JetBlue is Banning Carryons for its Cheapest Tickets and Will Pay Other Passengers $25 if They Can't Find Overhead Bin Space
JetBlue Airways on Wednesday announced sweeping changes to its fare and fee structures, with its most cost-oriented flyers buying the airline's cheapest tickets slated to be the most affected. (www.businessinsider.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
JetBlue needs to go back to what it was 8 years ago. In that day, one checked bag was totally free, no need to have an airline's credit card. Then they trimmed that benefit, and now no carry ons?
The no carry-ons are for those who only buy the cheapest tickets.
I have no problem with this, but I have never been able to use JetBlue. Carry-ons would not have been an issue if airlines were not trying to shoehorn so many passengers into the tube and actually enforced carry-on sizes to begin with.
Meant as a reply to the post by Larry Horton.
Seems to me that that is the practice that they are attempting to rule out. Now with Blue Basic fliers forced to check their carryons there will be more room in the overhead, and maybe no need to call for folks checking their carryon at the gate. The additional revenue for Blue Basic luggage fees would likely more than cover any $25 credit for not having space.
i like the thought of simply walking onto the aircraft and going to my seat without the burdon of a roll on bag. Worth the $25 bucks no doubt. THat is what excess cash is for; to reduce as often as we can any instance of irritation and aggrevation.
"...Carryons.."? Oh, I thought they were banning Crayons..
