The Airline industry officially has an ugly cousin...JetBlue. I have known this for a long time, but it's time to out this poor excuse for an airline once and for all. I have often taken the shuttle from Boston to JFK airport for its cheapness, but in all other aspects it sucks. I have NEVER been on a JetBlue flight that left ontime. In fact I still have nightmares about terminal 6.
Sure they have TV's on board, but they even manage to screw that up. On more than one occassion my TV was broke (it was stuck, with no sound on a promotions channel) Luckily the flight is only 40 minutes, but it gets old watching the same movie previews over and over and over again.
Recently the JFK terminal was switched and I will admit it is very nice. They have free WiFi everywhere and cool looking pods you can sit at and order food and stuff. But you have to ask yourself why? Why would an airline spend sooo much money for all these bells and whistles, for such a chic looking terminal? Because the truth of the matter is that they NEED their terminal to be state of the art and accommodating, so as your attention will be distracted from the fact your flight is two hours late.
You know those laws they have now where a plane can only keep passengers on the plane for a certain amount of hours before they MUST let them off? The reason--why JetBlue of course. Unfortunately, for my friend those laws came too late as she spent over 5 hours on the tarmac at JFK a couple of years ago, but at least her pain was not vain!
Moral of the story, it may be cheap, it may seem appealing to save a few bucks, but you will want to throw things, hit people, and scream your discontent.
They're marketing strategy can only boast point. You will be frustrated, you will be angry, you will be very very late, but you will get to your destination in one piece!
