for those familiar with jet blue and their new boarding procedure, how is it. is it better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone. Don't stop thinking about tomorrow....how is it. is it better than before
They 'made' you gate check your bag?? I've never seen them do that...they always ask for volunteers. I've sat and watched as some people agreed to gate check. But at times, not enough do..nothing is ever said/done. But, if people board, towards the end of boarding, and there isn't room for the carry ons in the overheard, they then get gate checked. There is no way I would allow my bag to be gate checked automatically. Many times I have things in my carry on bag that are either fragile or valuable...don't want them out of my sight.Didn't care for it. Felt it actually took longer to board the whole plane.
I also didn't like they made me check my carry on as there were too many on the plane. I purposely purchased an extra leg room seat for first access to the overhead bin. Next trip I will make sure to have a extra Magical Express tag on me should they make me check my carry on again.
I'd like to know if families on the same reservation are boarding together? I've heard several different things. My next trip it will be my entire family and I can't imagine not boarding together.
Both times I've used the new boarding system it seems there are more people in the new "group A" may board, than when they used to announce "those who purchased extra space seats". I have sent my feedback to JetBlue but got no response. I fly once a month to visit my CM DD. I wish I knew someone with a private plane.goofygal531 and SingingMom, Have either of you let JetBlue know about your experience and how you feel? That would aggravate me - and not much does.
On the way out we all had the same boarding number and on the way back we had 3 different letters for 5 of us, the same for just about every family around us. It was a pain! We split up cause we needed 2 carryons in the overhead bin. We were in the back and had to put those several rows in front of us. The back few rows have no overhead space because it is used by the crew and for the snack baskets.Didn't care for it. Felt it actually took longer to board the whole plane.
