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.

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

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 
Inflight entertainment was excellent and the snack options good. The blue chips are kinda weird.

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.
