I Think You Forgot Something

Being the travel junkie that I am, I tend to research airlines to see what changes are being made and if/when they will affect me. In my search for information on various airlines I found it quite interesting that there were, what I consider to be, major details missing from the JetBlue Wikipedia page. 


The quote below shows the information listed in the segment labeled "Services". 

==== Core ====
JetBlue offers Core (Main Cabin) seating across its fleet. In the Core cabin, Customers enjoy leather seats, the most legroom among U.S domestic carriers, free gate to gate wi-fi, free in-flight entertainment with [[DirecTV|DIRECTV]] and [[Sirius XM Holdings|Sirius XM Radio]] as well as unlimited complimentary snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. Customers can purchase or upgrade to an EvenMore® Space seat with more legroom than a Core seat in a better location in the cabin.

Clearly, for anyone who has flown with JetBlue we know the "Core" services offers more than wi-fi and Direct TV. JetBlue has snacks! AND... are you ready for this? The snacks are FREE! Do you understand how crucial this is for a traveler? Specifically, a traveler with a snacking habit that can't be shaken. 

I found it quite interesting one of the main attractions to the airline was neglected in their "Services" section. It seems the JetBlue Wikipedia page needed a bit of an update. So, of course, I did it. 

Check out the revision/update below:

Now, that you've read it, do you understand my bemusement? This is an amazing opportunity JetBlue is missing. As a traveler, it is important to know what you are able to receive, especially when it's free. It's vital to fully understand all of the pros when deciding what company to book with. 

Travelers, take the time to research the airline and hotel. Learn what they offer and compare it to other companies. Sometimes, it can be a very small thing, like snacks, that can make a huge difference. Furthermore, there are snack boxes that have full sized products for up to $9! That would get 1 bottle of water and 1 bag of chips in most airports. Save the time, on the line and your money on the overpriced snacks and get it on the plane. Enjoy it in the comfort of your seat while watching the show or movie of your choice. Doesn't that sound like a better experience? Yes, I thought you would agree.  

Snacks are an easy way to control hunger, especially during long flights or during layovers. 

Make sure you stay up to date with services offered... it all matters when Traveling with May
