Free Snacks are Good

We just returned from a short happy trip to Chicagoland (wedding! baby! yay!), which means there are more places we get to write about - both old favorites and new discoveries.  Going to Chicago these days doesn't really feel like a vacation since we lived there for so long but we really enjoy our return trips to the city.

We kicked off our trip with a very late arrival at the airport (so late that they printed late on our baggage tag and we just made it to board), something neither of us wishes to repeat.  After finally settling in to our seats and calming down from the stress, we got to enjoy snack time on the plane! 

Snacks, I'm guessing over Pennsylvania/Ohio, but my LiveMap didn't work

Since we were flying JetBlue, that meant we got free snacks. And not just a small cookie, but real snacks. Everyone in the rows around us stocked up on multiple drinks and bags of chips (dinnertime flight).  I opted for water and iced tea (a decent sized Arizona can!), along with sea salt Popcorners and Fritos (which are new to JetBlue), while A got water and Coke Zero with caramel Popcorners and Terra Blues.  (On the way back (night flight so no pictures), we pretty much got the same thing except for the snacks - A got caramel Popcorners and I got Fritos.)

I love flying JetBlue for a number of reasons, but the unlimited free snacks is a big plus when domestic flights usually means nothing but expensive (and not great) food. It's much more like the international airlines which still feel like you are entitled to eat something real with your ticket price. Go JetBlue!
