Jet BLEU have the best EXCELLENT FLIGHT to Lima PERU love it short economic flight AND DIRECT AWESOME yessss

[@hdaviator9181]

jetBlue is arguably the best domestic carrier in the U.S. IMHO.

[@jbar_85]

HDaviator I agree!

[@colemadonna6284]

I agree in terms of service but I’ve haven’t had a single flight with them (and I’ve flown them 5 times) that wasn’t delayed at least an hour, and three of those were over two hours. It’s frustrating.

[@hsbvt]

@@colemadonna6284 Out of curiosity...were those delays out of JFK or because of JFK? I ask because my husband used to work for jetBlue for 11 years. Fantastic company, anyway a lot of the delays we had were due to issues in JFK. Weather, backups on the runways, stuff like that. He said it time and time again..."Fly around JFK!!" Especially at night when the 'Heavies' were coming in from overseas and had priority landing causing delays. We'd join the 'conga line' of airlines trying to get to take-off, but alas would have a delay of 45 minutes and longer if there was weather in the area. But having the perks of flying standby was great so a little delay was okay we'd get there eventually. My husband is now a general manager at a local general aviation airport but when we fly we go jetBlue and people still know us. It's like a family reunion every time we fly. It's awesome. But I do get your frustration about the delays. That's why I was wondering if it was JFK. Take care!

[@colemadonna6284]

@@hsbvt Yeah, one early morning flight MCO-JFK that was a maintenance related delay. All others have been between MCO-PVD. JetBlue cited weather reasons for most of them but other airlines were just fine. Same thing happened to my parents. They almost got stranded in Cancun when JetBlue canceled their flight to PVD for winter weather. Luckily the weather had no effect on Delta's operations and Delta was able to get them home on the same day.

[@MichaelD8393]

I'd rather *pay* for an economy ticket on JetBlue than fly first class on any other airline for *free!*

[@josephkrol8330]

JetBlue is awesome! Nice people, free wifi, snacks, music, and TV! That's only in Economy, too!

[@Koopzilla24]

I flew from Tampa to Logan for $84 on JetBlue and everything about the flight was great

[@dropnikappleflower]

This comment aged well.

[@tomthom2876]

I flew this route on JetBlue about a year ago. My first flight on this airline. Mint is a great product. Seat was very comfortable, food and drink couldn’t be beat, and service was exceptional. Can’t say enough positive things about this airline

[@c.k.1252]

JetBlue is not "no frills" airline. It's a low cost carrier, yes, but they do offer free snacks and beverages. Spirit and Frontier are "no frills" airlines. So is Allegiant. Southwest and jetBlue are low-cost carriers. Honestly, they offer more to their customers than the legacy carriers do in economy these days.

[@c.k.1252]

That's the standard domestic service here in the US. In Europe, you are flying internationally with almost every flight, so the service levels are different. Also, NO domestic carrier offers free alcohol. Not in the US and not in Europe. Only on select international flights. Southwest and jetBlue are not premium carriers. They are low cost carriers. They offer frills, but not the same amount. To call them no-frills would be an incorrect statement. That's all I'm saying.

[@Paul_Lucas]

Perhaps there's a semantic point - "no frills" is used interchangeably in the UK to mean "low cost", though I take your point Chris, in that there are some frills - in fact, more so than some legacy EU carriers on flights of the same length. From a frequent flyer perspective JetBlue lacks a few main frills, in poorer codeshare arrangements, no lounge access and it isn't a member of an alliance. The lines between "low cost" and legacy are so blurred now.

[@c.k.1252]

Oh you're absolutely right! They are definitely lacking. I will say, though I am a frequent flyer with AA, I used to be a FA in a previous life for 17 years, and jetBlue has developed airline "partnerships". I'm not sure if there are code shares in there, I think there are. I know Hawaiian Airlines, and Aer Lingus are partners now with jetBlue. I think Cape Air also connects their passengers to some island destinations both in New England and the Caribbean.

[@c.k.1252]

I've served Filet Mignon on 30 minute flights as well, but I assure you you don't see a service like that anywhere now a days. You might get a hot meal, maybe on linen, but it's not to the quality it used to be. I spent many years working First Class Galley on the 747-400 from New York to Hong Kong, so I know nice service! Champagne, caviar, etc.

[@brianaviation3072]

you mean passengers

[@ragidyymann5109]

pro-tip: avoid flying in the afternoon in Florida (between 12 pm and 6 pm - especially in the summer). There will almost always be delays - thunderstorms the likes of which people hardly if ever see. Really enjoyed this! Thanks for sharing!

[@joermnyc]

I was like 5 years old the last time I was in Florida, and I still remember at 3pm like clockwork it just poured down with rain for a little while... and then the sun came out and everyone just shrugged and went back out to the hotel pool.

[@loljewlol]

@@joermnyc went to the mall in a sunny day, cloud immediately come rolling in and a blanket of rain just shower it, and than the cloud disparate and went back to sunny.

[@mirzaahmed6589]

I wouldn't describe JetBlue as a no-frills carrier. No-frills carriers never have live TV, IFE, WiFi, free drinks and snacks, etc.

[@cgen1002]

so true he sounds dumb saying that and free checked bags, if anything its the most inclusive airline

[@Unbrickme]

@@cgen1002 honestly jet blue mint is much better than delta, united, or American Airlines first class for domestic flights

[@katal003]

JetBlue is 100% not a no-frills carrier. They have free WiFi, free live TV, free food and drink, etc. The tickets are just slightly cheaper than something like Delta or United. The only real no-frills airlines are Fronteir and Sp*rit. JetBlue and Southwest (which is like JetBlue for the south) are honestly my favorite airlines in the US.

[@NatedamanYT]

Honestly Jetblue and southwest are amazing. Both are better then United American and Delta

[@triple7marc]

I love how you censored Spirit LMAO

[@brendo7289]

would you call them "all-frills no shits"?

[@emartinez2740]

Don’t forget Alaska in the west :)

[@dingdongditch1000]

“There is some bad weather around the airport...” Me: “Welcome to Florida!”

[@DelosJohnson]

Way back in the mid-1990's, I was a frequent FLL/LAX first class flyer on Delta. I have to say, I never had a flight like the one you had on Jet Blue. Amazing!

[@TarHeelBrit]

@ 4:59 that's the best bit of the whole flight. You're at the end of the runway and the pilot cycles the engines up and off you go.

[@daworldizmyn3617]

The best $760 I've ever spent... from JFK to LAX.... 2 👍's up

[@TREBOR347]

DaWorld IzMyn totally agree! LAX to BOS in Mint for around $620 was amazing!

[@leflores91]

I flew on JetBlue Economy, from JFK to FLL (round trip), last year. It was a wonderful trip. The agents and crew are really. My go-to for future trips.

[@avioncamper]

I believe from watching other videos, Jet Blue would be a lot better than Ryan Air or Easy Jet in Europe. In the US: Jet Blue, Virgin America, Hawaiian and Alaska Airlines have good reputations.

[@Kiran______]

avioncamper Hawaiian is not really considered a ”budget” airline, so in my opinion, it isn’t comparable to Virgin Alaska or jetBlue, nor is it comparable to your UK airlines Ryanair and EasyJet.

great review, and a great product. not heard a bad word about Jetblue's business class, and I was surprised they ventured into that market. another thing....no business lounge? what do all those Emirates premium passengers do before their flight ?? thanks Paul

[@chrisholland3927]

You showed a take off in real time! Yeah! I love you Paul!!!!

[@TopiHeikkinen]

That might be the best single aisle top class seat I've ever seen, although FlyDubai's 737's are good contestants as well. Maybe the presentation of the food is not quite in propotion to the seat, but I guess the American laid back style of cuisine comes a cross there as well. Fantastic video as always!

[@michaelprice7199]

what i love about jetblue the most is their customer service experience. hopefully when i save the money, i will be able to fly in mint business class. its a wonderful product to make a long story short.

I’ve flown in JetBlue Mint when the service first came out a few years ago (SFO-JFK), it was a wonderful flight. The food tastes as good as it looks and the flight attendant made sure I had a drink the entire flight except for when I was sleeping. The lay flat seats were comfortable enough to sleep on well.

[@ZuhairFarouk]

Another brilliant trip report! i was fully engaged throughout! Love how there is sliding door making it a fully private suite. Wonder how this compares to AA's A321 transcon product featuring first and business class. For a LCC, this product exceeds those from other major carriers!

[@Paul_Lucas]

+Zuhair Farouk I've been on the transcon A321 in First (though it was a shuttle flight SFO-LAX). I prefer the JetBlue seat and service concept to be honest, though with AA you get Flagship lounge access which isn't bad at all. AA is much more expensive though!

[@jg-7780]

If you ever wind up back in southern Florida, could you do a review of Brightline/Virginrail USA? They currently run a higher speed (by North American Standards) service from Miami-Ft. Lauderdale-West Palm beach with an Orlando extension under construction. They’re mainly noteworthy as they’re the only completely private non-touristy intercity rail service in the U.S. I’d love to hear your thoughts on them!

[@divox9pqr]

Thanks Paul for this report on Jet Blue. Not being a flyer(mostly trains), I had never heard of them. Now, with your report I am going to return to the air. The meal looked delicious, and I was surprised that an airline still even served a meal on such a short flight here in the U.S.

Minor pedantry: FLL does have lounges in Terminals 1&2, just not in terminal 3-4(which are now connected into one big terminal). Which is especially irritating because that's where most (all?) of the international flights leave from. There aren't even any good restaurants in 3-4. I always hate it when I fly on Emirates or Norwegian because I end up just sitting in the corner for a couple of hours.

FLL isn’t that bad and they’re going to upgrade the terminals to connect all of them so you can visit all the bars and restaurants without leaving and having to Go through security.
