Fred Wilson opines that JetBlue has grown "too big for it's britches" at the JFK JetBlue terminal. I would've titled the post "I Still Love JetBlue, but air travel in general really sucks," but that's just me.

The last time I flew JetBlue out of JFK they drove us to an auxiliary terminal for the flight. It wasn't a big deal, but it certainly seemed like temporary overflow housing.

It's not so much JetBlue though that has outgrown its housing at JFK. It's the idea of using JFK as an airport for short-haul flights. I'm no transportation expert, but it seems logical that the tri-state area should be using LaGuardia, White Plains, and Islip as the short-haul domestic airports, and JFK and Newark as the airports for cross-country and international flights. That's basically how they were used in the past (especially JFK) but it seems like the frequency of flights at JFK is causing problems for JetBlue. And given the overcrowded, increasingly expensive state of domestic air travel, that's a really bad thing for an NYC-based traveler like myself.

I have a decent amount of travel through this summer and I'm not looking forward to any of it (the travel part, not the actual destination).

And while we're on the subject of travel, let me confess my love of Kayak.com. It's a comparison site/engine for travel that includes, unlike Orbitz, Expedia, and Travelocity, fares on JetBlue. Their user interface is really intuitive, well-thought-out, and constantly evolving as well (a huge bonus).
