I'm True Blue!

It is not yet 7:30 am, and I have already been on two subways, one monorail, and a shuttle bus. The gate from which my flight to Pittsburgh departs is in a construction site, no exaggeration. It is bizarre.

However, I just learned that JetBlue offers free wifi. It is my new favorite airline, even if I have 125,000 frequent flier miles on American with another 15,000 to be accumulated by the end of January. Quite frankly, those additional 15,000 are courtesy of JetBlue, too, in a roundabout way. JetBlue is beginning service to O'Hare in January, so American has to bribe people with bonus miles and cheap flights to retain them.

I may get ridiculous amounts of miles, upgrades, and free flights on American, but do they have free wifi? No, they do not. (OK, I am not permanently switching allegiances any time soon, but this free wifi is really warming my little heart in these wee morning hours.)

  1. Free wifi. That has to be worth millions of frequent flyer miles..

  2. I love Jet Blue for so many reasons. I am sad they don't go to Eureka, where I will be flying to in 3 days.

  4. JetBlue is also great when you're flying direct to California and you're able to watch two movies, an episode of Nip/Tuck, and still have time to sleep in that comfortable leather chair. Oh, and the animal crackers. Gotta love the animal crackers.
