Could you rent a car? What about showing up at a hotel (are you going to pay an extra night for 2 hours of sleep -- and it's probably not even possible to check in at a smaller hotel). Anyone want to make friends or family pick them up at that time? It's just crazy. It's stetches utilization to the point of absurdity.
BTW, CO has a competing flight that leaves EWR at 6 pm and arrives shortly before 11 pm. The fare's usually the same. CO's return flight leaves after 9 am, while JetBlue's is at 6 sharp.
Me thinks JetBlue is probably losing money there.
That is nice for Continental. However, if Jetblue can make money on a flight that arrives at 3:30, more power to them. They have had that flight for a long while, at times increasing to two flights, and they are expanding Aguadilla to Orlando. I have heard that their Puerto Rico flights are some of their most popular flights.
You don't have to fly on Jetblue. That is why there are choices.
