PromoTheRobot Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Not to sound like a commercial for JetBlue, but they are flying non-stops to Buffalo from Boston-Logan for $59! That's cheaper than a tank of gas and tolls!! They even have an early Sunday flight the day of the game. Besides, they are a corporate supporter of the Bills.

BILLS02138 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Thanks for that announcement... I say fly JETBLUE over USAIRWAYS anytime you can. When JETBLUE announced direct BOS/BUF flights at discounted rates - USAIRWAYS responded -- added SEVEN direct flights, at the same rate between BUF and BOS. Yeah, makes sense... but screw them! I'd rather see JETBLUE do well... I'm tired of getting raped by poor service and expensive flights on USAIRWAYS. Sorry, but that's how I feel... PS: Anyone got any extra tickets to the Bills/Pats home opener in Foxboro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I live in Boston and have season tix--this is the best thing in the world. I've already done it a few times and it is the easiest flight. Cheaper than driving by a large margin. That is, if you can stay with family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only missed the Jets 4:00 game last season. That drive was pretty tough and with gas continually going up it seems as though more expensive than flying. Unfortunately JetBlue didn't have the direct flight from Boston to Buffalo the last couple seasons so USAir had no reason to lower their prices. Fortunately, I'm going to grad school in Rochester this year so my drive is a lot shorter for the games this season!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Plus JetBlue is just a much more pleasurable flying experience - nicer planes, nicer amenities, nicer people, and everything's blue - the beer is Labatt Blue, the vodka is Skyy - in the blue bottle, and those blue potato chips...mmmm! I would NEVER fly USAirways if there was a reasonable alternative - and this goes back to the days of the drunken, coke-snortin' pilots of 'US Scare' and the terrifying puddle-jumpers of 'Agony Air'! They screwed Buffalo for so long and got away with it because they could drive out the competition - i.e., Frontier, Shuttle America, et al. Now that there are competitors with enough critical mass - like Southwest and JetBlue - USAirways drops their rates - but not until the first day of direct Buffalo-Boston service on JetBlue! OK, I feel better now after that brief rant - I'm going to book my JetBlue fight for the New England game today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR 749078[/snapback] damn I got all excited but jet blue from rdu to buf roundtrip is 277$ I think I can book useless Air or NW for a better deal than that.

Competition is a beautiful thing ... capitalism rocks :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fly longer legs direct from a couple of other cities - like Boston to LA - but only recently acquired some smaller jets and started direct service from Buffalo to Boston. Given the success of that route, I'd expect they'll be adding direct service from Buffalo to other cities - like Raleigh, NC - very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundy249 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Thats awesome you can the tickets cheaper on US crapways. So what if the planes have cracks and the pilots did not finish flight school....No big deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope jetblue expands here with all the WNY living in central NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
