What kind of hotels does Jetblue stay at?

[B-J-J Fighter]

I'm sure its better than the regionals. Is it Hilton level hotels or better?

 

[Mike man]

theys stay at's hotel motel holiday inns

but seriously what kind of question is that?

 

[CA1900]

Sounds like a legitimate quality-of-life question to me.

We sleep in the airplane in blue sleeping bags.

Most of the hotels are nice. Hilton, Hyatt, Intercontinental, Marriot, double tree. There are not too many bad ones, just a few holiday Inns, but they are not that bad. Some of the island hotels are very nice. Long and short stay hotels in the bigger cities. Hope that helps

On the first day of class you are issued 2 things...a laptop and a tent. This way you can pick where you would like to sleep

 

[B-J-J Fighter]

Thanks for the respoonse Victor. I was just wondering what kind of places you stay. I would really like to be. Blue guy because of the FLA bases. Thanks again.

You won't have to worry about the island hotels for several years since for the most part those are Airbus cities. (I don't know, maybe the MCO guys have all the SJU layovers. Those are legitimately nice). They're not bad overall, but you're going to see quite a bit of the Rochester Radisson and Holiday Inn Dulles South as a new guy. The hotels have improved overall in my time here, we got rid of a couple of really crummy ones in RDU and CLT.

And your basing your decision wether to work there or not on the hotels they stay at? Geesh!

LOL! Post of the year!

Yes definetly better than regionals.

Its a good question. After working at Republic and 70% of the hotels suck and are in the middle of nowhere, I would ask the same question. Republic thinks a gas station and McDonald's is considered a dining option. If you call someone to complain they will tell you to order a F-ing pizza and if you dont like it just quite your job.

That still sounds better than Pinnacle.

Yeah but you forgot that now you fly that shiny jet, so enjoy it.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Neither of those two have any jets that are shiny....have you seen how crappy they are starting to look!!

 

[airludy]

Shiny Jet?? Are you kidding me? I could care less about what I fly. Im trying to leave this crappy job

 

[waka]

Well, at least you still have some level of care for what you fly. For myself, I couldn't care less about what I fly.

Yes, but it's a 24 hour McDonald's!

You haven't seen remote until you've been on an overnight for JetBlue. I'm absolutely convinced they spend hours on Google Earth looking for the most remote buildings they can find...if they happen to be hotels/motels...Full Speed Ahead!!!

It is truly bizarre how they can pair trips that have a 12 hour duty day with a hotel that has no possibility of any form of food after 8:00pm. Honestly, you have to invest in a cooler just to stay alive. I've never been at an airline where finding food of any kind was such a big deal.

I would mostly dissagree. I can only think of a couple hotels that might be in the "remote" catagory...one is the Doubletree RIC. But there are places to eat nearby.

I like our hotels. But, my cross section view is limited as I am on the 190. I can't speak about some of the other 320 only layovers.

I would have to mostly disagree too...I'm trying to think of what layover you are thinking of. We have a few bad ones (SWF) but they are in cities where there is nothing around. SYR is a bit remote (but numerous other airlines stay there i.e. UPS). Maybe I am just not getting the same trips as you (junior 320). I guess my personal worst is SDQ, as it is 30 minutes away, on a compound with limited food, but then again it is in a third world country and there is at least an illusion of security there. Other than that most of our hotels are pretty good. Lots of Westin's and Embassy Suites.

 

[banger]

On the 320 I can only think of two cities with Crappy hotels. One is SWF, the other is LGA. THe SWF was a one time (2year contract) thing until our normal hotel was remodeled. THe LGA is a Crowne Plaza but crappy for NYC.
Over all I enjoy our hotels. I think with a few exceptions the hotel committee does a good job.

 

[Jiminmem]

I left a few years ago, but remember most of the hotels being first class. RSW was kind of a dump, that was about it.

We are now in a Embasy Suites in RSW now I think. Very nice.

As stated above, SWF is the only really crap hotel and even if were going back to the old hotel in the near future that place was a TOTAL dump (so unless they blow it up any updating isn't going to matter) that was not near anything except a dinner. I

In most of the bigger cities we have short and long stay hotels or just stay downtown. That was the biggest change from my regional. At JB, I actually get to see most of the citys that we stay in.

 

[Headfake14]

yea...ORD long stay is niiiiice. No 1,2,3 though....damn $6 draft. But LOTS of cool places in short walking distance.

MCO...well...I think we should have a 'long stay' there. The Country Inn treats us very well...but, it'd be nice to be either down town or on/near I-drive.

RIC...again...well treated at the Doubletree. But my god...there is NOTHING good around on a 20hr layover. I hear downtown RIC is great...
Nice short van ride though...3min tops.

Those are my current worse complaints. If I were to write about my old hotels at ASA....haha..well, I'll need a publisher.
