Hmm… The Boyd group people say its always a ramp.. Never having worked in the industry, I’m not sure what to say..

Thanks for such an in depth trip report. I’m jetting on JetBlue for the first time next week (TPA-JFK & JFK-CLT) and you’ve gotten me excited!

There’s a good question, Nicholas. When do you use “ramp” and when do you use “tarmac”? I’ve always used them interchangeably.

I’ve flown on JetBlue before (flown, it was before this whole jetting thing.) and they’re simply one of my favorite airlines. I was even impressed with how they handled the aftermath of the plane stuck on the runway for 17 hours thing. Sure it sucked, but I’ve not seen that much honesty and putting the tail between the legs in quite some time.

Oh CF, what is this tarmac thing you speak of? Last I knew airplanes went on ramps

Hey Everyone,

JetBlue doesn’t fly anymore they JET!! I Jetted from JFK-LAS, PHX-JFK, JFK-BUR, & BUR-JFK in the past week and each jetting experience was excellent. I even got to JET in EML for FREE!!!

I fly from Buffalo to New York City about once a week and always on jetBlue. Great airline although I wish they flew to Los Angeles out of Buffalo because I got there a lot too.

I love LGB as an airport to fly into and out of as well (I do it from SEA via AS). I may have to take it to the LA area…

I am not a terribly great flier, but I love to fly jetBlue. The service is amazing and its the only airline where I have ever had a pilot come out of the cockpit to say hi before the flight, “Hi, my name is Dave. I’ll be your pilot. We’ll be deicing the plane momentarily. It smells like syrup, but don’t worry, I’ve smelled it for years and I’m fine!” I was trying to find a good rate on jetBlue for a trip to CUN from SYR, but I couldn’t justify paying $300/person more then CO. But whenever I can, I am on jetBlue.

If ever flying around north of the border I highly suggest Westjet. Like Jetblue without the “trapped on the runway” media mess.

I took a JetBlue flight from Long Beach to Boston in 2005 and it was very pleasant. Now that I just moved to Long Beach, I hope to fly JetBlue more in the future, although they no longer serve my ancestral homeland of Columbus, Ohio.
