About an hour before landing, the flight attendants came through with drinks and snacks again. This plane had TV’s, and Wi-Fi, so the flight went by fairly quickly.

After spending a few days in New York City, I was flying home for a few weeks. Shortly before leaving for the airport, I got a notification on my phone that my flight was delayed. I was not able to switch my flight on the app. After quick call to jetBlue, I was able to get my flight switched to the same flights the next day. My flight was scheduled to depart at 7:30pm. I took a Lyft to the airport, around 5pm.
