JetBlue TrueBlue - las-lgb-slc-jfk

This builds on another thread about flight #92, but I wanted to start a new discussion for it because unlike me the other poster was trying to avoid this route, I'm trying to make it.


So I booked my LAS-JFK return via LGB with a connection in SLC (November 3rd)

However a month later Jet Blue sent me an e-mail that I would have to eliminate my SLC stopover. Why? I have no idea, but I agreed thinking that flight has been/or is being eliminated, but I'm checking online right now and it still exists.


So that being said, is it possible for me to go standby once I'm in LGB to still fly this route via SLC?


Instead of sitting in Long Beach for two hours? I'd rather be flying even if its out of the way.


Any suggestions?

PS. I know there's absolutely no reason to go this route, especially since I'm on my award ticket and could have easily flown direct LAS-JFK, but since I've never been to LGB and SLC I figured why not check it out and kill some time at an end of a vacation.

You agreed to the change, so your options are somewhat limited. You might get an agent to let you do the crazy routing as a standby, but generally that isn't something that they like to do.

trying to justify how I'd go about doing this... would have to come out of the gate area and talk to the folks at the counter.

if they don't let me go on the SLC flight, I'll still need some sort of a boarding pass to get on the connection to JFK from LGB... and have to go thru security again.
