Check-in | No free carry-on or checked bags
Basic economy gets you a free personal item but not much else for luggage. Your first carry-on is $35, followed by $50 for the 2nd bag. Otherwise, the check-in experience was smooth and quick and the staff were speedy.
On-time departure
The departure was surprisingly on-time, considering the past few flights had been delayed to the point where the aircraft arrived more than 2 hours late. We departed right on-time and would later arrive early, something I did not expect on JetBlue. Due to the small size of the aircraft, boarding was very quick.
Great legroom and seat amenities for the price!
For the price of the ticket, the seat had a universal power outlet, multiple pockets, a usb outlet, and IFE screen.
Free Wi-Fi changes everything
The fact that JetBlue has, for a long time, been the only carrier to offer free Wi-Fi in the United States is what I like the most about the airline. For a majority of the flight I had no issues with the Wi-Fi, although I have heard that some people have had issues on transatlantic flights. Even if you forget your device, you can always use the IFE which has Live-TV, movies, music, and a flight tracker.
So useful when travelling with friends or family! 😊
Complimentary snack and drink, and extensive paid selection
Various drinks, both hot and cold, were available alongside 4 snack options, which I really like as opposed to Southwest and American's approach with just one singular snack. There were also various paid food options including packages, which didn't seen too overpriced. If you forgot a blanket or headphones, JetBlue sells them onboard flights.

Hi there,
Nice first review! Short and sweet but with all the essential information and photos. You can actually embed your video into this review instead of just the URL if you use the Full Editor rather than the Mobile editor next time, just FYI.
Aside from their issues with on-time performance--which is mostly a product of having Northeastern US hubs--JetBlue have the best Economy product in North America with the best legroom, as you mention. It will be sad to see them densifying the cabins starting next year and losing much of what made them special. I am glad they'll be introducing a Domestic First class product on non-Mint aircraft though.
Agree with you on Boston, it's a great city for history nerds (which I am...along with being an airline nerd...I guess I'm just a nerd period 🤣). Boston's old winding streets and historical buildings feels so English. Annapolis, MD also has that same British coastal town feel, which I love.
Thanks for sharing and welcome!
Thanks for the information, first time on my website so still learning the interface!
