Omg omg. They promised they'd do it again, and they are! We're hyperventilating over here at Jaunted HQ as Jetblue has just announced the second All-You-Can-Jet Pass. This sweet ticket, available for purchase now and only valid for flights between September 7 and October 6, comes in two plans: the AYCJ-7 for $699 and gets you onboard any Jetblue flight within that time period, seven days a week, or the AYCJ-5 for $499, which gets you onboard any Jetblue flight from Sunday-Thursday (no Friday & Sunday flying).

The original pass, announced almost exactly a year ago this time (so technically, we should've been expecting this), was only $599, but this year's two-plan option offers greater budget flexibility even as it takes away schedule flexibility. Whatever it takes to get you out there and flying around! ]]> JetSetCD 2010-08-17T08:21:23-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2010/3/5/13051/20334

Happy Friday! Oman Air is officially the first airline to get long-haul in-flight WiFi up and running on one of its planes (Lufthansa's abandoned FlyNet of years ago doesn't really count).

Oman Air, which is already known for having some of the poshest airplane bathrooms, has just added to their in-flight amenities with all sorts of fun connectivity. The excellent announcements comes after a successful first flight with the WiFi onboard an Airbus A330 between Muscat and London-Heathrow. It might not be a super long-haul, 13+hour flight, but it's better than nothing.

The service is from OnAir, a company that hasn't worked to supply any US carrier with in-flight WiFi, although maybe they should think about it. Plus, the WiFi is joined by Oman Air's GSM/GPRS abilty, which allows passengers with the proper GSM/GPRS phones to make phone calls and even text message from 35,000 feet up. SWEEET.

While we patiently await the return of the promised All-you-Can-Jet Pass for 2010, there's already a way you can get a jumpstart on the unlimited travel action by becoming a fan of Jetblue on Facebook.

Mashable points out that although Jetblue has an impressive Twitter follower crowd of over 1.5 million, their Facebook numbers are sad at 73,000. To fix this, the airline has launched a Facebook-only sweepstakes, whereby you become their fan and enter for a chance to win free flights, free vacations, or an All-You-Can-Jet Pass for one year. One year? That's quite a bit different from their one month offering with the original AYCJ pass. Will the one year pass be an option for 2010? ]]> JetSetCD 2009-12-14T12:05:43-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/12/3/91231/4394

Roll up your sleeping mat and begin hoarding the snack-size bags of chex mix—Jetblue has kind of announced that a second wave of the now infamous All-You-Can-Jet Pass is coming in the future.

Yesterday, during the Jetblue corporate retreat at West Point, a few veteran AYCJers were invited to talk about their experiences using the pass, which got them all the Jetblue flights they could handle between September 8 and October 8 for only $599 (plus some international taxes, if you flew out of country). Although it seems like just yesterday that the pass ended and the #AYCJ tweets petered out on Twitter, Jetblue execs are already prepping for the remix by promising a free, second AYCJ pass to these seven founding All-You-Can-Jetters. ]]> JetSetCD 2009-12-03T09:28:15-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/10/8/81933/7680

There were the good times and there were the bad, but most of all, there were the sleep-deprived times; today marks the end of the first-ever All-You-Can-Jet Pass from Jetblue. After today, the mini-population of AYCJers who've been residing in the skies this past month will return to solid ground, and to their own beds, although they may still dream for days that they're sleeping behind a departures board.

There's no doubt that Jetblue's $599 pass was a resounding success, earning them millions of dollars in publicity while they filled seats on flights that would have otherwise gone empty. Wired's Terminal Man was just one of the AYCJers who became a Jetblue ambassador by default, as everyone from NBC to local news stations to Wired readers came to visit him during layovers. We even find ourselves looking forward to reading the tweets of AYCJers, and now have to break our addiction to this, some of the best and most humorous twittering out there. ]]> JetSetCD 2009-10-08T09:33:56-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/10/7/8242/52281

It's hard to believe that tomorrow is the final day that Jetblue's All-You-Can-Jet Pass is valid. While the AYCJers return to solid ground after tomorrow, they now have a new option for extending the fun, if they're willing to very adventurous. David Neeleman, who originally formed Jetblue and now has his own LCC based in Brazil, is inspired by the AYCJ Jetblue model, and has announced the Passaporte Azul from Azul.

Do you know how genius the All-You-Can-Jet Pass was? Well, the Passaporte Azul is possibly even more genius: for 499 BRL ($285), you can fly Azul's route map just as freely as you did Jetblue's, only this time you'll be hopping through a country wholly excited by Rio's Olympic win and full of cheap and vibrant places to discover.

More details, after the jump. ]]> JetSetCD 2009-10-07T08:38:36-05:00 Search Jaunted string http://www.jaunted.com/search/
