Jetblue 25 Segment 1

Posts from this Trip Report:

For the first segment, I started off slow with flights just up and down the eastern seaboard. The full itinerary is below:

Date Route Flight Time
AUG23 JFK - BDL 08:40PM - 09:59PM
AUG24 BDL - PBI 08:45AM - 11:45AM
AUG26 PBI - EWR 08:06PM - 11:00PM
AUG28 JFK - MHT 09:59PM - 11:27PM
SEP03 BOS - RSW 07:15PM - 10:48PM
SEP06 RSW - HPN 10:45AM - 01:38PM
SEP06 JFK - BNA 08:00PM - 09:38PM

These were booked as 4 separate tickets:

  1. Multi-city: JFK - BDL / BDL - PBI
  2. One-way : PBI - EWR
  3. One-way : JFK - MHT
  4. Multi-city: BOS - RSW / RSW - HPN / JFK - BNA

Jetblue, for the most part, prices multi-city itineraries as the sum of the individual one-way components. They then deduct $5.60 for connections under 4 hours at the same airport because the government only would charge 1 security fee.

As you can see, the only "close connection" I had was from HPN to JFK. It's about 2.5-3 hours to get HPN to JFK, so I had about an hour or so of breathing room, enough time to stop and get lunch in Rye, CT!

BNA is also somewhere I wouldn't have ever visited if not for the challenge. This may offend some real country music lovers, but I felt that Nashville was...underwhelming. Broadway had some crowds, but the wide road made it feel less fun overall. Every bar seemed to just be a copy and paste of each other. I honestly had more fun exploring Warner Parks than walking around in the city.
