is there a way to change your seat online anymore?

Yup - there's a link to it on the Manage Flights tab:

http://jetblue.com/trueblue/ManageFlightsLogin.aspx

hey thanks! i just "changed" my jetblue reservations....changed it to the same flight and with the "change fee" for 2 people i still got $40 credit!!!

You didn't have to pay the change fee - you could've called up jetBlue and they will reprice it for you. If it's lower, which in your case it was, they would credit you with the full amount. I'm not sure if it's still possible to do this, as you've already changed it online, but it's worth a try to see if they'll credit you the $50 in change fees.

i dont see hwo to change it. i went in and went throught the manage flight screen which brings me to the change screen. then if i hit continue it wants me to actually change my flight

There's a link on the right side of the page, before you log in, that will allow you to change your seat. Here's the direct link:

my seatmap just changed to the new config. currently im in 9. is that good or bad? Its right in front of the exit row and im curious to know if they recline as normal seats do.

dinosims, thanks for the link, i still dont see where it is on the site though, i must be blind!!

In the quarterly conf. call, David gave an update on the new 150-seat config:

-JetBlue did an indepth analysis and found this was the right thing to do. Even on a flight that would have sold 156 seats out of 156 seats (100% LF), it came down to them not being able to reach a figure attractive enough to actually keep those 6 seats on. As discussed, the reduction in overall weight, fuel savings, one less crewmember, etc. on the cost side all add up to nice savings over time...on the revenue side, the worst case is a break-even scenario.

-He stressed that new programs will be rolled out in the near future for higher paying customers. I'm thinking that most of these seats will be held for higher-paying customers and TrueBlue members/AMEX card holders. I don't see jetBlue charging more for these seats as an option in general...that would go against jetBlue's current and past philosophy. However, even if you're sitting in the back...34" is industry leading and nothing to complain about...heck, it's equal to some first class cabins!

-To date, 75 of the 95 A320 aircraft in the fleet have been retrofitted. The entire project is expected to be finished by mid-February, AHEAD OF SCHEDULE! I must say I was surprised to hear the quick progress...but it's great news!

-44% of jetBlue's seats will have the new 36" seat pitch. I'm not sure if this figure includes the E190...either way, the E190 is comfortable and has its 2x2 seating benefit with plenty of comfortable pitch. Also, keep in mind it is used mostly on shorter routes.

You're in a great seat...ALL seats on jetBlue reclined. I heard something a few months ago that the FAA implemented new exit row requirements, saying that the WINDOW SEAT ONLY will NOT recline at all. The middle and aisle will recline once over 10,000 ft. and the FA releases the lock. I'm not sure how true this is, maybe jetBlueFA can confirm.

I noticed a few things about the seat maps...

-my flights on 2/16 and 2/19 have 26 rows (old config)

-my flights on 3/2, 3/3, 3/9, 3/11 and April have 25 rows (new config)

-the numbers on the left of the maps are off by a row or 2...just a glitch, I'll write in to jetBlue's Speak Up section to let web people know to fix the issue

-not sure if it's a glitch or not, but rows 1-3 are no longer blocked for airport-only assignment and CAN BE pre-assigned

The FAA has changed the exit row requirements again. About the 5th time in as many weeks. The current rule is the window seat cannot recline at anytime. It has to remain locked. The other seats in the exit row or just in front now have full recline all the time. There are to be no recline switches anymore. I believe that all the aircraft are being refitted with this capibility as they go in for cabin modifications.

Thought so...but didn't know about the other seats being able to recline all the time now! Thanks for the clarification. One less job for the FA...not bad.

I don't want to get ahead of ourselves here, but I wonder what the possibility is of jetBlue removing the WINDOW seats in all exit rows now. It would be another 4 seats of the plane, so I'm not sure if that can really be justified after removing 6 seats.

There's one situation you can't fix online. My last flight it turned out they didn't have 2 seats together and, of course, that little bit on information is only provided after making the non-refundable reservation (so I didn't have the option to jump on the half empty America West flight for the same price. ). I sent an email to customer support and they gave me 2 seats together a few days later.
