I always wondered why Airbus never put full winglets on its A320 family, surely the wingtip fences were not as effective. But now that they're on there they're ugly as hell lol

It's not about the look .... It's about the benefits

BRING BACK THE KJFK/KLGA OBSERVATION DECKS
Shots are really great guys. Winglets look good on any aircraft, except for those really small ones on some biz jets.

Not if you are the JetBlue CFO:
“I’m excited,” said Mark Powers, JetBlue Chief Financial Officer. “But I’m not excited that when the plane flies to San Francisco, its going to save us $568.75. No, no, I’m not excited about that. Nor am I excited about the fact that this airplane will save, conservatively, $350,000 a year. Nah, that doesn’t excite me either. And actually, once the whole fleet is retro fitted, were going to save $45 million a year, but that doesn’t excite me either. What really excites me, this airplane looks really cool. Winglets complete this aircraft.”
what next, A310, A300, and A380s with sharklets?

I love the sharklets, but they have their downside. They make the plane three feet wider on each side. There are some cities in the JetBlue network that will have to get very creative with their gate space to accommodate the A320's now.
