Least-Surprising-News-Story-of-the-Day: NY Airports Have Many Delays

Filed under: Airport, Delays, Southwest, JetBlue — Rick Seaney @ 10:27 am

CNNMoney notes today that arrivals at New York City-area airports ranked tops for delays last month.

Shocking!

The best airport for timely arrivals? Salt Lake City.

JetBlue had the most dismal on-time ranking, and Southwest had the best.

Also, do not confuse these on-time stats with the”official” ones from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics that come out in arrears — these are provided by FlightStats who tracks them in real time from a variety of sources.

JetBlue: Yes, You Can Have a Blanket and a Pillow — for $7

Filed under: Airline Fees, JetBlue — Rick Seaney @ 11:18 am

Want to grab a little shut-eye on your next JetBlue flight?

No problem! You can even have a fresh pillow and blanket, if you don’t mind paying $7 for this “Snooze Kit”. Yep, the latest airline fee.

But this isn’t the worst fee I’ve heard of: for one thing, it’s a new blanket and pillow, and supposedly “eco-friendly” to boot. According to the article I saw, the blanket and pillow “feature fabric technology, developed by CleanBrands LLC, that blocks pesky critters like dust mites, mold spores, pollen and pet dander.”

Added bonus: each “Snooze Kit” comes with a $5 coupon good at Bed, Bath & Beyond.

CUT in Pay for JetBlue’s CEO

JetBlue’s CEO David Barger wants to show “solidarity” with his employees as they struggle through these tough economic times.

So he’s slashing his pay — in half.

Instead of making a base salary of $500,000, he will make $250,000.

Barger is not the first to cut his pay, and, it should be noted that this salary reduction is only effective through December of this year.

But as gestures go, it’s a heckuva good one.
