they really don't offer direct tv when flying to the DR??? do they play a movie for you? so far i've been real pleased with jet blues service (besides the arrival/departure time), customer service, price, etc..but after i purchase my ticket i read online that the tv's don't work...probably bc they don't get signal or something....but for those that have flown JB what is there to watch?

I have flown Jet Blue three times so far betwen JFK and STI. The Direct TV works, as mentioned, for an hour or so. However, they also offer movies (Fox movies, I think) which are free on flights to the Caribbean. So, IF you are awake, the movies are an option.

Depends...
It all depends on the exact plane used for that flight. The older planes will only give you DirecTV for the first hour of the flight leaving the US and the last hour of the flight leaving DR. If you are lucky to get one of the new planes, the direcTV will work as mentioned BUT you will also have Movies to watch during the entire flight!

Whoever flys Jet Blue into Santiago is NUTS. Arrive at 1:45am, clear customs and get the hell out at 2:45 to 3am. Drive back to Sosua 4:15am. I just picked up 2 friends 2 days ago. Are you people NUTZ? I am still recovering from that trip! They can take a freakin cab back on Sunday!La Profe_1 said:

JetBlue Service
The flight attendants on jetBlue do tend to go that "extra mile" for the passengers vs AA which will tell you to "shove it" if they are in one of their moods. I fly AA just about every month and have met some really nice FAs and some nasty ones. jetBlue however has been very nice the few times I did fly with them. I did not like jetBlues late departure times vs AA being ontime just about everytime. Then...AA on connecting flights will leave you laying over in Miami or San Juan while they sold your seat to a stand by while you are already on an in bound (connecting and confirmed) flight. Oh yeah, AA is good for that! Everyone has their good points and bad points.

I have to agree with Domincan Scotty about Jet Blue's service. On one flight, because weather was bad at JFK, they held a flight for me to make my connection.
AA simply does not work for me from the US. I either have to purchase two separate tickets and check bags twice, or fly into LGA and make the trek to JFK on the way to the DR. Returning, because of departure times from POP, I cannot make a connection at JFK the same day.

People who live in santiago and fly jetblue are not nuts. They love the cheap rate and easy access to airport. Sosua folks should stick to POP airport.Escott said:
I say, the hell with jetblue and AA, Fly "DELTA" all the way.
I will be in their beautiful 767 boeing on monday morning.
Long live delta airlines.

Delta serves Atlanta
That's great AZB because you live near Atlanta. For the others that live in the NY and Miami area AA and jetblue are the airline of choice. Unless one doesn't mind connecting in Atlanta then AA or jetBlue serve JFK and STI/SDQ.

Anyway back to jetblue: I have heard nothing but good reviews from passangers who fly jetblue. They have good leather seats with LCD screen on the back for various cable channels/movies and modern well maintained aircrafts. The santiago folks don't complain of late jetblue flying hours. they simply go to a bar in monumento and then head over to airport at 11pm to check in for the outgoing flight to JFK.
Now when they are coming back, usually their friends drink and dance in a local dance club and then head over to airport to pickup their family/friends. No one complains of jetblue in Santiago.
What is better than Jetblue is "song", operated and owned by delta. I love their aircrafts.

I have flown Jet Blue to SDQ a few times and so has my buddy. The flight gets in so late that in most cases my only option for a cold presidente is Discoteca De Noche which is pretty scary! Last trip my buddy didn't even finish a beer, we headed out pretty quickly!
I do like the better service. I like the cheaper prices. I like direct TV even for only an hour. I love the free WIFI at JFK terminal, though they need to configure it a bit better. Their DHCP leases last too long and sometimes you can't grab an IP.
I like the fact that free flights rack up fairly quickly. I love the fact that making changes is 25 bucks as opposed to 100.
I also like that it does not cost almost as much or even more to buy a one way rather than round trip. Jet Blue gives me more flexibility in travel.
The downside is now that I am not renting in SDQ, I often need to pay an extra night in the hotel or just hang with a taxi driver and keep my bags in the trunk while I bar hop on the way to the airport.
Hmmm. . .maybe I can offset that by having a friend meet me at the airport and spending the first night in a cabana at san isisdro! LOL
