B6 tends to be a little last-minute with its promos. They had a "bike fees are waived during July" promo for the Tour de France that I completely would have gone for -- had they announced it before, well, July 1.

Oh why, oh why can't JetBlue fly to Dallas!?! (AA i know but still) Thanks for nothing I think we are the largest market that B6 doesn't serve.

Others match this offer?

Is there any possibility that an of the other airlines might try and follow suit with a deal such as this? At least maybe see a break in fare prices while this promo is running?

JetBlue is the official airline of Cowboy haters as such, no flights to Dallas.

This is a nice deal, especially if they let you do same-day returns. A day trip to NYC from my home is $450 for 3 day advance purchase. I'd bite but will be in Thailand for most of the pass validity period.

It was a joke!

Dallas Cowboys football team. They are either loved or hated. There is no in-between.

A same-day return looks to be OK but same-day city hopping does not.

If one is currently retired, between jobs, and/or has a lot of free time, this is a great deal. Especially if you visit a lot in the Caribbean.

If I wasnt in my last semester of school starting Sept 8th. Id be all about this promotion. Granted my friends who live in Chicago might tire of picking me up, dropping me off, crashing on their couch for a month. I could spend the month at various Caribbean destinations.

Dear Jet Blue - Please add Green Bay as one of your departure cities just from Sept 8 - Oct 8. It would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

How so?

You pay taxes for every trip down there.
You do not get mileage for the travel.
Tickets and pass taxes are not that different.

You'd pay taxes with a revenue ticket or a FF ticket. It is a wash in that regards unless the passes' taxes/fees are higher than a regular ticket. Well you do a couple dummy bookings from the West Coast to Caribbean destinations and you'll see how much it costs us to get down there. If one has a lot of free time, it is worth it.

Because some people would rather save a couple hundred bucks on a R/T ticket instead of earning a couple thousand frequent flier miles.

And they're not even FF miles, they're soon-to-be-outdated TrueBlue 1.0 points.

I do not understand this claim. The taxes are the same for international destinations whether one travels on this pass or on a paid ticket. The difference is in the airfare component. Certainly this pass would be a questionable deal for a single trip somewhere. But if one is willing to make two trips to the Caribbean the $599 will get very close to covering the fare component of the costs. Three trips makes it almost certain.
