Jim,

Don't know where you're traveling from and what your other options might be, but as a CT.YANKEE who has the option of using multiple airports and then multiple carriers out of my preferred airport, which is JFK, Jet Blue is not my first choice in SXM transport.

When they first came on the scene I read with interest the raves reviews but for the most part, AA has been good for us so I was hesitant about taking the leap and making the change.

Situations change as has AA so I've now used Jet Blue on multiple flights but given my choice and assuming non-stops are available, I'm sticking with AA whenever possible.

In April we will be taking AA n/s to the island but coming home again on JB because we had a free ticket but I just booked my December trip and I chose to do so on AA r/t n/s at prices just slightly below the recently announced JB prices for weekend travel. And doing so, I fully acknowledge the fact JB will probably run a few sales that will beat what I paid but having flown the two, AA still remains my preferred carrier.

Two things in particular about JB that I've noted are their dedicated international immigration hall in T5 at JFK is a shorter walk than AA which makes that one very nice plus. Their check-in regs at PJIA are annoying. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

But in the end, it's all about what works for each traveler so the thing to do is give JB a try and form your own opinions. You may well fall into the group who loves them, too. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
