jb1Nobody can say jetBlue lacks either a sense of humor or creativity.  They recognise that many people don’t fly jetBlue and even though they’re expanding routes, passengers can’t always fly with them.  So they designed a series of products to assist those poor people who have to fly with another airline – in typical jetBlue style.
