Fort Lauderdale, FL – A JetBlue flight took off from Fort Lauderdale, headed to JFK, Wednesday night at 5 p.m. It was supposed to be a three hour flight. It arrived at Kennedy at 3:15 p.m. Thursday.
The scene inside the plane was not pretty, as passengers were diverted to Atlantic City. And they were not allowed off.
The passengers of Flight 62 arrived at JFK Airport 22 hours after they left Fort Lauderdale.

“I don’t want to fly so fast again,” one passenger said. “This was a nightmare of a trip.”
Passengers say home videos taken aboard the plane don’t even begin to tell the story. The plane took off from Fort Lauderdale after a three hour delay, and was then forced to circle JFK in the storm before being diverted to Atlantic City at 9 p.m. There, passengers waiting in the plane on the tarmac for three and a half hours, then waited three more hours in the airport for buses before checking in hotels at 4 a.m.
“My kids are traumatized,” passenger Aron Schiffenbauer said. “My son is traumatized. He’s been vomiting. He doesn’t have any clothes to wear and he’s been vomiting the whole time since last night.” [7tv]

Jet Blue is going down the drain. Because they stole their idea of the airline from Yossel Sharmaesher.
The same thing happened to flight 49 from JFK to FLL. It was supposed to take off @4:55 pm and was re-scheduled numerous times. The incoming plane landed at 10:15 and an announcement was made that the crew is on the way and it should take off ‘shortly’. After many more erroneous announcements, the shortly turned out to at 4:30 am when they finally found a crew and we arrived on Thursday
uptime22:30 am. During the entire time at the airport JetBlue did not have their act together at all. Some of the employees were embarrassed by their company.
