JetBlue Offers All-You-Can-Fly Monthly Pass for $599

Share

(Newser) – This could set off an interesting price war: JetBlue today began selling a $599 pass for all the flights you can handle between Sept. 8 and Oct. 8, reports Bloomberg. The idea is to try to keep their planes full once the peak summer season winds down. The offer's good for all 56 cities served by the airline, which has seen a 4.6% dropoff in traffic of late.

Other than cheap air fairs I don't know why anyone would want to fly jet blue or southwest . Because speaking from experience riding on one of their flights lets one know what it feels like to be a sardine. Reply

i gotta say, WD56 is right, it's not like any of the airlines have much leg room. as for southwest, i quite enjoy them, they don't waste time, don't charge baggage, and they're inexpensive. And my jetblue experience, i'd do it again in a heartbeat. Makes me realize i'd never fly US Airways, United or Delta again if i can avoid it really.

It's transport. To pay more for (slightly) more comfort for a few hours is crazy - and only happens because so many people fly on OPM (Other People's Money).

You're going to feel like a sardine on any airline if you ride coach.
