I heart Jet Blue

"...they had me at free wi-fi." LOL!
It has been a crazy crazy week! I have been to four different states, been towed and almost a casualty of road rage. I have lots of stories to tell so stay tuned.

First I wanted to talk about my very first jet blue experience. I was flying from JFK to New Orleans. I have to say that I was pretty impressed by the budget carrier. First thing when I got to the terminal in JFK they had this large area where about twenty or more people could plug in their laptops AND they had free wireless internet access. How cool is that?! In most airports I have been to you have to scope out the two or three outlets and find a way to position yourself near one of them.

The computer area/bench also can double up as a flat sleeping area, which comes in handy at 4:30am (as evidenced by one of my fellow travelers who was all curled up on the computer bench- ha ha).
The inside of the plane was also a good experience. The flight attendents and pilots were all very nice. They advertise the "most leg room in coach." While leg room has never been a major issue for me at 5'6", I was definitely able to notice having more space. They actually had a fun variety of snacks from healthy to yummy. My favorite part was that I got to watch CABLE TV!!!!!!

They have direct TV on board. Now I love cable TV but refuse to pay for it. It would only help feed my procratination habit. Besides I could get two mani/pedicures for the cost of one month's cable bill. These are the choices I have to make to be a "baller on a budget." Anyway I had so much fun catchy up on some of my guilty cable pleasures like "housewives of orange county"--I guess Jo is gone for good and "nip tuck"-is it just me or has that show become more like soft porn? I didn't get to watch the latest episode of "moniques's charm school" but I did watch "Run's house" when he took his daughter to get a TATOO-father daughter bonding sure has changed these days! What ever happened to a good old, "Hell naw" or "Over my dead body"? My dad would have probably said something along those lines...

For the record, if you tell anyone that I admitted to watching any of those shows I will deny it with a passion...and have you maimed...I am just saying.

Anyway, overall I had a very pleasureable flying experience. Most importantly I made it there and back safe and sound. Not only that we arrived 30 minutes BEFORE scheduled arrival! I have found a new favorite low budget carrier. I heart Jet Blue.
