That's pretty good. Now if I could only get a month off work...

it might be worth it if you can do a transcon every week for a month. you do get 35 TB points for the entire promotion.

Personally, I'm shooting for a different city everyday. 57 cities, 30 days. I think I can do it.

I could, unfortunately not with less than 30 days' notice ...

this is such a good deal. If I could even get a week off of work I would make this worthwhile

perfect for what I need. I am going with a buddy to the US. And we will now fly to a city a day!

I love this promotion but JetBlue must me hurting for cash if they are doing this.

I remember Eastern Airlines had a somewhat similar promotion 30 years ago.

Which is less than 3x one-way transcons booked online. It is a horrible deal for Mileage Running but a good deal if you have time from September 8 - October 8 and want to have some fun with jetBlue's route map.

Also being discussed in the B6 forum (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/jetblue-trueblue/984447-jetblue-all-you-can-jet-pass-new-post.html) and here (http://www.wanderingaramean.com/2009/08/how-much-blue-would-jetter-jet-if.html).

wow, this works great for football season..

I can get games at SEA (washington), @SFO/OAK(Cal) @LAX (home games),.. three games for $200 each.. I don't think I can beat that anywhere else and non stop to boot..

i need to look into this

anyone know the upgrade fee

what upgrade?? :rolleyes:
the only upgrade could be to the "more leg room" seats :D

How are loads on B6? It does require 3 days notice so it does sound confirmed.

If I lived near a B6 hub it might be a good deal, but I prefer to not connect trough JFK if I don't have to.

EML seats are $40 each way on transcons, $25 on mid-cons and $10 on short hops.

I found a 60 hour run that covers 11,000 miles and would be a lot of fun. The only problem would be taxes as much of it is international. I have to look for better domestic routes.

Their network on the west coast is pretty weak. Makes it hard to piece anything too fun together.

I wonder if this is this going to include connections with Cape Air or is it just JetBlue aircraft.

No codeshares or interline flights. B6 metal only.

I bet they feature the most proficient "power user" after the promotion ends. Of course, it will be a Flyertalker. :D

don't know if this is already evident, but accoding to the True Blue web site, the new program will give points based on dollars spent, not segments, so if you spend $599 for an unlimited ticket, but then take 50 segments, you will get true blue points for the money, not the segments.....might that make the offer slightly less appealing if you are using it for MR?

I apologize if this was already addressed....

I'm doing the math on this one right now. It seems like it works with my scheduled travel for the month and would be a fun way to get around the country.

Anybody think the likelihood of others (such as UA for me in Chicago), rolling out a similar product is greater than 0?

There is no chance a legacy carrier would do this, they offer to many flights. Many people spend $600 on a single ticket with legacy carriers.

This should NOT be seen as a mileage run. It is a fixed earning of 35 old points. The dollar value there is pretty horrible. It will earn zero new points.

But it could be fun.

Very, very slim, but not zero. If it happened, it would be much more similar to Air Canada's "flight passes" (which run more like $3000 a month) or the three alliances' RTW/continent passes, which offer a set number of coupons for a fixed price.

Air Canada had a similar promotion about 1.5 years ago. The Winter/Spring Gateway pass :)

ETA: But you were only allowed to fly tuesday/saturday/sunday, not everday

This pass is great news for travelers, especially those in BOS and NYC area. I wish at least Southwest came up with something like that, which is not very likely since I think that anything similar would take a long time for internal bureaucracies to approve.

I wouldn't count on much more than zero, but there's certainly no harm in hoping... or watching for that matter.

"You may only book one flight per city per day; if a violation of this policy is found, JetBlue will honor only the last booking made and cancel the customer's other bookings from that city on that day."

What does this mean?? One flight per CITY?? per DAY??

If I fly SFO-LGB and LAX-JFK on the same day, is it allowed??

Can you do connections??

Yes, you can do connections. It means you can't do something like NYC-ORD ORD-NYC NYC-BOS on the same day.

No same-day round trips, then? Sounds like you must stay overnight in a different city each day.

You get a flat 35 points, and these are points in the old program. If you already have 65 old points, great. If you have zero, not so great. Because the old points do NOT transfer to the new program. You can transfer points back from the new program to the old, but the exchange rate is not very favorable.

I halfway expect JetBlue to relent within a few months and allow old points to be transferred to new. If they don't, you won't get a lot of value from those 35 points.

Nevertheless, $600 for a month of unlimited last-seat-availability travel is outstanding.

Round trip should be fine, as long as you don't depart twice from the same city in one day.

Thanks travfar... but now that I got my answer, a new question arises: what happens if I miss my connection because my first flight was delayed for uncontrollable reasons? Or if my FLL-LGB flight on September 8 is cancelled and I autmatically miss my flight on September 9 LGB-JFK. Do I have to pay the $100 no-show fee??

The rules say:

A customer traveling on a Pass is subject and entitled to all provisions of JetBlue’s Contract of Carriage except those regarding fare refundability rules, Bill of Rights compensation, and denied boarding compensation. To the extent these Terms conflict with the Contract of Carriage, these Terms shall apply.

So the contract of carriage says I will not get compensation for the cancelation, but would they change my next flight without penalty? Hopefully yes.

I know I have too many questions, but hopefully they will be answered before people buy the All You Can Jet Pass!! I am planning on using the pass as much as I can (traveling on many B6 flights) so I don't want to end up paying a lot of money for uncontrollable delays and cancelations.

I will also call B6 to get this questions answered (hopefully) and post them here!!

terms and conditions say exactly that: " Booking multiple flights departing from the same city on the same day is prohibited, and any such bookings will be cancelled with the exception of the most recently booked flight."

Hi, I've moved this thread from Mileage Run Deals to JetBlue because it's not much of a miles discussion in the thread.
I have requested the thread be merged with the similar thread already in your B6 forum.

However, the Mileage Run Deals forum retains this thread's redirect link until this offer expires, August 21.
