Most Of You Like To Do It Early in The Morning...Fly, That Is

Here's a look at what some commenters said on Jaunted recently. Wanna join the discussion? Sign up and become a member. Or use your Facebook account to log-in. And don't forget to follow Jaunted on Twitter.

Yesterday we put forth the question What Time Do You Fly--Morning, Noon or Night? and listed the pros and cons of each one. Interestingly enough, most of you like to fly in the morning...unless there's a cheaper flight to be found at another time. However, Brett Snyder (of Crankyflier.com) points out that despite what we said, morning flights are not susceptible to cancellation just because there aren't enough passengers on the plane.

I'm an early morning guy without question. But can we please stop perpetuating the myth that airlines cancel flights that are lightly booked? That airplane has a route planned for the rest of the day, and if that first flight cancels, then the rest of the day is shot.

We definitely will take Brett's expert word on this but have any of you flown JetBlue lately? We feel like this has been happening with them recently. And one of our friends last week had to spend the night in Chicago instead of a simple layover because the JetBlue crew "timed out." Ah...the endless joys of airline mysteries!

Some other comments from the week:

· We asked for honesty about your commitment to the Louvre and you gave it to us
