JetBlue snacks?
A friend is traveling this week on JetBlue from New York to San Juan
Puerto Rico and back. Both flights leave around 11AM and arrive around 3PM. She wants to know what exactly does JetBlue call a "snack"? Is it just a soda and a bag of peanuts, or something more substantial? Flight time is around 3:30 hours and she wants to know whether to try to schedule in extra time on the way to the airport to pick up something to eat or is the snack enough to sustain one during a lunch time flight? Anyone had any experiences with JetBlue to Puerto Rico? Thanks. |

Some passenger comments he http://www.airlinequality.com/Forum/jet_blue.htm "Snacks seem to come often and were good (cheese dip with breadsticks was one)" "...nice array of snacks and beverages..." "Despite the very short flight time (55 minutes), cabin staff was friendly, efficient and served us a whole can of soda (or a variety of other beverages) as well as a choice of 5 different snacks - the (rather greasy and not especially good) fabled "blue" potato chips, Chex-Mix, a biscotti, some type of cookie, and something or other else. Impressive - not just your average bag of peanuts - choices!" "The snacks and beverages were decent, wide selection." "...numerous snacks offered (cookies, chips, snack mix, and more) and a nice selection of drinks other than just coffee or sodas." "Also cookies or choice of savory snacks were offered free."

Take a sandwich and a bag of apples aboard. Share the bag of apples with other passengers. :-) whether to try to schedule in extra time on the way to the airport to pick up something to eat or is the snack enough to sustain one during a lunch time flight? Anyone had any experiences with JetBlue to Puerto Rico? Thanks. The snack isn't good for anything other than a 4 minute diversion. |

Bags are typically the size that you can buy in the snack pack boxes at the grocery store or those small bags at a convenience store. I'd suggest she bring a sandwich as a main course and let them provide the snacks/drink. |

Let Jet Blue provide the drinks. The key is remembering to take it out of the refrigerator in the morning and put it in your carry-on. Your friend will be the envy of all those people on the plane who didn't bring anything or picked-up a MacDonalds Barf Burger. -- ________ To email me, Edit "xt" from my email address. Brian M.

Dave ===== I flew Dallas/Fort Worth to London in March on American Airlines and ordered a gin and tonic. It cost $5. The gin was in a miniature bottle and was a good measure. The tonic was poured into my plastic glass by the FA after I had placed the gin in the glass. It was a pathetically small amount, particularly as the glass was about 97% full already with unwanted ice, and she wanted to retain the can of tonic, presumably to serve another 6 passengers. I have a theory that, coca-cola apart, mixers are in incredibly short supply in the USA. I think that Americans are really nice people but sometimes their behaviour is unfathomably strange. JohnT |

(Not on JetBlue) I agree with the "bring your own sandwich" idea. I often do this. I like to pick up a sandwich from the deli department of a supermarket. My wife often packs us some fruit -- grapes, cut up cantalope, etc. *MUCH* better than typical airline snakes. One thing to consider -- on international flights don't take more food than you will consume in route. You may be required to trash any uncosumed food to get through customs/immigration. This would especially apply to meats, and to un-processed fruits and vegitables. -- Charlie Hammond -- Hewlett-Packard Company -- Ft Lauderdale FL USA -- remove "@not" when replying) All opinions expressed are my own and not necessarily my employer's. |
