I Flew on JetBlue’s First Flight From LAX to the Bahamas — Here’s What It Was Like

West coasters just got a new way to get to paradise.

The flight will operate once weekly.

With a 7 a.m. departure time, I woke up bright and early for the Saturday flight.

In a one-on-one interview, Hildebrandt talked about the new partnership and route.

I also got to order 3 out of the 5 small plates listed for the main event.

I ordered the pineapple, bread pudding, and frittata.

You could also get a side of chicken sausage on request.

So I, well, requested it.

The landing was smooth, and everyone was clapping as we completed the first trip from LA.
