Remember how a JetBlue plane made an emergency landing in Sacramento last month, one that blew two tires and sparked a small fire? Well, the reason for the landing has been revealed. It was due to the plane's parking brake being on at the time of landing. more ›

It's "all airlines, all the time" here on SFist. After the lukewarm-to-good news of JetBlue flying out of SFO, we're greeted with some bad news: Frontier Airlines is vacating the premises--no more "commuter flights" to and from LAX. more ›

Update: So hey! We just got this in our inbox. JetBlue is giving away round-trip tickets to the first 150 people who show up in Union Square tomorrow Saturday (we totally thought today was Friday) dressed up as their favorite New York icon and carrying two or more canned goods to give away to a local food bank. Contest starts at 10 a.m., line starts at 7 a.m. more ›

We know this is very Martha Stewart of us and we'll admit maybe we were a little brain washed on our recent Jet Blue flight, where we got to watch hours of Martha on direct TV (and how excited are we that Jet Blue will be flying out of SFO starting May 3rd? SO excited), but holidays are a great excuse for some crafty activity. So pull out the ugly wicker baskets and peeps. Truth be told we were never huge fans of oversized chocolate bunnies, but we're coveting these faux ones from Jek in the Box, looks like there are only a few left in her Etsy shop, but these would also be really fun to try and make. more ›

As anyone who has done a lot of traveling knows, there are two types of airlines-- there is JetBlue and there is everybody else. Oh, JetBlue, why do we love you? Is it because of actual comfortable seats and actual comfortable space? Direct TV? Low prices? Or because there's no real first class so flying never gives you visions of proletarian revolution? People who start flying JetBlue get a little religious about the airline, praising the company to the heavens and vowing to never fly another airline again. The main problem with JetBlue, though, is that they don't go to a lot of airports. Here, you could get them at Oakland but not at SFO. But not for any longer-- JetBlue will now be serving SFO. And we are stoked. more ›

Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, will be in the street speaking out against what many feel is a dishonest if not outright corrupt administration - including a sizeable contingent from the Bay Area. more ›
