Put in your AAdvantage number in when you fly that way you will earn points and eventually status.

Yeah... expect delays. Lots of delays. For no apparent reason.

I highly recommend JetBlue if you are flying to/from a JetBlue hub city (i.e, BOS, JFK etc.). Economy seats get more leg room, customer service is top notch, easy to attain their best frequent flyer Mosaic level, and your bosses will thank you for saving money flying a budget airline.

A flight on United or Delta with a connection will get you there faster than a direct flight on AA.

Ya. Don't get caught up with aa. It is a relationship that will cause you nothing but pain.

Boston might be one of the few places where Jet Blue makes sense.

See if AA has a status challenge to get status faster. Make sure you will be traveling long enough to reach it.

Haha yikes, now you've got me scrambling to see if I can make JetBlue work

All the US3 are crap and their crappiness goes in cycles. LCC service is limiting; may be good at times but not all the time. So, more info needed. Where do you live and where do you fly to? I live at a hub so wouldn't dream of flying another carrier as my primary.

like

Check with the travel services in the firm, they usually have promos in Feb March to do challenges. Example 35K miles in 8 weeks to get exec platinum.

If youre going with AA, understand their new status tiers, and award redemptions. Just fyi, the entire program is pretty shitty compared to Delta or UA - that's my opinion. But I am in a AA hub, so a direct flight is far better than a stopover!

like

Ok, probably going to go with JetBlue: first week of January their flight times are more limited, but looking at later weeks they offer more flights at convenient times. So AA no longer has any advantage

like

I know there was a status challenge for jet blue running for a while. Check to see if it's still available

like

Avoid.

JetBlue serves Dunkin Donut coffee on their flights. Need any other incentives?

Check out the spark page for travel. Last year I got automatic mosaic status on JetBlue. Didn't even need to fly them.

I'm based out of Boston, and the only airlines with direct flights to my current project site are JetBlue and AA

Way better thank United.
