Frequently asked
Which is better in economy: American or JetBlue on BUF-BOS?
Core (JetBlue Airways, A220-300) beats Main Cabin (American Airlines, A321neo) in economy, scoring 5.5/10 vs 3.7. The deciding factor: 32" of pitch vs 30".
What are the best seats in American First Class on BUF-BOS?
Best: Row 1A and 1L are farthest from the galley and offer the most privacy. All seats have direct aisle access in the 1-1 layout. Avoid: Row 5 is closest to the business class cabin and may experience some noise from the galley area between cabins. Only 10 suites total on this narrowbody. The 1-1 configuration is unique for a single-aisle aircraft. Sliding doors on all suites. This fleet is being phased out as the A321XLR enters service.
What are the best seats in American Main Cabin on BUF-BOS?
Best: Rows 11-16 are designated Main Cabin Extra with 35 inches of pitch. Row 11 bulkhead has the most legroom. Exit row offers additional space. Avoid: Last row (22) has limited recline and is near the rear lavatory. Middle seats (B and E) are least desirable. Half of the economy cabin (36 seats) is Main Cabin Extra with additional pitch. Seatback IFE screens with live TV in all economy seats. Only 72 economy seats total, making this a very premium-heavy narrowbody configuration. Exit row seats on the A320/A321 family offer extra legroom but do not recline. The row immediately before the exit also has limited recline due to clearance requirements.
What are the best seats in JetBlue Core on BUF-BOS?
Best: Even More Space rows 1-4 and 12-13 offer 35-38 inches of pitch for an upcharge. Row 12 exit row has the most legroom at 38 inches. A and C seats (2-seat side) avoid the triple block entirely. Avoid: Seat E (center of the 3-seat side) in any row. Row 11 and row 28 do not recline. No Mint on the A220 — this is JetBlue's domestic workhorse replacing the E190 fleet. All 140 seats are the same Collins Meridian product in a unique 2-3 asymmetric layout (no B column). 30 Even More Space seats in rows 1-4 and 12-13 have 35-38 inches of pitch; remaining 110 Core seats have 32 inches. 10.1-inch 1080p seatback screens with 30 live DirecTV channels, HBO, and Showtime.
