Jetblue's All-You-Can-Jet Pass Ends Today, But The Tweets Will Last A Lifetime

October 8, 2009 at 9:33 AM | by JetSetCD | 0 Comments

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.

Although the return to life as usual is bittersweet for the jetters, Jetblue isn't putting a stopper in this magic bottle; they hinted this morning that this could only be the first, and not the last, AYCJ Pass. In the grand scheme of airlines, it is already spawning imitators, as yesterday Brazil's Azul announced their own $285 "Passporte Azul."

While we all enjoy lovely fantasies of what we'd do while flying around Brazil for a month, especially now that they're all energized by the Olympics win, let's also reflect on a month that was truly eye-opening for commercial aviation. We mean—who knew that Chicago-O'Hare has an airport dentist, or that baggage closets make such nice bedrooms? For a list of the blogs, facebooks and twitter accounts of those whose endured the month of unlimited Jetblue travel, go here.
