JetBlue Hosts Thanksgiving Football Party
JetBlue offers all the comforts of home,
and we’ll even bring the beer
All-leather seats; your own TV;
FOX and CBS coverage of the games;
unlimited snacks; and a free beer
NEW YORK (November 21, 2006) – In addition to serving a heaping helping of low-fares, JetBlue Airways Corporation (Nasdaq: JBLU) today announced that customers traveling on Thanksgiving will be offered a complimentary beer or beverage of their choice (a) to accompany their comfy, all-leather recliner and personal seat-back television (equipped with its own remote control). Beer completes the American holiday tradition for most flying football fans as they savor the best dish of the day: 36 channels of live DIRECTV® programming (served up by our satellite dish on every plane), including CBS coverage of the Miami Dolphins at Detroit Lions game at 12:30 p.m. ET and the 3:30 p.m. ET Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Dallas Cowboys game on FOX.
“JetBlue customers can enjoy the comfort of home in the skies this Thanksgiving with a front-row seat to the game and a free beer,” said Eric Brinker, JetBlue’s Director of Brand Management and Customer Experience. “Our customers deserve the best, whether it's a second helping of snacks, a cornucopia of inflight entertainment choices or friendly, award-winning service. It’s our way of saying ‘Thank You’ and providing the best possible flying experience every day of the year."
JetBlue’s snack lineup features Terra Blues® Potato Chips, the official snack of JetBlue, made from naturally blue potatoes. In lieu of traditional rolling carts, JetBlue’s snacks and beverages are hand-delivered by friendly inflight crewmembers to allow Customers the freedom to move about the cabin. As an added bonus, the snacks are free and unlimited, and requests for seconds or thirds are always encouraged.
