Inaugural flights out of JFK and LAX were never on sale. These were reserved for employees, VIPs, media, as well as a couple seats auctioned off with the proceeds going to charity. Two tickets JFK-SFO roundtrip, one night hotel, and two tickets to tomorrow nights launch party in SF went for about $5000 on Ebay.
$5,400 actually. And believe me, there are
NO employees on tomorrow's first flights (except the CEO).
