JetBlue Airways tested its new digs at New York JFK Saturday.
"The trial went very well," JetBlue VP redevelopment Rich Smyth tells me in an e-mail. "Feedback was good with some creative suggestions. We have a questionnaire from each participant that we are reviewing now."
Frequent fliers participated in the trial to help the carrier prepare for opening day. Read about some of their experiences in The New York Times.
When T5 opens on October 1, JetBlue will operate around 170 flights from 18 gates, JetBlue VP redevelopment Rich Smyth says. Twenty gates will be in use by Thanksgiving and 26 gates will be available by spring 2009, he adds.
The 26-gate terminal will replace the carrier's use of the 14-gate Terminal 6 and seven temporary hold room gates.
