Check in online, print your boarding passes at home, and check your bags at the curb. I know this isn't an option for everyone, but it saves a lot of time.

FWIW -- JetBlue is a great airline, they have customer service down to a fine art.

Did they tell you the delay was because 4 employees did not show up for work? 2 hours is odd, especially with security delays being what they are. However, I have taken international flights that had long check-ins. Hope you had a nice vacation.

I have noticed most check in desks are not completely staffed anymore as most people check in online or at a kiosk and just use the bag drop line.

Let's see...30 min at gate, 15 minutes through security. Good on you to show up at the airport nearly 3 hours ahead of time! Since you showed up so early, I guess it was either stand in line or sit at the gate for all that time - its a wash.
