PRACTICAL TRAVELER; Flying One Way At a Time
One fellow passenger was a doctor from Pittsburgh, Jet Train's home base, who had come to New York for a one-day conference, paying an introductory fare of $49 each way, plus a $3 fee for Newark Airport. The two others were a couple from New Jersey with a grown child in Heathrow, Fla.; they were planning to stay with her \"as long as she'll keep us.\" They saw a newspaper ad on Wednesday and decided on impulse not to use their Continental senior coupons -- essentially one-way standby tickets for $125 -- on Thursday but to call and get Jet Train's Orlando flight at the introductory fare of $69, plus the $3. They would decide later on a return date, they said. The Jet Train one-day turnaround did not work for the Pittsburgh doctor, David A. Rosenbloom. He flew to Newark at 7:45 A.M. on Jan. 30, planning to return on the 4:30 P.M. flight the same day. But the DC-9, Jet Train's only plane, developed a mechnical problem at Newark. At 9 P.M., after many postponements, the rest of the day's flights -- to Orlando and back and then to Pittsburgh -- were canceled. Dr. Rosenbloom and 20 other passengers, including some from the New York area with children who had hoped to get to Orlando that day, were put up at a hotel at the airport. Jet Train, which is making a point of relatively spacious 34-inch pitch, was comfortable, although a nearly empty flight eases any squeeze. Jet Train sells 103 seats in 21 rows of five, minus two seats in exit rows. Sun Jet sells 115 seats in 23 rows, and the difference is astonishing. Sun Jet's pitch is 27 inches, which put my knees against the seat in front and the tray into my belt buckle. Only five seats on the flight were empty, and space was constricted: I could not bend to get my briefcase from under the seat; a father trying to get to the toilet to diaper a baby could not get past the cart crawling up the aisle and he ended up changing the baby in his and his wife's laps.
