The person working the complaints probably cringed when he or she saw how long it was Probably just read it fast, gave you something and moved on not paying attention to the details. Person probably has a productivity quota so anything long, they are just glancing at it When we write to an airline, we try to keep it as short as possible. On a side note. I think all B6 agents work from home and mostly based in Utah Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I think you should try Panama next vacation. It is 6.5-7 hours nonstop on COPA.

JBU didn't hold the FLL to AUA portion; it left 10 minutes late. B6 probably figured weather. Agreed that JBU might have requested that people stay on the plane in MCO and have the gate in MCO bring in food and beverages, keep the IFE running, and keep pax comfortable. Then there would have not had to be a weight check, just the new flight plan and ATC giving them space. I think that contributed to the flight running so late. Up to you Wiz whether you want to pursue further but your ATC professional thinks that B6 owes you more. |

Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | I polled people on another forum and asked them if they should restrict their choice for beach vacations of less than one week to those cities where there exist nonstop flights. For example flying to Aruba via Fort Lauderdal on JBlue or Panama City on COPA both take about 12 hours. So why not simply look for resorts in Panama, and cut your travel time from 12 hours to 6.5 hours?

Those Latitude Longitude on the website show the plane coming within 5 miles of FLL airport. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/JBU8/history/20171229/0634Z/KLAS/KMCO/route 2nd last line BEPAC 26.1501667 -80.1532500 336° 38 173 2170 Waypoint It's like the plane flew right over FLL. But that is not indicated on the map. |
