Jaunted

We're sure you can imagine our excitement as we walked to the departure gate at JFK and saw BetaBlue sitting outside, just waiting for us to give it's in-flight WiFi a good shakedown, and we had our laptop out from the second we reached cruising altitude until the battery died on us. While the LiveTV internet isn't as fast as at home, and the few websites it can access are displayed in their mobile forms (like how it looks on an iphone), we were off and Gmailing in no time, delighting in writing email subject lines like "hot in-flight internet action."

In addition to the drinks and WiFi, there was yoga in the aisles and much cross-country napping, thanks in large part to the aforementioned drinks and furious emailing. While future JFK-LAX flights won't always be freely pouring the champagne—unless there's some major ground delays, am I right?—you can expect full flights of people who value those seat-back TVs and free snacks like they had just stumbled upon an oasis out of the desert.

Sorry Long Beach and Burbank, but as long as LAX has Pinkberry and direct Jetblue flights from JFK, we're tripping that way.
