Airline Review #2 - Jet Blue

So today I am reviewing Jet Blue. I have to say from the outset that this is my favourite airline to fly with. Here are the reasons why:

1) Comfortable leather seats and lots of legroom - generally they have more legroom than any other economy airline. One tip is to get a seat in the exit row or near the front of the plane, as they have more legroom than the seats at the back.

2) Free seat-back tv - lots of channels for free right in front of you, making long flights a lot less boring

3) Free snacks and drinks - one carrier that still gives out free drinks like coffee, tea, pop and a free snack. The snack isn't as good as Southwest though.

4) No fee for the first checked bag, and only $20 for the second

Also, the flight attendants have always been friendly on all my flights. I also have had few problems flying with them in terms of delays. I have only had 1 time where my luggage was not on the carousel when I came off a direct flight, but it got delivered to our hotel later that night. The customer service could have been a little better though. The only other con that I can think of is that generally they are more expensive than Southwest, though that appears to be changing since Southwest seems to be getting more expensive.

Overall score - 9/10
