jetBlue will win!

I just read some stuff about this and very excited that this is happening. Virgin is very flashy and looks alot better the jetBlue but in the end jetBlue has the free food and tv as opposed to free tv and having to pay for food. I also think that jetBlue has much more connections (jfk/bos/iad/aus to name a few) to the west coast and has more attractive connections from the west coast to the Caribbean/ South America/ Mexico as opposed to only flying to the west coast from florida or flying only to florida from the west coast.

Be cautious using JetBlue

Just be careful about using JetBlue. I had my mom and stepfather take the JetBlue one-stop flight from FLL to SFO last year. The outbound went okay, though they did end up changing planes because of some weather issue. The return flight never occurred. JetBlue canceled the SFO to FLL flight without explanation, but it wasn't a weather issue. Okay, cancellations happen on all airlines, no biggie right? They'll put you on the next flight, route you a different way, or book you on another airline, but you'll get home with the ticket they sold you, just a little late. Worst case they'll put you up in a hotel for the night and get you out tomorrow. Wrong. Unlike a regular airline, JetBlue offers no alternative arrangements when they cancel a flight. Since they have so few flights each day, and most are fully booked, they can't recover from a canceled flight. Future day flights on JetBlue will be completely booked up, so they can't put a couple of hundred people on a flight the next day (or the next or the next). Unlike a regular airline, they have no reciprocal agreements with other carriers when they cancel a flight. They simply refund the money for the canceled flight segment and wish you a fond farewell, and good luck on finding a no-advance-purchase, full fare flight on another airline. Not sure if Virgin America is the same way when they have a cancellation, but if they are I'd steer clear of Virgin America as well. A lot of FLL bound passengers are going there to get on a cruise ship at Port Everglades which is adjacent to the airport. These cruise passengers can't be delayed for days trying to find a replacement flight. JetBlue gets hyped a lot, but when it comes down to the basic feature of getting you to your destination, they fall short. After this happened to my mom, I went online and did some searching, and found that many others had experienced the same problem--"here's your money back, go find your own way home."
