We used to rely on AA for rhe nonstop. Then JetBlue.

Looks like AA pulled their nonstop which leaves JetBlue and Delta. I haven’t flown Delta in over 25 years. Are they comparable to JetBlue? Right now, they are running less $

I know no airline is great but curious. Thank you

Delta just as good but in my experience more expensive but didn’t check price recently.

We used to take the direct 7am jet Blue from Boston but this year American got the 7 am slot but it’s not direct. It goes to JFK. We left last Saturday at 9:25 am. Not used to arriving later with several other planes. Then they put JB luggage mixed in wit Delta and didn’t tell us so everyone was searching all over for luggage.

This wasn’t a reply to your post. I was just venting. So if you go Delta watch luggage

I’ve been playing with days to book a May trip. Airfare is insane. I’ve given up on AA unless I’m
Making the connection from Westchester - SXM. Then it’s Delta down and AA home. I have been flying Delta and JB from JFK. I prefer delta but the planes are nothing special. I like delta down and JB home from JFK.

I agree with the others, really no difference. Go with whoever has a better time schedule to fit your needs and hopefully a better price. We booked Jet Blue for July but really played with our departure and arrival dates to get the best fare. I used Jet Blue solely because I had the points. Not Sxm but we do what Kim does going back and forth to NY from Florida -- fly to NY on Jet Blue and back to Florida on Delta -- primarily because of the flight times. Hope you find something reasonable.

We fly both JB and Delta from JFK direct to SXM. I love Delta's "Comfort class" option. For a few dollars more, it's worth it!!

Yup....JB Comfort + and Delta Extra Room seats are our definite go to"s.....We flew Delta to SXM last trip and the PVD-ATL aircraft was great.....new, great video screens. ATL-SXM was totally different. old aircraft with tiny hardly visible screens....exactly the same for the return but the extra room was nice

JB and Delta are our airlines of choice....plus having their credit cards gets us priority seating and free checked bags

We've flown both out of JFK. Last time we flew Delta (a few years ago), the gate was ALL THE WAY at the end of the terminal is that matters to you. It was a Schlep! Also, if you can do EWR instead of JFK, United was much cheaper last time than either JB or Delta
