The Incredible Rise Of JetBlue: How & Why The Airline Is Winning

[@LongHaulbySimpleFlying]

Hey everyone! We listened to all of your feedback, and Long Haul by Simple Flying is back, with the same voiceover that you know and love! Thanks to everyone for their continued support in Simple Flying, and goodbye Takeoff! With love, the Simple Flying team!

I flew JetBlue just twice with red-eye flight from SFO to IAD and back in 2005. The best part was the cabin crew playing UNO game in the rear gallery while many passengers slept. They let me join them and let me be the "honorary cabin crew" for a few hours. While we played the game, I pulled the snacks and drinks out of serving carts and gave them to the passengers who requested them. It was so much fun and helped pass the time quickly!

[@dominickkrahnstoever7362]

That's awesome. There is something amazing about the fact that the cabin crew were playing uno in the back. In addition the fact that they let you join them is super awesome. Passengers probably thought it was weird when another passenger brought them their snacks. :)

[@cco53587]

JetBlue crews seem to have real high morale and deliver some pretty excellent service. I got an extra drink on one flight where I was wearing a JetBlue t-shirt. :)

I can't say enough about how much I love JetBlue. The amazing people are the most important part of this company. I'm not a huge fan of flying but the TV's and small planes make flying easier. I have been so spoiled flying JetBlue. When I had to fly Delta from Cody, WY to Salt Lake City, I boarded that old, tired plane and it mad me a JetBlue fan even more...if that's possible.

[@ScreaminEmu]

Sounds like you were on Delta Connection; probably a dumpy old Skywest regional jet. Delta’s got a great product too, just like jetBlue, but some of those little markets get run down regional jets operated by partners that don’t do the brand justice.

[@javiergomez1207]

My JetBlue experience has been great, flown many times from JFK to Gye Ecuador, love the wifi that actually works, and decent legroom on the 321neo.

[@johanjames4663]

[@colinw7205]

As a New Yorker we consider JetBlue "our hometown airline' . Their route structure is set up to serve destinations that we New Yorkers frequently fly to like Florida, major west coast cities and the Caribbean. David Neeleman is a genius he knew that New York, the largest city and metropolitan area in the US wasn't served by Southwest at the time, other than small out of the way Islip Airport on eastern Long Island. And the low cost wannabes set up by the legacy majors aren't cutting it . So he launched a Southwest for New Yorkers out of the horrible but then way underused JFK with a few little extras.

[@Patrick61804]

As a Bostonian, it is the same here

[@TheExoplanetTVOfficial]

As a New Yorkerite (as in a citizen of New York city) I can say that too

[@ryankennedy6922]

Yeah I’ve def noticed. I’m a west coaster myself and love to fly jet blue when I go to the east coast but I can never find any good flights between the west coast destinations and the south. For that I have to fly southwest but I do love JetBlue

[@ElizabethOrtiz-vf8fc]

I had flown in JetBlue twice on my trips to Puerto Rico. I flew in an A320 & A321. Their service is really great. The flight attendants were very helpful & courteous. It's one of my favorite airlines. I hope to fly again with JetBlue again.

[@Curtis10424]

Another great video Simple flying! I work for one of the top Asian carriers and before that worked in Canada struggling as a young pilot while my wife is a Flight attendant with a Canadian outfit. Hands down JetBlue takes care of passengers as one of their own. We’ve flown on Standby lots even with a baby on JetBlue and did they ever take care of us. We got upgraded twice to the front of the plane, round trip from JFK to Jamaica, so we had more room and made life much easier to get on and off the plane. Before that we flew with JetBlue to St. Lucia from Seattle. I flew on confirm tickets while my wife flew standby. She ended up getting premium and I got stuck on the back. The crew found out we sat separately and offered me a upgrade so we can be together. While in JFK we didn’t make the last flight of the day to St. Lucia and spent the night in the terminal. Ground crew found out and gave us cots to lay on until early next morning. Amazing company culture that has not been seen by any other airline. I write this while in Cancun, having flown standby with two boys on Westjet the day before. I came across this JetBlue video and read the comments from other passengers and felt compelled to give our experience. The Blue hospitality was night and day compared to the home grown Green , or Teal for the Canadians in the industry. Keep up the great work JetBlue family.

[@johnwinter2366]

If JetBlue are coming to the UK I would love to see them do MAN to JFK now that we've lost Thomas Cook. I flew by JetBlue A321 on overnight flight Oakland to JFK two years ago - friendly crew, great value ($129 !) and the most hassle-free flight I've had - would definitely use them again.

[@axsonm6256]

I have flown Jet Blue 2 times in the past 5 years. What an amazing airline. I think if more people knew how great they were more people would fly them. I was super impressed with everything - love this airline alot!! I hope to be on more routes where I can fly them more often!

Great video! And I love that you brought back the "Long Haul" name, it's so fitting! JetBlue seems like the "Target" of U.S. airlines while Delta, American and United are basically Macy's or Costco, and Southwest is the "Walmart" of the sky.

[@colinw7205]

I wouldn't sully Costco's brand and rep with that of the US legacy carriers. Delta is somewhat ok sometimes but American and United are crap most of the time.

[@chrisg.6289]

Before the pandemic we took a Jet Blue flight and were blown away by the space and quality they provide compared to Southwest and American. We have decided to only fly Jet Blue whenever possible. The other airlines need to make BIG changes to their service models to compete with Jet Blue and get our business back.

[@jakehowie442]

Really interesting video, it just shows JetBlue is a ground breaking airline with many firsts in the US airline industry, like free live satellite TV and Wi-Fi, as well as transatlantic flying on narrow body aircrafts The JetBlue brand is strong and so is their product. If it gets is routes right it will take customers off United and American, not so much delta as they have higher fares, Southwest southern friendly airline with a different hybrid product, and southern to northern routes JetBlue is probably best value for money product in the US and I haven’t even flown with them

[@Sacto1654]

I expect JetBlue to replace their A320 fleet with A320neo's during the 2020's, with two good reasons: 1) lower fuel burn and 2) the much quieter engines makes it possible to operate longer hours out of noise-sensitive airports in California.

[@David..]

JetBlue just has a fantastic product and customer service. I don’t get to fly them very often now that I live outside of the tri-state area but their E-190 economy has to be one of the absolute best regional economy products in the world. Remember the difference on a BUF-JFK/LGA trip, flew down in a US Air Dash 8 -100 and flew back in a new E-190.

[@bwithrow011]

I flew jetBlue from New York to Florida when they were just starting. I was impressed. Great flight and great flight attendedents plus leather seats
