Bump. Any updates on elite benefits now that Southwest has announced more elite benefits starting March 1?

I did have a JetViews survey the other day asking about lounges and priority security lines but at the JetBlue hubs those are generally less of an issue IME.

elite status
I haven't heard anything more beyond a typical "lot's more coming soon" from JetBlue. That said, I'm not so convinced that the current TB benefits are much worse than the "elite" benefits that RR2 will offer. The earning on TB2 seems generally higher and the bonuses pay out much better unless you are flying a ton of segments on very low fares. An elite program isn't going to make up the main shortfall that TB2 has versus RR2: partners.

With AA and B6 becoming closer, I'm sure any trasnferring pax would love the amenities that they would receive at AA. I'm specifically thinking about JFK in this instance. Any incoming pax would have to clear customs and reenter security at B6's terminal, elite security lines and a lounge would be nice amenities for elite pax.

I agree 100%. At this point B6 should have far more partners than it does. It really shows a poor marketing effort.

I suppose if the connection is long enough then lounge time wouldn't be so bad but I'm guessing the overall demand is relatively low.
