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.

Jetblue's All-You-Can-Jet-Pass Starts Today; Follow Along With These Travelers

September 8, 2009 at 11:24 AM | by JetSetCD | 1 Comment

Today is the day we have been waiting for since Jetblue announced in mid-August that they'd be selling an "All-You-Can-Jet" Pass for $599 for one month of unlimited travel on their routes; it's the first day of the thirty valid for travel on the pass. Somebody break out the bugle and play "Reveille" please so these jetters have a proper send-off?

Since the pass started selling like hotcakes, we've watched Facebook groups, Twitters and various other social media networks pop up to rally around those taking part in it. They are the AYCJ-ers, and their adventures begin now.

To follow the spontaneous folks—including one guy who refuses to leave the airports during his thirty day of non-stop travel—we've compiled a list of All-You-Can-Jet groups to follow:

Jetblue's All-You-Can-Jet Pass As Social Media Movement

August 20, 2009 at 9:29 AM | by JetSetCD | 5 Comments

Did you snag one of the much-coveted All-You-Can-Jet Passes from Jetblue? If you did, congratulations and we want to hear all about it once you begin traveling in a few weeks. If you didn't, sorry but it's too late since Jetblue says that demand was way higher than they ever hoped, and therefore they ended sales of the pass early, closing it yesterday instead of August 21.

Ever since the pass was announced on August 12, the country (and aviation fiends like ourselves) have gone crazy over it, mapping dream routes in our heads and attempting to justify taking a month off of work. Some are actually doing it, like Seth Miller, an IT consultant whom Time describes as an "aerophile." He's mainly interested in the actual flying and airport visiting, and so, during one weekend, he'll fly from "New York to Ponce, Puerto Rico back to New York to Las Vegas to Long Beach, Calif. to Portland, Ore. back to Long Beach to Chicago to New York to Aguadilla, Puerto Rico and back to New York one last time."
