Have you been on a plane before? If so, it won't be very different from what you remember (there's a seat belt, kind of like in your car, and there will be times when you're not allowed to get up, even if you really have to pee. Your ears might pop, and the little bag in the pocket in front of your seat is not a doggie bag for taking home any of the free snacks you can't finish).

You'll also enjoy great IFE - 36 channels of free live Direct TV, over 100 channels of free XM Radio, Times On Air channel, and 3 JetBlue features movie channels (although your flight distance may be too short for that).

just never on B6. I've heard nothing but good about B6 thus the reason for the question.

For all of the other great answers thank you very much. Now as for this post congradulations on the stupidest post I've read on Flyertalk. I've "only" worked for the airlines 30 years & have flown 1or 2 times in the past just never on B6. I've heard nothing but good about B6 thus the reason for the question.

Apology accepted. Like I said I've heard nothing but good about B6 & do to lack of time I'm not on this forum an awful lot. So just looking for replys from the people here who fly Jetblue alot.

As others have said: Better legroom, free TV, free snacks, and the downside is dealing with a route network that has a JFK hub and sometimes doesn't recover well after bad weather.

Flying jetblue
The planes are nice and the tv comes in handy when you are taxinging for 45 minutes. I hope you get a nice sunny day as JFK can be
when the weather is not nice .
PS. I think you are from USAIR and I would like to tell you I had a nice pair of flights on the A319 were nice and clean . Of cours the price was 1/2 of that on Delta and I avoided going thru ATL . Have not flown on USAIR in about 10 years but I would do it again.

BIG thanks JetBlue
CLT-JFK B6 1082 Su 12Jul 1hr 18min en-rte.
To JetBlue a great big THANKS for a great trip yesterday. I think I have a new favorite airline^ Flt was on time. Everyone was very friendly. Clean airplane & to me the best was the in-flight entertainment & the Dunkin Doughnuts coffee along with the chocolate chip cookies.
I can't iminage anyone using anyone else on this route unless you have no choice as was me on return. Again thanks all^
