JetBlue In Flight Entertainment - International Flights
Am a little bit confused on what I've read...am assuming I can ask her 
Am off to the Dominican Republic this week and it seems that JetBlue has eliminated the free headphones ($1 charge now). No problem, as I'll have my ipod with me. But am I reading correctly that Directv is not available on my JFK/POP flight? What about satellite radio?
Also, since it is a 4 hour flight and my ipod only plays 2 hours worth of video before the battery dies, is there a way to charge it during flight?
And it appears that PPV movies are offered for a fee of $5. Anybody know what the August movies are for intl. flights?
Thanks ^

Best place to ask this question!
The DirectTV will be available for a portion of your flight. However once you get outside the dish's range the DirecTV will go out. The XM radio will continue to work for the entire flight. Since we have switched out of our Fox contract and went with all of the studio's we decided to charge for these movies as well as the new contract is more expensive. So movies on these flights are $5 as well unfortunatly. But to answer your question the Radio will remain active and allow you to listen in.

Welcome to FT! Also, you will have two hours of Times On Air and Broadway channel combined (ch. 41). I watched today on my SXM-JFK flight, and it was great. XM worked fine too. Reading a book with ch. 13 in the background is nice as well. JetBlue Features, as mentioned, is there for 5 bucks.

We are flying to Aruba Friday for the second time with Jetblue.
Last year, they provided the movies for free after the Direct TV feed ended.
Do they not do this anymore?

I flew to Aruba in January and watched movies for Free each way...
I flew to Saint Martin in July and you had to pay for movies each way...
It was funny initially the flight attendant announced that the movies were complimentary, then she took it back and reminded everyone to pay the $5 soon to be able to watch the movie.

No, they don't. It changed when JetBlue decided to switch where they source the movies from, which was in the past couple months.

I called the 800 number to ask this over the weekend, the gal there couldn't find it out for me, neither could her manager. She gave me the number for the airports I was flying out of, I called and left a message at one, no reply back. So thanks for unwittingly answering my question.

So for now on our LGB-AUS leg I am buying KungFU Panda for my 5 and 3 year old to watch, and on the AUS-MCO leg, they have 2 hours of Spongebob to watch, which means minimal carry on entertainment for me to lug around. Now let's hope everything runs on time and we don't get directed elsewhere (JFK
). Now, if onyl I had the movie info for our Sept return flight, lol.
