JetBlue has completed removing a row of seats from all its aircraft, adding two inches of legroom behind row 10. Placement of the emergency exits is the main driver of unchanged legroom at the front of the plane.

JetBlue’s pitch is now competitive with American’s More Room Throughout Coach and United’s Economy Plus (which is limited to the front of their aircrafts, and limited to full fare or elite passengers except on a catch as catch can at the airport basis). It’s a superior product to coach on Continental, Northwest, Delta, USAirways, etc.

For all but the elite traveler who will be upgraded to first class anyway, JetBlue is increasingly a superior product when its route network coincides with a passenger’s travel needs.
