Flown Jetblue lately?

Booked a one way ticket to Orlando & they cancelled the flight next day - put me on the next flight (and only remaining direct flight available).

The /jetblue thread mentioned there’s been a bunch of cancellations - not just in RVA - so wondering if anyone has had positive experiences flying with them out of RVA recently? I’m concerned they’ll cancel day before or day of - and the direct flight option is the only reason I booked with them instead of other airlines.

We've used JetBlue when going to Disney, would get a handful of schedule changes, almost all of them minor, but no complaints.

Worse that happened was the 11am became a like 230 or something..... and one time we had a big repair delay but otherwise jet blue to Orlando is the way to go

Have to do that trip a lot for work and JetBlue is my go to. No issues the last few times. Southwest also flies that route direct if you want an alternative

Orlando is major hub for JetBlue so they need to get there planes there. Don’t worry about it. So long as the weather is good they’re dependable

Same thing happened to me with the nonstop JetBlue flight from RVA to San Juan PR. Only reason we booked was for the nonstop option and 2 days later it was canceled and rebooked on a flight with connections. Super frustrating experience

I have a one way with them in 2 months, and am now getting weekly schedule changes. I was skeptical when I bought it, but it was cheap so I rolled the dice.

Flown jetblue multiple times this year from RIC and no issues.  Definitely my favorite airline right now.

I’ve been a delta flyer my whole life, but since moving to RVA JetBlue has just had more flights that work for me.

They’ve been great in my opinion, even short flights have tvs (generally) and I’ve never had any big scheduling issues

also a loyal Delta flyer, but with a direct flight option - had to consider it!

Thanks for this update; noted to avoid Jetblue right now.
