Overall, it was not a bad experience. Free TV and WiFi, so I gladly ponied up $12 for a turkey sandwich that beat the pants off anything the legacy carriers offered. The landing sucked. We landed at BUR with a thud. Other than that, I will now consider JetBlue in the future. I guess in that sense, the promo was a success. As for bumping, I prolly would've done better on a heavier route like LAX, but I prefer a BUR arrival.
I would have kept 25 since they rear deplane! Anyway I'm glad it worked out for you. The runway is so short at BUR that if you don't land with a thud and stop, you're likely to go too far and either go around or end up across the street.
