Hmm..I wonder if the situation is temporary at A18 or if B6 will start additional flights out of EWR in the near future, from what I've heard the FL flights are doing well. It would be nice to see Jetblue expand at EWR. Maybe a EWR-LGB flight for connections to West Coast cities.

Quoting JerseyGuy (Reply 1): Maybe a EWR-LGB flight for connections to West Coast cities.
B6 is not a connections airline. Further, they don't fly anywhere on the west coast from LGB outside of Oakland.
B6 is not the answer to all aviation questions, despite what you have heard. Outside the Northeast, they barely serve anywhere but some low yield vacation spots and some MAJOR cities around the nation.
Of course you could fly any other airline out of EWR and connect to many west coast locations (or fly directly from EWR on CO to a huge number of destinations around the country or the world for a good price), but why bother doing that? Why support the airline that has made EWR what it is without totally screwing over it's local population?
It's a much better idea to just hope and pray B6 decides to serve someplace you wanted to fly from EWR, since they are the only answer...
Of all the things to worry about... the Wookie has no pants.

Tell that to the people from BUF, SYR, ROC, BTV, and soon RIC who will be connecting to many destinations on B6 such as MCO, TPA, RSW, LGB, SLC, LAS.

If my travels take me to a place that Jetblue doesn't fly then I will do that. You like Continental, I like Jetblue.

I understand that you like B6, and that's fine, but have fun traveling anywhere internationally on B6 except for NAS, STI, or CUN.
You may not like CO, but let me know how your flight goes on B6 next time to try to travel from EWR to HKG, NRT, LGW, DEL, GRU, PEK, OSL, ARN, CPH, FRA, MAN, BHX, BFS, DUB, SNN, CGN, HAM, TXL, FCO, MXP, GLA, EDI, GVA, ZRH, MAD, LIS, BCN, AMS, BRU, BRS, CDG, MEX, SJD, ACA, PVR, GUA, LIR, STT, AUA, ANU, SXM, BDACUR, BGI, GCM, SDQ, POP, PUJ, KIN, MBJ, POS, GUA, SJO, PTY, UIO, GYE, LIM, BOG, BZE, FPO, YYZ, YVR, YHZ, YYT, YYJ, or YYC.

They don't fly to the cities you mentioned. Neither did Continental five years after it started business.
Quoting Cory6188 (Reply 6): You simply cannot deny that CO offers service that is incomparable to B6, regardless of how fantastic you might think that B6 is.
Service has nothing to do with the amount of flights you have or the number of cities you serve. In what aspects does Continental have better service then Jetblue?
I never told anyone NOT to fly Continental, all I did was wonder if Jetblue would expand at EWR. Just like I'm sure you have, wondering if Continental will serve XYZ or if they will increase the frequency of a certain route. All of a sudden people start attacking me for liking Jetblue.

That's not really too fair of a statement either. B6 does have good service, no doubt about it, but sometimes, people often completely overlook the fact that B6 has fundamental shortcomings, such as its almost complete lack of international service.
I never said it's inflight service was poor - believe me, for as much as I like CO, inflight TV tops it all.

Every time the CO vs B6 thing comes up someone goes to international service but CO didn't have that when they were 5, it took a long time and service on-board jetBlue I feel beets it, not counting in FF miles or any other crap, but on board B6 has an edge.
Now this topic is about B6 using A18 in EWR not listing CO destinations.

Getting back to the subject of this thread. The gates B6 are using in EWR are old Song gates. They pulled out last September.

When CO was 5, did they serve Chicago? Does JetBlue? It's only the 3rd biggest metro area in the US.

You mean Song was in a different terminal than regular Delta, since Delta is in B, and if what you are saying is true, Song was in A? That doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to me.
Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Air Canada in C for a while handled by CO when the two airlines had a very close relationship, before Air Canada jumped ship, joined Star Alliance, and became close with United?

They're getting a third gate? That's great news! I would think 25-30 flights would be likely with three gates, but if they can do more then all the more power to them. I'd expect to see increased flights to Florida and a few flights out to the West Coast. They've been doing really well out of EWR (and have a higher yield than JFK flights), so I wouldn't be surprised to see additional flights very soon.

Quoting Mariner (Reply 16):
But then again, I am not sure why every US airline has to serve every US city.
I agree with that, but my only point is that Chicago is the #3 city in the US and JetBlue doesn't even serve that, just overflying it (not literally, but by criss-crossing the US, figuratively) because they, like most other LCC's, are a NICHE AIRLINE. Jet Blue's niche is relatively premium service on East-West coast transcons, and then runs up and down those respective coasts (i.e. Florida). You can't compare Jet Blue to CO, nor can you do likewise with WN to AA, or any other crackpot comparisons A.net makes. They're niche airlines. That's why you don't see them running small props to places like ERI, and why you don't see them offering first class service and mileage upgrades for Transatlantic flights, they serve their niche, and most of them serve it quite well.
