Kelley and I have been flying a lot the past two years. Amazingly enough, we haven’t had to pay for a single flight! That’s all thanks to the Jet Blue Amex for business and earning points. There’s one main reason I fly Jet Blue, besides Direct TV at every seat, and that’s the leg room. Especially when it comes to traveling with my equipment. I pack 2 camera bodies, 6 lens’s, a flash, and my laptop in a ThinkTank bag for under the seat. In order to really get the bag under the seat in front of me, I take the camera bodies out and put them in the front of me. Once in the air I move the ThinkTank bag under my legs and stretch out. Plenty of room! The iPhone picture doesn’t really show it, but I was able to put 4 fingers inbetween my knees and the cameras.
When I take the laptop out I can actually tilt the screen back and type like it’s on a normal table. I had to fly Delta once this year, and besides being one of the worst experiences out of JFK, I could barely move in the seat and had to become a contortionist to use the laptop. I can’t wait for my next Jet Blue flight! Where should I go next?

I’d fly Jet Blue more, but they just don’t go to enough places. Particularly out of Denver.

I’m so with you on this! We didn’t take them to PR…MY idea to save $200 roundtrip. What a flippin mistake! We were like sardines on the Continental flight. And they charged $25 each bag you checked in each way. Never again! MIke swears by Jet Blue every time he goes to Cali.
