I’ve never really been a big fan of Laguardia airport. Even when I was a kid growing up in New York, it never struck me as a nice place to fly out of. Fast forward a couple decades and nothing has changed. Or has…
JetBlue has had a number of interesting flight options over the years. My favorite was the unlimited flying option (titled All You Can Jet, iirc) announced a couple years back. The WSJ has a quick rundown of this year’s program plus some info about…
