No JetBlue All-You-Can-Jet Pass for 2011, You Say? Do a DIY AYCJ!

June 21, 2011 at 2:01 PM | by | Comments (0)

The Jaunted HQ flag flies at half-mast today since yesterday, when JetBlue revealed they'd not be bringing back the popular All-You-Can-Jet Pass for 2011. This shocked some of the country's (and world's) dedicated budget travelers and they collectively cried a single tear, erased penciled-in plans for fall, and commiserated on Twitter. @Andrewhyde's remark on Twitter yesterday even made a Top Tweet: "All You Can Jet was the most innovative thing out of the airline industry since trying to be profitable."

Although we're still holding the hope that the AYCJ Pass will return in some form in the future*, for now there are ways to get your travel on and do a sort-of DIY AYCJ:

· Follow @JetBlueCheeps
All former AYCJ-ers should already know this, but JetBlue's deals twitter churns out awesome last-minute fares nearly every Tuesday. Since we know some flyers used their AYCJ passes to travel each weekend and still work somewhat normally, Cheeps are for you. Best of all, you don't have to plan much ahead. Last week, Cheeps had $29 from Las Vegas to Long Beach or $69 from JFK to West Palm Beach. Not too shabby.

Oh, the Humanity! JetBlue Kills the All-You-Can-Jet Pass for 2011

June 20, 2011 at 12:29 PM | by | Comments (0)

Can you hear that? If you listen closely to the wind, you'll notice the faint sound of hundreds and hundreds of traveler hearts breaking, as JetBlue today announced that they will not be bringing back the All-You-Can-Jet Pass for 2011. Sad face to the max!

All-You-Can-Jet (or AYCJ as it's fondly called), began in the fall of 2009, when JetBlue shocked and delighted by offering a month of unlimited travel around their route network for $599 (plus international taxes, if you island-hopped). We even remember the day it was announced—August 12, 2009—aka the day we pretty much hyperventilated through. Then, last year, the pass returned with more options: $699 to travel any day of the AYCJ month, or $499 to stick to the 5 off-peak days. People still went bonkers for it.

But now, an email has hit the inboxes of former AYCJers, letting them know the sad 2011 decision:

The Last Day of AYCJ: The Foreigner Out to 'See America' Speaks

October 6, 2010 at 7:23 PM | by | Comments (2)

My AYCJ experience was different from that of many others because a) I am British and b) I wanted to use this as an excuse to see parts of America that I knew I never would otherwise. I remember reading about AYCJ last year and thinking, “If they do it again next year, and you are in America, you will never forgive yourself if you don’t do it”. So I did.

The timing wasn't ideal—I had to work (remotely) right through the month and, of course, I ended up having more work to do than I had in the past three months combined. So there were a lot of 5am starts, and a devastating Saturday night spent chained to my computer in New Orleans. But even though that meant I had to spend longer in each place and see fewer cities, I still managed a fair deal.

The Last Day of AYCJ: The Most Boring All You Can Jetter Speaks

October 6, 2010 at 4:32 PM | by | Comments (0)

I bought the $499 AYCJ-5 pass back in August with the explicit goal of becoming the most boring AYCJ'er the skies have ever seen. Huh? Well, the pass was purchased for my business travel. With the idea of condensing two months of travel into two weeks, I had big plans to first save money and second, create more time.

The saving money part was easy to document. I knew that in the months of September I needed to travel from RDU to Boston, to New York twice, and to Las Vegas. A quick web airfare search back in August showed me that buying either many one-way trips or one big multi-destination trip was going to cost me somewhere between $900 - $1200 depending on a variety of factors (airline, times of flights, day of flights, etc).

Since JetBlue's pass was going to save me approximately $600, the decision to buy it was a no-brainer. Furthermore, buying the pass would allow me more flexibility in scheduling my travel, and the ability to come back home for a couple days in between my two main trips. Even when I added in the cost of renting a car at one of my destinations, the AYCJ-5 was saving me over $500.

A Connected Traveler's Dream: Rows Upon Rows of Shiny Plugs at JFK

Where: JFK International Airport [map], New York, NY, United States
September 23, 2010 at 4:54 PM | by | Comment (1)

If you're on the All-You-Can-Jet JetBlue pass like several of the Jaunted staff (disclosure: who totally all paid in full for their own), you'll undoubtedly end up making a connection through JFK this season. Even if you're not on a pass, but will probably find yourself moving through New York, it behooves you to know about this row of plugs and computers, in the back of the terminal between gates 23 and 24. Thanks to new airline regulations, after all, you might find yourself spending quite a bit of time here if you spend any time at all.

Rows like this one, which are bathed in JetBlue's free and fast WiFi, are actually found in several places throughout JetBlue's T5 terminal. There are two just on this side of the structure, along the row of gates here. This one is placed far enough back, though, that it almost always has empty seats. Plus if you squint your eyes toward the back, and focus on that small Samsung charging station, you can just make out the bar that's directly behind it. By virtue of also being in the back of the terminal, is also often deserted. Useful!

So don't be afraid of moving through the whole terminal before posting up and plugging in. It's not like the pace of flights leaving JFK is exactly overwhelming, so you should have plenty of time to make it back to your gate from just about anywhere in T5.

Taking Off on JetBlue's AYCJ Pass: A First Flight Report

September 13, 2010 at 4:50 PM | by | Comments (2)

With the JetBlue All-You-Can-Jet month officially underway, it was time for us to start using our pass. We got our first chance on a direct Long Beach-LGB to Washington Dulles-IAD flight last week, and it turns out that getting to fly anywhere in the country on 3 days notice is kind of awesome.

We walked into LGB after a relatively painless morning Supershuttle ride from Jaunted's West Coast HQ in Los Angeles. Long Beach isn't so much an airport as a pair of doublewide trailers connected by a couple of plaster walls, which has good and bad aspects. Advantage? Short lines. Disadvantage? Very few actually, though we always get a little weirded out when we have to walk 5 minutes across a tarmac to get to our plane. Everything considered, it probably took us as long to get through the check-in line as it took us to get from the gate to the plane. Which, again, was kind of awesome.

Live from T5: JetBlue's All You Can Jet Pass Kicks Off with a New Airplane

Where: JFK International Airport [map], New York, NY, United States
September 7, 2010 at 1:35 PM | by | Comments (0)

We're biting into a blue donut as we write this, live from the central food court area of JetBlue's Terminal 5 at New York-JFK Airport. We're here not only to see off the many free-spirited folk who leave today for a month of unlimited flights on their All You Can Jet Passes, but also to see off three of our own to their journeys.

The kickoff for the second annual AYCJ pass began with free Dunkin Donuts, AYCJ-branded flight jackets, pins, luggage tags and a big announcement from the airline: they'd dedicated a new plane to the AYCJers, many of whom already flew in this morning from other JetBlue cities on their AYCJ passes, just to attend the JFK party. The plane, an Airbus A320, is the first JetBlue plane to sport the new tail design, a blue-and-orange stripey deal simply called "The Barcode." Expect to see it on more new planes soon! What you won't be seeing anywhere else however, is the special name of this one—"All Blue Can Jet".

Last week, we rolled out an awesome contest to send one of you, our equally awesome (if not more so) readers off and around the country on one of the infamous and sold-out JetBlue All You Can Jet Passes. Over the course of the contest's two days, you all left a barrage of comments to enter, some 450+ of them.

Your comments were inspiring, enlightening and some, plain hilarious. It's also funny that a few think JetBlue flies to Europe, when you'll only be able to get as far as Bermuda.

Sun Country Airlines Introduces Their Own $499 Unlimited Flight Pass

August 20, 2010 at 8:29 AM | by | Comments (0)

This week was one certainly filled with airfare-related emotions. We were so pumped to see JetBlue back with their unlimited All-You-Can-Jet Pass, but were crushed when it sold out in only like a couple of days. Sure there are other ways to get one, but unfortunately we’re too old to score a freebie.

If you just need to get around the country this fall there is one other option, but it definitely is a little lacking compared to what JetBlue has to offer. Sun Country Airlines is offering up their own version of an unlimited airline pass for $499; however, Sun Country's destinations are a little more limited than those of the airline known for blue chips and free seatback television.

Just share your story here, at DoSomething.org, by August 25 for a chance to share the all-you-can-jet love.

Jetblue's $699 All-You-Can-Jet Pass Sells Out (Updated)

August 19, 2010 at 9:36 AM | by | Comments (3)

[Update at 3pm] Jetblue has just announced on their Twitter that all AYCJ passes are now sold out.

It was only a couple days ago that we awoke to the awesome news that Jetblue was bringing back last year's popular All-You-Can-Jet Pass for a second round, and today the dawn brought with the announcement that the $699 AYCJ-7 pass has already sold out.

We can't exactly recall how long it took Jetblue to sell through their one-level, $599 AYCJ passes last year, but it sure wasn't less than two days. This just goes to show that people out there are totally into signing themselves up for marathon travel when the price is right. It also probably helps that those who blazed the AYCJ trail last year so thoroughly enjoyed their plane-hopping that their positive tweets, Facebooks and blogs sell this year's passes better than any campaign.
