Seriously, though, in my case, JetBlue had an opportunity to capture a customer with an act that wouldn't cost them anything. Instead, the nickel-and-diming that always put me off of airlines such as Southwest put me off of them as well!
This new weight restriction is a mistake.
Nickel and diming? Your friends at the legacy airlines charge greater overweight bag fees than at jetBlue where it is now only $20. While I enjoyed the 70 lb. limit, you might want to thoroughly search your email...I received the reminder and know many people who did as well.
I personally feel I get great value at jetBlue.
