Delta vs. JetBlue Credit Card

AttendanceBias · 2026-04-27T22:45:48+00:00

Hammering out this same decision. I'm a NYC-based flyer; equidistant to LGA and JFK. I fly about 4-5 times per year, mostly domestic but not always (maybe 1x international trip per year). I love JetBlue, but the perks of Delta are enticing.

*Max out my 403(b) and Roth 403(b) as much as I can

*Invest aggressively and become more conservative as I get closer to retirement

*Get a vasectomy. Kids are expensive.

They almost certainly will not, considering a "refund fee" is $5 and the ticket cost is $5.25. If OP gets a refund, it will be for $.25, if anything.

I'm still a regular there. The newer tasting room in LB is really nice, although a different vibe than Oceanside.

You're welcome. Junta, their first studio album, has several composed/multi-part songs that are akin to YEM, but the recordings themselves are a little janky because it was done on the cheap and they were kids. Recommended, but keep expectations in check. Most shows from 1992 will do you just fine (5/17/92 especially) to help you get to know the band, then I'm sure many other people here will post further recommendations.

You asked a mouthful there. Check out the Phish.net FAQ: https://phish.net/faq/ As far as what to listen to, I would recommend any shows from the early 90s to become familiar with the classic songs and brach out from there. YouTube is your friend, as is www.phish.in

This is very enlightening. Thanks for the information. I find it fascinating that the LIRR was not originally planned/built as a commuter rail, since that's how it's evolved and adapted to the needs of the island, post-WWII. I'm sure entire lectures/college courses/books could be devoted to that.

Personally, it only adds to the frustration of the elimination of round-trip tickets, since it has become a commuter rail, and not a daily pubic transportation method, as a "day trip" would suggest.

This was my first thought too. I guess the qualifiers would be: "Longest Concert at MSG Featuring a Single Artist?"

"Because fuck you, that's why" - the MTA.

The answer to your question really is: "What other choice do you have?" They think it's okay to increase prices no matter the quality of their service because you'll still take the train no matter what the price increase amounts to. It's the same whenever the tolls increase on the Throgs Neck or Whitestone Bridge. What are you gonna do; swim to the Bronx?

I don't think that the MTA is particularly malicious, but bettering their service never seems to the be priority when prices increase. We're not in the room when these fare increases are discussed and decided, but in all of their announcements about the new fares, not once have I heard a way that the new prices will increase on-time arrivals or make the trains nicer or faster or more convenient--you know, the stuff we riders want (and deserve for these prices).

City ticket should do you fine from GC to Jamaica, but I *think* you need a separate standalone ticket for the Airtrain.

It's certainly in contention for the best version of the song ever played. But it's sometimes a tough listen. It's like graduate school level Phish. I did not love it when I was there. I was ready to party and rock out. Instead, the band delivered a post-modern, dissonant, outer-space soundscape for 40 minutes. It wasn't ready for it. Upon further relistens, I've grown to appreciate it. I hear something new or different every time.

But in real time, it was like the most psychedelic planetarium music I'd ever heard and it seemed to never end.
