First Time On Jetblue
 

hi guys

am looking at flights between Orlando and San Juan

having not flown with Jetblue before is it worth the extra $25 each way for the extra leg room seats.

any other advice for this route?

thanks in advance

EML seats
 

Depends on how long the flight is . I find them worth it for the cross crounty flights but not worth it for shorter ones (unless the fare goes down and then you get a Jetblue credit ) .

You can always purchase onboard or at the gate, if your undecided now. It depends on the loads and when you planning to fly. I work alot of San Juan flights and if the load is light, there's always exrta seats available in the EML section. My advice? Wait until day of flying, ask about the availability when you check in or get to the gate. Enjoy your trip.

It's marginally more comfortable. You'll already be in a seat with 34" pitch (which is 2-3 inches more than a lot of domestic carriers), so the extra legroom might not make a difference to you at that point.

I'm 6'2", and for a flight that length, I'd rather find something else to blow 50 bucks on.

Agreed (though I'm a couple inches shorter). I do not think the EML is worth it for that flight.

If you're on the late flight to SJU eat dinner before you get to the airport. There is virtually nothing open around the time of that departure.

I recently flew B6 for the first time (BOS-MCO-BOS) on 10/24 (#433) and return 11/1 (#434). The first flight was not very comfortable sitting next to a VERY OVERWEIGHT person who should have bought TWO seats. After that flight, I vowed never to sit in that row again.
So on my return trip, I decided to splurge on an exit row for $25. I was very happy I did :) Very roomy indeed! Now I'm addicted :D
Inflight entertainment was excellent and the snack options good. The blue chips are kinda weird.

thanks for your replys so far a couple of further questions

if i go for the leg room seats is there a better chance of a seat empty next to me?

so the direct tv work on flights from orlando to san juan?

Wirelessly posted (BlackBerry9630/4.7.1.40 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/105)

You will only have TV for about 45-60 minutes of the MCO-SJU flight.

And you are more likely to have an empty since they charge for the seats, but if the plane is sold out they will fill them all, even if some folks don't pay for the extra legroom.

so when the tv dies is it music only?

No music either; both use the satellite. There is stored content movies available.
