The press release contains the normal disclaimer:
Nassau not listed, so I would assume it's not a problem - as it shouldn't be, given the proximity.
Two other items of note:
(1) Song announced the same service the very next day - to their peril, I would expect, although you never know.
(2) Comment from Neeleman: "David Neeleman, said in an interview that the delivery next year of Embraer's mid-sized E190 jets will give the carrier more flexibility to add flights to destinations such as Bermuda, Canada or Mexico."
I guess with all those new planes coming, he's going to have to broaden the range of possible destinations by a large amount.
DIRECTV(r) service is not available on flights between New York City and Puerto Rico or the Dominican Republic.

Second, jetblue took a great shot at song. Song was very quiet on the publicity of NAS. The only way i knew about it was because of another forum. Jetblue announced it in the morning, while song announced it in the afternoon. They don't look as good by doing that. I don't know about you but I can't stand Song, or as i call them, jetdelta.

[QUOTE=prhs1989]First off, they are not only going to use the E-190 on international flights. They could use them on routes that already exist. (I couldn't understand if you were only saying international flights.)
It's time they had a decent low fare carrier from New York to Montreal and Toronto. The fares are very high; often $300 R/T. The only low fare carrier is CANJET. I would never go on them. Their 737s are about 30 years old and they only have 1 daily flight from New York to Montreal.

The fare on SONG from JFK to Nassau is $320; not such a bargain in my opinion. I wonder what JetBlues will be.

Although Jetsgo has pretty good (and inexpensive) service between Newark and Toronto. www.jetsgo.com
