JetBlue Airways Pointers for High-Spirited Flying
JetBlue Airways shares its top tips for flying free-from-stress allowing customers to enjoy their travel experience as much as they do their final destinations.
Make a list
The best way to remember to bring everything you need for your trip is to make a packing list and check the items off as you place them in your bag. Take it from Santa; he wouldn't remember all those gift requests without an organized list!

Check the weather
JetBlue prefers that it doesn't snow, but it sure is pretty, and the New York-based airline is no stranger to winter operations. Be sure to check the status of your flight and the national weather service forecast before heading to the airport, particularly if there is bad weather. If it does snow, learn more about how inclement weather can impact air travel.
Get to the airport early
Leave extra time to get to the airport and through security, particularly if you're traveling with small children. It's recommended you arrive at the airport two hours before your domestic flight and allow three hours for international. An extra 30 minutes can make the difference between a rushed or relaxed travel experience. Save time by checking in and printing your boarding pass at home so you can skip airport lines, drop your bags at the counter and head straight to security. You can track your sleigh (or flight) on JetBlue .com, and get information regarding weather advisories, changing or canceling a flight, retrieving a boarding pass and checking-in for a flight 24 hours in advance, as well as tracking real-time flight information for family and friends. Customers can also access mobile.jetblue.com from any web-enabled cell phone or PDA while on the road for real-time flight status.
Don't jingle all the way
But don't forget to remove coins and whatever else you have in your pockets when you go through the TSA security checkpoint! Also remember the 3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3.4 ounce (100ml) bottle or less (by volume) ; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. If you're traveling with holiday gifts or treats, make sure to leave gifts unwrapped until after you go through security and check with the TSA before traveling with liquid or gel items to see whether they need to be placed in your checked bag, shipped ahead, or left at home if they are above the permitted 3.4 oz.
Get warm
For those who don't love the holiday cheer, or the cold winter weather that this time of year is often marked by, the best way to warm the chill in one's heart is to book a fabulous, affordable vacation to somewhere tropical. JetBlue always offers travel deals to a variety of heated destinations, where you can swap the scratchy sweaters for the pure delight of the warm sun on your skin.
