C'è una bella differenza tra JetBlue e US!
JetBlue è una low cost che offre snack e bevande GRATIS, 40 canali tv satellitare ed altrettanti radio GRATUITAMENTE, bagagli GRATUITI e ti offre un servizio a bordo che a terra da prima classe. Se fa pagare coperte e cuscini poco importa dal momento che ti fa volare da Orlando a New York (per fare un esempio) con 70$.
US si fa pagare TUTTO (snack e bevande, bagaglio, ecc) ed adesso anche i cuscini vendendo biglietti a tariffe carissime!
In realtà è un "comfort kit" che si può comprare per 7 dollari e riguarda solo i voli domestici:
