In the podcast, the minister said for sure they would be gone completely in June, and then talked about possible flight from FLL, so maybe she mis-spoke??? But the SJU flights I thought were stopping as of May 1...

As I said- "I guess it could happen with any carrier", I just didn't put the "anyplace". We had our flight canceled to SXM on AA, and they didn't bother to notify us, even after we had requested the update service to contact us by e-mail, text, and phone of any itinerary changes. They did not contact us. I just happened to check, and found the flight had been canceled. We were able to get another flight after calling AA. They did not automatically put us on another flight.

I still don't understand how the minister made such a big mistake.
And if it were me, just a $100 service credit to allow one to try to book a flight from SJU to SXM wouldn't cut it, for me. That would really stink, trying to figure out what to do at the last minute, like that.

As I have said before, the luster has worn off JB in some ways and they will eventually be just like any other airline.

My experiences have been professional & positive from booking flights to landing. Instead of dreading getting on a plane I don't mind it at all when it's on Jet Blue. Our daughter did however have a surly flight attendant in January & we laughed about it all week. She happened to ask about the snack choices & he flung the basket in her face. You see there were only a few items in the basket, she couldn't see inside. If you ever meet Rich on a Jet Blue flight to JFK, it will be an experience. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> So whenever we fly Jet Blue we compare notes about Rich, to all our family & friends.
