JetBlue Sample Sale

JetBlueSampleSaleAnother novel approach by JetBlue – a “Sample Sale”.  Basically the concept is twofold

  1. Its based around the idea of clothing samples which are usually one size only (made for models) and you need to be lucky to be able to squeeze into them – in this case flights are Tuesdays & Wednesdays between March 10 & April 1.  So if you can squeeze your holiday break into those time periods, there’s a real bargain.
  2. Its a sampler – as in a low cost way to try JetBlue

Enough of the ideas behind it, what’s the price?  Well NY to Bemuda – $69 each way.  NY JFK to Orlando $59 each way.
