Want More Legroom? JetBlue Has It — For a Price

Filed under: Customer Service, Passengers — Rick Seaney @ 12:26 pm

Are you one of those passengers whose knees are always smashed into the seat in front of you? Well starting next month, if you want more legroom on JetBlue, no problem!

Just fork over an extra $10 to $20.

And be one of the first in line: only about 6-rows will have this extra legroom, and JetBlue is betting they’ll all be snapped up.

Is it worth it? Keep reading…

JetBlue has always been proud of its seat “pitch” of 34-inches (the industry standard in coach is about 31 to 32 inches); but their newly configured seats will offer a 38 inch pitch. To some, that extra 4 inches can mean the difference between agony and ecstasy.

And lot of people would say $20 is a bargain. As we’ve seen, this kind of menu pricing for perks is the latest trend. Look at United, for example; extra legroom is an option they offer to their best customers, or if there are no takers there, other passengers may be invited to pay for this upgrade.

It’s not for everyone, but it’s nice to have the option.
