JetBlue's Economy looks incredible. JetBlue's newer cabins are certainly a step up from what came before, even if that was revolutionary at the time! Also, I could totally devour all of that cheese and crackers, looked so good! I also really love what JBU have done with the NEO, from the toilets to the pantry, it's just such a lovely, warm and inviting cabin with loads of those classic features! I totally think you should review their transatlantic ECO experience at some point, it looks pretty good and I think will definitely shake things up as they start more and more routes. Lovely video as always scott, I look forward to the next!

[@sanspotter]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, I’m really impressed with what they did with the Neo as well - an I am definitely going to try Jetblue transatlantic when travel restrictions start loosening up a bit. I can’t wait!

[@stevenlevinson9351]

I flew in September JetBlue from Washinton DC to San Diego, CA changing planes in Boston. Their economy class I really enjoyed; their entertainment system had up to date movies plus some older ones. I will definitely fly them again

[@RatatatMatt]

Travel demand is normally low after the holidays. I flew on Delta in January from BOS-ATL. Our flight was delayed and due to some intended missed connections at ATL and two other flight options to take on this route (if you were there early enough), we ended up flying with only like 40-50 pax. Not only did I get a whole row to myself, but I got the last 15 rows of an A321 to myself!

Having an entire section of an airplane to yourself is the best. 😄 I just wish it happened more often!

Now I’m going to watch your other videos.

[@JustMe-sn8kd]

The 2 things you asked about when you were getting in your seat: 1. The hand with the square and little waves next to it should be for a tap credit card transaction (like you find at stores where you tap your card chip and go). 2. This looks like MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) webbing. Initially designed for military use it has found its way into civilian life and is convenient to use if you have MOLLE gear to attach to it.

[@sanspotter]

Interesting, thank you! 😎👍🏻

Good review, thanks for the info. I’ll be flying from Dallas to Boston soon and this will be my first JetBlue experience. I usually fly Southwest, but JetBlue Blue (not basic, I need a carry-on) was much less expensive and nonstop flights both ways. Sadly I think I’m on the older A320 which I don’t know much about, I’ve only flown on Boeing aircraft as far as I know. Other than military. I guess the A320 are the old work horses, hopefully not too beat up. Nothing better than a row of seats by yourself! In the 80’s while in the Navy I flew from New York to Rome on a Pan Am 747 a few days after the Rome airport bombing, and that plane was maybe a third full. I had an entire section to myself.

I'll have to check out those other channels you mentioned and report back to see if they really do a better job reviewing...just hope they are sarcastic....cause what's life without some funny?
