ATL Expansion
Anybody seen any news on where the next JetBlue flights from ATL will be going? With some Google help all I am finding are the original news articles from roughly a year ago saying JFK/FLL/MCO would come in the fall of 2017 but nothing "official" from the airline.
I am one of the disgruntled ATL based fliers tired of DL manipulating prices because of no competition and was BEYOND excited to welcome back JetBlue to ATL and their expansion. No matter how much our local media and Clark Howard said the WN purchase of FL would be great for ATL I knew what is currently going on would happen. DL does not treat WN as a competitor like they did with FL and prices sky rocketed and service tanked in ATL because honestly DL didnt have to care anymore. (WN does not have 2 class service like B6 & FL do/did)
Anyways long winded rant about me tired of being used by DL, and excited for B6 to give DL a run for their money.

I think they're waiting to see how the summer goes, after the promotional fares cease to exist. It's crazy but their flights actually seem to be going out relatively empty. I love Delta but $450 rt to Boston is killing me.

I know B6 is expanding their mint product but I still wouldn't call them a two class airline like the legacy 3. I don't see a 2 class product becoming the new B6 strategy but rather reserved for the transcon and some international flights with a premium demand (hoping for some JFK-FLL-LIM/GRU/EZE with mint options to open up).
Though their economy product is the best domestic and EMS seats are a nice reasonably priced option.

It looks like they will be adding 2 flights per day to JFK and FLL plus one flight to MCO beginning March 8, 2018.
