Melting in California…

So I’m back in California to attend my brother’s graduation. Unfortunately (maybe fortunately), my visit is only going to last a few days.

The flight from SEA to LGB was rather nice and relaxing on JetBlue. There was plenty of legroom even for the coach and individual LCDs were a plus. The fact this was also one of the cheapest flights I could find makes it even better.

Almost immediately while exiting the plane, I experienced the heatwave. I’ve been drinking ice water non-stop. The high of today was suppose to be around 104F (that’s 40C for you metric folks) and stepping outside of buildings made me feel like melting ice cream. It was like CA sunlight was my kryptonite. Every time sunlight hits me, I would move slower.

Equipped with unlimited ice water, I just might make it. Maybe…

JetBlue Now Flies SEA to LGB

This is sweet! While searching for flights to fly home for my brother’s graduation, I found out that JetBlue now has a direct flight from Seattle to Long Beach (equidistant as LAX to my house, minus the horrible traffic). I typically fly Alaska Airlines since they’re usually the cheapest (~$300) non-stop flight from SEA to LAX and had consistent quality. I’ve always liked JetBlue with the personal LCD and the quality of service, but was sad when I found out that they didn’t have any flights from Seattle to LA. I even emailed them awhile back voicing my sadness.

Anyway, I just booked a flight back for 4 days in mid-June to attend my brother’s graduation and it came out to only $243! For comparison sake, the cheapest Alaska Airline to LAX was $303. However, Alaska Airlines does have more daily flights between Seattle and LA than JetBlue does.

I think JetBlue and I are going to become much better friends now. 🙂
