Trying to find out what routes Jetblue runs with the 190, but the website doesn't offer aircraft type when searching for fare. Anyone have any way to check this? Thanks.

Check the flight status for the route(s) you are flying for today and yesterday, that should give you a pretty good guess as to what plane will be operating when you are flying.

Yes, checking the flight status for those flights definitely shows the equipment being used - E190 or A320. Also, they may list it on the time tables but I am not sure. I find that many flights using the E190 are a four digit flight nunmber starting with "1"...I might be wrong, but I know the majority of the E190 flights use that while A320 flights use any 1-3 digit flight number.

I agree with the comments above -- check the tracker if you're interested in a particular flight. I have personally flown in an E190 from Orlando to Boston (on a Saturday), even though OAG shows that as a 100% Airbus route.

FWIW, here are the routes with Embraer service in June's OAG:

AUS - BOS
AUS - JFK
BDA - JFK
BOS - AUS
BOS - IAD
BOS - JFK
BOS - NAS
BOS - RIC
BOS - TPA
IAD - BOS
JFK - AUS
JFK - BDA
JFK - BOS
JFK - RIC
NAS - BOS
RIC - BOS
RIC - JFK
TPA - BOS

When I flew BOS - IAD last month, they unloaded the plane from both the front and the back doors (front door through jetway, back door down steps onto ramp). Very cool since I was way in the back. :)

Not necessarily true as A320 flight's also have 4digit flight numbers. The only way to find out for sure is to call the 800-JETBLUE reservation's line & ask the Customer Service Agent on the other end.

The A320's also have 4digit flight numbers so trying to tell if it's A320 or E190 just from the flight's number will not distinguish the difference like some of the other airlines "commuter" flights. The only way to actually find out if it is is to call the 1-800 JETBLUE number press option 2 and ask the agent on the other end to give you the information :) .

I would think it would be in B6's interest to publish the aircraft type along with the flight numbers and times, I can't think of any real downsides to doing so. It's not like they want it to be a surpise, as you get a seat map after you purchase, and they're wasting time and money by having CSR's answer these types of questions for their pax.

Maybe we'll see a change in the months to come, who knows.
