New Amazon Prime partnership
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/amazon...130144713.html
NEW YORK (AP) -- Amazon wants to give JetBlue passengers a new option for tuning out that crying baby or talkative seat neighbor.
The e-commerce company will let members of Amazon's $99 annual loyalty program Prime stream its instant video service for free on their Wi-Fi enabled devices via JetBlue's inflight Wi-Fi service. JetBlue is the only U.S. airline to offer free Wi-Fi on its planes.

Clarification: ALL streaming will be included in the new plan, not just Amazon Prime. Amazon gets top billing in the Fly-Fi portal and pax can earn TB points for purchases but all streaming will be free thanks to the financial partnership between Amazon & JetBlue.

I know this thread is a bit crusty, but I've been flying almost exclusively on FlyFi-less E190s since the service was announced. I'm flying BOS-LAS tomorrow evening on a 320 and intend to use my Amazon Prime access to catch up on a few series. How well does the service work?
Thanks.
Thanks.
