      jeremy pearson I’m so sorry, that must have affected the whole airline quite terribly. I didn’t realize AF were flying to London??
      Ironically, I flew on two Air Florida B737-200s (sister ships to the crashed one) just a few months later...from/to London Gatwick. It was operated by (or for) Air Europe and successfully flew me to/from Corfu! I remember the outbound flight quite well because we hit some extreme turbulence over the Alps with hail hitting the plane, quite loudly for a while. Very memorable flight and holiday!

      They can't do that with the current fleet. They'd need to order A321LR's (which would have only enough range to fly between NYC/Boston and the British Isles, Spain, Portugal and France) or widebodies with greater range such as the 787 or A330.

The BA A318 and the Primera Air A321 are in all premium configuration with a limited number of seats and therefore fly with a lot less weight. If BA's A318 had the usual 100 seats, it would run out of fuel in the middle of the ocean.

    Fun Fact: back in the 80's, the ATC Tower at BOS had a cocktail lounge on one of the floors - I think 16? You used to be able to go up there, nurse a drink, and watch planes for hours. Many happy times there back when I was a student and could just afford the subway fare to East Boston and a beer.

    I flew Cape Air on Christmas Day 2018 from Boston Logan to Hyannis. Beautiful skies and fair winds. I was one of three passengers, and these Cessna 402s are still rock solid, Given that they last rolled off the line in 1985 (the year after I graduated high school, and I'm 52 now), this is a little duo prop with great sight lines and flight characteristics. Not for a nervous flyer, or one who doesn't want their luggage stowed in the nacelles aft of the engines. Cheers!

    Next time you're in DC you need to go to Gravelly Point Park on the approach end of runway 19 at DCA. You flew over it at 8:30. It's hands down the best spotting location in the US. You could probably even take an uber there during a long layover.

    My first experience with JetBlue was over 10 years ago. We had bad weather at JFK, which delayed us about 2 hours. We then ran out of fuel, due to headwinds, and had to make an unscheduled stop to get more fuel. The airline bought every passenger a sandwich during the fuel stop, and I got a groveling email apology with a travel voucher the next day. The crew remained cheerful throughout the whole flight, even though we were 4-1/2 hours late when all was said and done.
    You’re fortunate to have had such a great flight along the northeast corridor. The Boston-DC and Boston-NY flights are notorious for delays, especially later in the day. I wish I could say the train was always preferable, but given that the rail infrastructure is over 100 years old, it’s also prone to delays.

    Great video, Paul! Not to mention ironic, as I was just online earlier this morning checking fares between Syracuse, NY and National as my mum and I will be heading to DC in just a couple of months to attend my niece's confirmation.(my sister lives in the greater DC metropolitan area)
    The fares to National are actually better than the fares to Dulles, which is great. I really can't stand Dulles Airport, any road. It's miserable.

    • @ecclestonsangel
      @ecclestonsangel 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Paul_Lucas my sister and I nicknamed Dulles "The Roach Motel." You can check in, but once you're there, it's next to impossible to get back out. It's one of those dreadful 70s style airports where you can just tell that whoever designed it was obviously doing a mind-altering substance. No one has gone to any great lengths over the years to update the airport and freshen it up, so it's quite dingy and miserable. Sitting there, waiting endlessly for your flight makes you want to cut your wrists! This will be my first time ever flying into National. My sister assures me it's quite a lovely, updated airport. I must admit, I'm rather grateful I will be flying in when the weather is improving. I've never forgotten the FloridaAir crash in '82, when the plane slid right off the runway and into the icy waters of the Potomac. We've improved our de-icing procedures a great deal since then.(and yes, I've just dated myself!)
      Logan is another simply awful airport. Dunno if they've improved it since I was last through, but there is no bloody rhyme or reason to the stupid place! It's not marked well at all! On a more positive note, it is fun to fly into and out of. You think you're going to crash right into the ocean till the very last moment, and your brain is screaming, "aaaaaahhhhhhh!" and then you hit the runway. I rather thought that was exhilarating, lol! Tirrah!

They definitely need to get the cabins renovated on all their jets though. Spectacular views on the way down....my old "home" airport of Regan Airport where I grew up!!!

Even back then, they had a decent flight map and got as far south as Oklahoma.
    Damn, is there anything you haven't flown?

    Paul, you said Jetblue's seat back screens we're dated... It works though. Also, the TV onboard is operated by DIRECTV , a satellite Telly company that is owned by AT&T. (AT&T is based in Dallas, where I live. BUT DIRECTV isn't, they are based in El Segundo. California, wierd.)

      Kaden Reese Martin Directv was only recently as a few years purchased by AT&T, so that’s why. Same as why Whole Foods’ HQ is not in Seattle.

    Great video! but I think you should change the title of this video to "the BEST US Domestic Airline" .. It really is. Most comfortable planes, best FREE snacks, coffee, drinks, and entertainment....Also you did great on the American pronunciations:) and I agree that the River Visual approach into DCA is amazing!

  • @andrewgamez7973
    @andrewgamez7973 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had figured you had to have done these flights during the summer or at least late spring cause everywhere you went in your recent videos all were sunny and green. Especially the areas you've been in recently since it's been snowing there in the past 2 or 3 weeks. Hopefully this coming summer you make your way back to either houston or dallas. Maybe run into you while I do my traveling too but mine is way smaller than yours in terms of flights lol. Great video as always Merry Christmas

    I recently flew on a jetBlue 320 SYR-MCO, and I'll be honest even those had outdated seatback screens. I talked to a jetBlue pilot I know and he said the 190s are actually newer than most of their 320s, but I'm not too sure about the 321s

  • @jameshall6865
    @jameshall6865 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great report as always. B6 is the leading airline here in Boston and we love it. One thing: are you sure that's JFK airport you passed? Looked more like LGA to me (two crossed runways only). It may have been the hazy conditions, but JFK has multiple runways which I think would have been seen. Keep up the good work!

    • @jameshall6865

  • @paulprewer3545
    @paulprewer3545 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for another great report, I have flown into Washington on that approach, great views of the city. I believe there is an ordinance that does not allow any building higher than the Washington monument, hence the lack of skyscrapers.

    • @jameshall6865
      @jameshall6865 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think it's actually that a building can't be taller than the Capitol dome, so most buildings in the District of Columbia have large footprints, but usually only 10 or 11 floors. There are taller buildings across the river in Arlington VA though where the ordinance doesn't apply..

    Just flew Jet Blue from Orlando to LAX and back on two of their aged A320s. The crew was super nice and seemed happy. Perfect on time arrival both flights. Free snacks! Free movies. Free wifi as a True Blue member. The downside: Very old interior and seats/electronics. On the flight to LAX, my backseat video screen cut out mid flight and didn't turn back on until right before touchdown.On the flight back, had to insert and turn the insert of my earbuds into the armrest just right to be able to hear anything, though the sound remained tinny. The video screens are poor definition and very small. The armrest of the guy next to me across the isle was broken and coming apart (the top of it kept lifting off the base). Why not upgrade the interiors of your old planes flying cross country? Those are relatively long flights and leave more of an impression. Overall, I'd fly them again, but the coolness factor is clearly losing its mojo on some of their older planes.

  • @DJBigNicky
    @DJBigNicky 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’ve been a TrueBlue member for years. But lately they’ve been cutting back alot. Especially on cross country flights. But I read that their fleet is being upgraded soon so maybe that’s the sign of good things to come.

  • @rollingtroll

    Weird. I Never saw this on Patreon!
    I never heard anyone complain about JetBlue. They seem to be getting it just right for everyone.
    Nice landing too. Very surefooted.
    Looking forward to the train journey!

  • @RoadCone411
    @RoadCone411 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm so glad you liked JetBlue! They are not perfect but I feel they get far more right than they do wrong, and their hard product generally beats any of the other US domestics. The FlyFi is a great product and you can generally stream videos (for free!) Other airlines don't measure up. Throw in the quick but professional service by the cabin crew and this airline is great!
    On short flights, the E190 is a very comfortable ride and, as you pointed out, the legroom and large windows are key features that make it a favorite of mine! It is certainly better than riding in a cramped CRJ! Personally, I will miss the E190s when JetBlue starts retiring theirs in the next few years - let's hope the A220s are as good! I wanted to quickly point out that JetBlue has been in South America for some years - they started service to Ecuador in 2016, Peru in 2013 and Colombia in 2009!
    I have to say, your views of New York City and the approach into Washington were truly breathtaking! Amazing! In all of my flights to DCA, I seem to be stuck on the wrong side of the plane or we land to the north, which is not quite as spectacular! Well done, Paul!

    Dear Paul,
    I think you have one of the best travel channels out there. You should do a collab with the man tied with your channel in my opinion on the best travel channel. His name is Jeb Brooks. You've probably heard of him. Anyway, I noticed you didn't go into detail with Delta, and Jeb Brooks is a big Delta Flyer. I would love to see my two favorite TH-camrs get together!! (You and Jeb Brooks)
    I love your channel...
