I flew jetBlue this weekend on the spur of the moment BUF-JFK and back, for $209 on a walkup fare. Just felt like being in the City, and didn't feel like driving 7 hours. Being a spoiled United brat, I was a bit nervous about flying a startup that didn't even have a frequent flyer program... but I was very pleasantly surprised at my experience. Leather seats, brand new A320 aircraft, in seat video at every seat, with DirecTV (for which they waived the usual $5 charge on the short hops I was on), a snack and beverage even though our flight was only 50 minutes (hear that United Express???), and a ground and flight crew that were professional, courteous, and efficient. In short, one of the best coach class experiences I've had with any airline. Granted, right now about all they're good for to me is hopping into the City, but they seem to have grandiose plans ahead. We shall see...

Oh yeah, and Blue potato chips!
