    JetBlue to Add…Premium Class?

    It could happen.

    According to this report from Bloomberg, the all-coach JetBlue may go to a “two-class cabin with premium pricing”.

    Don’t look for this to happen today or tomorrow, but JetBlue’s CEO did say, everything is on the table.

    The airline already has extra legroom (6-rows worth on their Airbus A320 jets), and while they do charge extra for those seats now, they’re thinking of transitioning it into a whole new class.

    Interesting. There are reports that some premium travelers are “fleeing the airlines” but JetBlue thinks maybe they can make this work (and make money in these times of soaring oil prices). Not sure if that’s possible, but JetBlue is a scrappy airline, and if anyone can…

    How Much is Leg Room Worth?

    Is it worth a little extra money for the chance e to stretch out? Does added legroom in coach bring us one step closer to feeling like we’re in first class? The answer is probably “no” to the latter question, but the answer to the former is a bit more up in the air. People, especially those with long legs or a love of personal space, are more than willing to pay a little more for leg room.

    As reported in the New York Times, last week “jetBlue selling optional seats with 38 inches of pitch - four inches more than its standard seats…”

    Depending on the distance your flying, the extra leg room will run you between $10 and $20. Of course, jetBlue isn’t the only airline charging travelers for a little more comfort. Check out a sample of the fees you can expect to pay is you want to stretch out on the plane the next time you fly…
