With all of the news in the past month about knee defenders and the right to recline, it made me wonder about another sensitive topic- the overhead bin.
I have to admit that Kim and I check our luggage probably on 98% of our flights. For longer trips, especially when you’re traveling with a toddler, fitting all of a family of three’s things into a couple of carry-on bags just isn’t going to happen. Continue reading Who Owns the Overhead Bin Space
In my opinion, one of the best parts of flying with JetBlue isn’t the free DirecTV. What I’ve enjoyed from the airline the few times I’ve flown with them has been their complimentary snack offerings.
While on a JetBlue flight I find it appropriate to eat a tasty snack like Terra Blues Potato Chips. The last time we flew JetBlue Lucas most enjoyed the PopCorners Pop Chips.
But what’s an airline to do when they don’t use beverage/ food carts? Continue reading JetBlue’s New & Improved Way to Serve You
A jetBlue flight heading from New York (JFK) to Las Vegas had to be diverted due to an unruly passenger early Saturday morning.
I just heard about the incident in an e-mail from Gothamist which included a video from ABC News.
The flight took off at 6:20 AM and the passenger “lost it” around 90 minutes in. He was flying with family members and started yelling at everyone onboard. One passenger said the man woke up out of nowhere and started flipping out. Continue reading jetBlue Flight To Las Vegas Diverted Due To Unruly Dad
If you’ve been thinking of booking flights with jetBlue in early 2015, now you can. I just received an e-mail from the airline that they’ve extended their schedule!
While I’ve flown on many airlines, I’ve actually only flown with jetBlue five times.
Our most recent flight (to the Dominican Republic) was with them. Lucas enjoyed having his own IFE although the live programming cut out maybe an hour or so into the flight. Continue reading jetBlue Extends Schedule
I came across a very interesting article from the Huffington Post. According to the article, JetBlue seems to be a really helpful airline and really good for us, the consumer.
When JetBlue starts flying a domestic route, ticket prices on that route drop by 50% on average.
The information found for this research was compiled by travel research company Hopper. You can check out their findings about JetBlue impacting domestic routes here.

JetBlue created a fun holiday graphic which lists some facts about How We Fly This Holiday Season.
In the graphic JetBlue shares 6 facts with some pretty astounding numbers involved.
Below is the complete Holiday Facts graphic. It might be a bit hard to see in the post so I also included an individual graphic for each of the facts which will (hopefully) make it easier for you to read.
This year, the airlines have been extremely creative with their holiday videos, doing a great job of spreading the message of joy and giving.
The first video that I saw was Delta’s Awesome Happy Holidays Video. Next up was the truly amazing WestJet Christmas Miracle video which you can see along with a video by American Airlines Spreading the Holiday Cheer. Check out both of these videos HERE.
I didn’t expect to come across any other videos this close to the holiday until I received an e-mail from JetBlue.
The subject was: JetBlue Encourages Customers To #FlyItForward This Holiday Season!
Continue reading JetBlue’s Amazing Holiday Video: #FlyItForward
I just saw on Facebook that JetBlue’s schedule has been extended deep into 2014.
If you’re looking to book a flight with JetBlue, you can now book until September 2, 2014.
JetBlue is introducing its newest livery called “Blue Bravest” in New York today in support of the FDNY Foundation and giving away two domestic travel certificates as a prize.
The FDNY Foundation is the official not for profit of the FDNY, established to promote Fire Safety in New York City and the professional development , training and education of members of the FDNY.
At around 7:15 AM the Airbus A320 (featuring the special Blue Bravest livery) will be making “a NYC fly by along the West side of Manhattan”. By the time I am posting this, the fly by will most likely be over.
Last Thursday (October 10), Jetblue announced a way for families to earn award flights faster by combining their points with Family Pooling. Jetblue is the only airline in the U.S. to offer such an option but expects others to follow.
With Family Pooling an account is made up of up to 2 adults (age 21 and older) and up to 5 children (under the age of 21). Members in the pool can be family or friends which makes the program extremely flexible. Each member must contribute at least 10% of the points that they earn to the Family Pool once they join.
