As of mid August they are banning masks with vents and not accepting excuses that people can not wear masks

Good for them. We have to learn how to function with this thing.

I live in a mid-size, Northwest city, that JetBlue does not serve, though, I believe they serve Seattle and Portland.

I've always wanted to fly on JetBlue, because, they seem to have some of the funkiest things happen on their flights.

I am thinking, of the Flight Attendant, who, got in an argument, with a passenger, activated the emergency Shute, and went sliding off the plane😲

I have never had excitement, before, during, or after a flight.

Nobody seems nervous about flying, everybody finds their seat and sits quietly in it. The only thing that develops, is boredom!

Has anybody had airline adventures?

The vented masks never made any sense to me just like face shields without a face mask under it.

Many years ago, on a flight between New York and Vancouver (not Jet Blue), a man and woman seated in front of my husband and me joined the Mile High Club, so to speak. They had appeared to be strangers at the beginning but I can attest to the fact that they were definitely not strangers when we landed. The amazing thing was that each of them met their respective significant others at the arrival gate.

We try to fly Jet Blue when we can they operate a few flights to Florida from our local regional airport, we have always enjoyed flying on their planes

There are valid reasons why some can't wear a mask, it makes me cringe when excuse is used. Jet Blue can make the any rule they want, they can also be sued about it too & Yikes, I don't want to be on a flight with little ones having a mask meltdown...it's ridiculous to expect them to wear a mask for the entire flight.

Delta Air Lines banned those masks last week.

Some airine said today they will stop wiping down the seat belts and seats after every flight and will do so just once a week..

I'll have to find that news in the news again tonight, I'll make sure not to ride with them...

Flights are pretty scarce these days, they aren't that busy to do this for our protection. They still charge enough...

Do not trust the airlines to do what they say. Whatever airline you fly with, bring your own Clorox wipes, and hand sanitizer. Face mask, face shield, and gloves. A small carry-on size portable UV disinfectant light is a plus.
Try not to use the toilet.

They can say what they want as far as not accepting “excuses” for people not wearing a mask, but there are people who can not wear masks for a medical condition, and according to HIPPA, they do not have to share their medical info. No company can compete with or go above HIPPA. I’m not saying that people don’t bend the rules, but HIPPA is a big deal.
