AA plat just booked Jet Blue ORD-SJU
I couldn't believe the price $268 RT direct flights over spring break 2014... with the perk bigger seats... Will we really get AA miles on these flights? AA still competes in this market- just wondering.

Thanks for your reply and the info- I guess we will become true blue members then... I'm usually reluctant to try smaller carriers and purchased the tickets impulsively. AA's "partnership" with Jet Blue when fare differentials are 75% plus in competing markets. We're loyal to AA but not that loyal... Any AA fliers with jet blue perspectives?

You can see which flights earn RDM here. It's only select flights ex-BOS and ex-JFK, unfortunately.
"AAdvantage miles will be earned only on the listed markets and will be awarded on any itinerary that includes these markets, whether the flight is used alone or in conjunction with any other connecting flights." |

In the last couple of years, I've taken several JetBlue flights on the BOS-BWI and BOS-DCA routes and received mileage on AA each time. While the flights are short, service is good and some JetBlue policies (one free checked bag; free change to immediately preceding flight to same destination if space is available) are attractive to me. It wouldn't surprise me, though, if their agreement with AA changed after the AA/US merger goes through.

Have taken two Jet Blue round trips. The first time they lost my luggage -- for a month. The second time the TSA checkpoint at JFK was a total cluster**** (TSA's fault, but it was the dedicated JB terminal). Flights were comfortable, though, better than coach on AA.

I even like them better than first on AA. I've been doing a fair amount of JFK-NAS trips, and even as an EXP I've been choosing the B6 nonstop flights over AA with a connection with the possibility of an upgrade to first. A very pleasant flying experience. Don't even care that I'm not getting any miles for it.

Try B6 (and VX), you might like them! A lot! |

B6 hands down better than AA. More legroom, free snacks and drinks and IFE. Only negative is lack of Pre✓ but that should be coming to B6 in 2013.
|
Status isn't so important if the hard product is good and the airline treats everyone well. But once you fly to a market not served by B6, loyalty, er, has its rewards.
