Pros: Mapquest live satellite location of plane on maps, along with altitude and speed.
Cons: Limited leg room.
The Bottom Line: A great way to fly, even with limited leg room. A live map of where you are, fun snacks, individual headphones/pillows/blankets, and TV are wonderful!

| angelblver's Full Review: JetBlue Airways |
My husband and I along with our two children recently flew Jetblue. We went non stop from Oakland, Ca to JFK, NY. I was impressed from the start. They handed out headphones as we boarded for our own individual TV viewing. As we waited to take off in Oakland, the song "New York, New York" was playing over the intercom for a fun reminder of our destination. The snacks were cleverly designed, especially the blue foil pack complete with cheese and crackers, a plastic spreading knife, granola bar and tootsie roll. (Almost a full course meal!) The best part of the whole deal though was the satellite TV. Along with various channels available, the live map channel showed me where we were at all times, along with our altitude and speed. I could actually tell my daughter, "Hey that's the Mississippi River down there!" It also seemed to make the six hour flight go faster, being able to see where we were heading and what state we were over. No limbo, or guessing at this or that. I actually tracked our flight path for myself! As we left JFK and returned home later in the week, the curbside check in was wonderful. We were exhausted and the Jetblue man just walked right up to us, asked us for our ID and returned with our bag tags, tickets and a cart. He loaded our luggage and tagged it for us and sent us on our way in less than 7 minutes. Awesome! The other thing I was impressed with on both flights was the way in which the pilots kept us informed. They told us when it would be bumpy and when it was expected to clear. They kept alot of communication with the passengers which helped my flight anxiety. The only complaint I had was the small leg room space, but the TV seemed to make that not so bad. All in all a wonderful experience!
