That is great!!! Sounds like a good deal.

Awesome idea! How long will it be til you can buy all you can fly passes on other airlines? Let's hope this concept catches on.

yipee!! I am out of work.. best opportunity to see some new places and make good of this time off. I couldn't be happier!! :D

Justin,
So far as we know, only Air Canada has a similar unlimited flight pass for North America. But Budget Travel hopes the idea catches on, too.
Thanks for your comment,

Great deal for travelers, I will try to avail this deal.

Think about it guys....
Americans always get attracted to marketing gimmicks ....
Flights are already running full... get a seat ....with so many trying to book a flight

This is a fantastic idea and reminds me of the days of yore when I would ride the rails with my Eurorail pass. You'd be amazed at how much you can see with unlimited travel!

Great! Telco is already free (Skype), travel will be free, electricity and gas will be free and then there will be no jobs since nobody is allowed to make a profit since everyone expects everything to be free including healthcare. Good luck America! Your expectations of socialism will ruin your livelyhood. Soon our woman will be the most sought after prostitutes in the World just like Russia and South America. I realize this is about a great deal on (nearly) free travel but the desperation is ridiculous.

Wake up people, it is not "free" travel. You paid $599. Those calling it free must be the same people who took on mortgages beyond their affordability and who ring up credit card debt on "needs"...helping put us in this current economic mess. It is only a good deal if you can afford it (and if you were going to travel on multiple trips anyway). Will it spur demand? potentially. Is the program a sustainable business model (by JetBlue or all airlines)? Probably not.

Hmmm, interesting reactions to a great, free market offer. Sounds pretty good to me - what's the win for JetBlue in this?
Posted By Steve on August 14, 2009, 2:52 PM
there are lots of people who can take advantage of this offer, i think its great and only wish they flew out of louisville ky. no one said this was free and its not , what it is though is affordable. i happen to have a very flexible job that allows me to travel saturday afternoon to wednesday night so four trips in one month would be a dream

Such harsh reactions. Sounds like somebody should lay off the caffeine. Southwest Airlines had a somewhat similar deal many years ago and we took full advantage of it. Didn't seem a bit socialist at the time except maybe that we got to go socialize with old friends. The old Southwest version was better as you simply purchased 10 one way tickets that you could use anywhere they flew over the course of one year. The Jet Blue version is tough as you have to be sure to make multiple flights in a single 30-day period to make out.

Socialist? Please. This is a purely capitalist offer. Gimmicky, yes. But look at how well buffets do--the quality of the food is usually no better than what you would get at a regular restaurant, but you pay a lot more for it, thinking that you can take advantage of the price by sheer quantity. In reality, most people don't eat the amount or value of food (think: expensive items like lobster) to match or exceed what they paid to get in. How else would buffets continue to stay in business?
Similarly, JetBlue's all-you-can-fly pass is banking on people's spontaneity in thinking that they CAN take the 5-6 trips flights to make the pass worthwhile (since many of JetBlue's flights are already $99). If the individual flights cost more than $99 each, still, people would need to figure how many flights they'd need to take to make the $599 pass worthwhile. Otherwise, they'd have just spent more money than they would have on these flights, and money that they perhaps wouldn't spend if it were not for this deal.
In reality, not many people will have done the math to see if it really would cost less for them to book individual flights rather than get this pass. JetBlue is counting on people to not be able to fly as they had so spontaneously planned, hence the $100 fee it charges for cancellations/changes and no-shows.
