Jump to postI arrived at Dublin March 27th and left yesterday on March 31. This was on Jetblue. The Dublin airport didn't seem to busy at all.

Jump to postCame across this flight deal and found it curious. It looks like Jetblue is selling flights from Dublin to Port of Spain via JFK?

Jump to postAlso want to add that on the RT JFK-SAL last week, the seats on Avianca actually were not bad? I was in economy and the seats don't recline but it felt like they werent straight up at 90 degrees. There was a slight natural incline and I never once felt uncomfy. I even slept, alot!
Jump to postI don't think anyone is truly questioning the private jets, that's expected. What the questioning is related to is commuting to the office based on them not relocating to be at the office when they are requiring others to be at the office. That's the root of hte issue. But the media will make it lo...
