The experience of flying with JetBlue
before starting, I share the official Flight Report on the YouTube channel, how safe to findán aún más informative:
In case you don't knowían, one of the más important aerolídaughters of USA fly in Ecuador from the 25 February 2016, start dateó their flights to Quito with a daily flight and has since grown in the país flying to Guayaquil spaghettién since Fort Lauderdale and New York.
Hoy, with 28 weekly frequencies to our countryís, the airínea is the second airínea northamericana en núgroup of frequencies operated on Ecuador, so its importance for connectivity and tourism has become key.
In this context, today we are going to review cómo is the «JetBlue Experience» so that all of you can know these and más details of the aerolínea. we started…
JetBlue it's an aerosolíAmerican semi-low-cost company based in New York. During my recent flight with JetBlue, I was able to experience their snack service on board, know your políethics and cost of luggage, así as wellén try Even More Space seating and the appón mówill.
We officially start the report talking about check-in at the Quito Airport. the airínea has its check-in counters in Zone B of the terminal, where in case you travel with a hold suitcase, dutyácome closer to deliver it.
Since we are talking about Baggage, the airínea has políticas máFlexible bags for carry-on and checked baggage. Passengers can bring one piece of hand luggage (excepto tarifa Blue Basic) and a personal piece for free, as long as they comply with the measurements and weight allowed. For checked baggage, JetBlue charges a fee for each piece, with prices that varyíand según the destination and the season.
The first suitcase costs $35, the second $45, being allowed on flights to and from Ecuador a mámaximum of two suitcases per passenger.
After checking luggage, passed security and immigration filtersón me dirigí to Room A10, where will it come fromíto our first flight to Fort Lauderdale with an occupationón of the 90%.
Regarding the approach, this is done in groups, giving preference to Mosaic travelers, Mint the aeroplaneínew societies, así that in the departure lounge mustás be aware of the call to your group to findás on your boarding pass.
The first segment UIO-FLL was operated on the Airbus A320 N796JB with MSN5060, which has 11 años since his first flight on the airlineínea and is powered by IAE V2527-A5 engines. This first route lastedón of 3 hours and 43 minutes.
This time I was able to try two additional services offered by JetBlue with extra payment, How are the Even More Space seats?, that have más legroom and are located at the front of the cabin and emergency exits with up to 38″ Of space. These seats can be reserved for an additional fee., what varíthe assistantún the flight and durationón of the same. If you have a long flight and want to be más cóway, I recommend it.
This does not mean that othersáThe seats do not have good space, in fact JetBlue has one of the best pitches in the low cost segment with 32″ between seat.
JetBlue offers a variety of snacks and drinks on board at no additional cost in all fares. Options range from cookies, pretzel and even chifles that to my pleasant surprise, are made in Ecuador, así That was a great point.. Spaghettién soft drinks such as sodas, juices and water are offered.
These are the different options that I opted foré on flights:
Claro isá, there are más options, but these are paid as sandwiches, cheeses and alcoholic beveragesóface. The menú you can find it completely on the individual screen.
Now comes a great recommendationón, download and use the applicationón móJetBlue city that is fáeasy to use and offers a variety of functions útiles, such as the possibility of booking flights, check in, track flights and get real-time itinerary updates.
But this is not all, spaghettién generate email notifications about the status of your suitcases in the hold, indicátelling you if these were loaded on the flight you areás about to go out.
after landing, teníwe love a connectionón of exactly 1 hour and 30 minutes, but to my surprise, el proceso de migrationón was slow taking something más de 45 minutes of waiting, that adding to what there isíWhy take the suitcase and hand it over again for the connectionónational, he made me run, but it was a good time to take another advantage of Even More Space, What is the Priority security that in airports where this service is available, allows you to go through a preferential queue in security filters.
with this service, I arrived at the moment that the flight boarding began 2902 to new york, which was operated by the Airbus A320 with matrítank N809JB, MSN 5349, what's wrong with it 10 añsince its first flight and has the capacity to 162 passengers (fully booked flight) and it had a durationón of 2 hours and 22 minutes.
In case you don't knowían, JetBlue was the first airlineínew of USA to offer free high-speed Wi-Fi on all its flights, so it is a great advantage and plus that adds to the entertainment screens. This service is free and is very fáeasy to connect requiring only an advertising video and nothing moreás.
We must indicate something about the WiFi, although this is free, For now, its coverage is not on the entire route in the case of Ecuador and Peru.ú, but yesí couldás connect to the exact moment the flight crosses Panamá If you go north and otherwise the service ends on the return on this pathís.
all seats, At the bottom they also countén with plugsécitrus and alsoén with USB A port allowing you to keep your device charged for browsing or viewing your own content.
Usually, My flight experience with JetBlue was positive and its onboard snack options and Even More Space seats make flying with JetBlue be an optionón attractive to travelers and makes it an airlineínea «semi» low cost as I have described it.
