Jim Cramer Favors United Airlines Over JetBlue

By Syeda Seirut Javed | January 22, 2026, 9:59 AM

JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:JBLU) is one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s radar. A caller asked if the stock is worth owning, and Cramer commented:

Do I want to own the stock? I think United Airlines is amazing. This guy Scott Kirby, I want, I’m like, he’s like so smart. I mean, I gotta tell you, that guy is dynamite. But you can’t fly there, just because the stock’s up, but you can buy the stock.

JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:JBLU) provides air transportation services and flies to around 100 destinations. Cramer mentioned the stock during the January 28, 2025, episode, and said:

There’s still some laggard, haggard companies out there that can act like skunks at a profits party. That’s what JetBlue was today with its terrible earnings and outlook that caused that stock to lose over 25% of its value in a single session. Still, one more reason why I always like to say I’d rather own shares in the worst cruise line than the best airline.

It should be noted that since the above comment was aired, the company’s stock is down by over 8%.
