd chitchat with you a little. He called you mate!
Didn’t know he was on the flight.
@@KymIllman we spotted him as you entered the flight! I guess you were busy shooting a video or something 🤣
Honey Badger at 7:04
Why is there an ashtray in the loo? Surely you can't have a smoke in there, can you?
you can't but as sometimes people decides to not follow the rules, it's still good to gave a place to throw it out as well...
7:05 ?
Hi Kym, Is that a gift card you gave to the cabin member at 5:40 ? What kind of gifts or gift cards do you recommend?
Definitely just a business card so they can find the video
Be careful in Brazil - crime and covid. A Friend was there last week and came back infected. He had all his Jax including the latest one that does both variants.
has anyone else been noticing the youtube stabalization?
I think Kym turned it on and imo, it looks better without.
What is YT stabilisation?
That is a tiny variety of bread. If you have ever been to a good German backery you will understand

Jet Blue has a biz class now ? Have flown them since their inaugural route from Dulles to Fort Lauderdale they offer good service for a low cost airline !
They were very impressive
They've had mint service for about 8 years.
Ok from an American.... For those of y'all from Europe... Jet blue is similar to Ryan Air however that's closer to Spirit airlines. Both are discount carriers.... Kym travels well the experience will be far different if you choose to fly economy!
I know you did not compare Spirit to Jet Blue 😂😂
@@Datdaniel90 flown on all mentioned above and honestly they are all just fractions better than the other
Jetblue IS the best airline!
JetBlue is great… but Alaska is better.
I flew them earlier this year and my jet blue flight eclipsed it by a mile
@@KymIllman after watching your video, I agree… Not really comparable.
For lights of comparable distance, where they don’t offer mint I would rather fly Alaska, but if they offer mint then, you’re right.
This is going to be nothing but star sightings and casual driving that will be boring AF to watch
It’s not. They were solid but have drastically declined in the last decade.
Given the miserable experience I had with them last month, the answer is a resounding NO! After paying for a premium aisle seat they put me in a middle seat even though that seat, and other premium seats, remained EMPTY! Their response to my complaint was they are not under any legal obligation to provide the upgrade seat I paid for. No remorse, no customer service, no sense of obligation, no recompense. Horrible company.
Jet blue is the absolute worst airlines in the US. I am based out of Boston, their home airport. Always something wrong with their fleets, delays.
Loved the Video Kym
Happy hunting in Brazil.
