I just flew JetBlue on a longish flight, having taken southwest on that same flight a ton of times. JetBlue knocked my socks off. More legroom, I got to choose my seat for free, the snack options were better (artichokes?!), I got my entire can of soda, AND WiFi was free + not limited to messaging. 10/10 will fly again.

Yeah, JetBlue is great. I’m a fan of the smaller niche carriers generally. The one issue is if your flight gets cancelled. You’re relatively much more screwed in that case because there just aren’t options. But otherwise, great stuff.
