A fantastic deal for flying inside the US. (My first thought was that this would be an unbelievable deal for a foreign tourist visiting the US. Imagine how much you could see for $599!) but it's true that every time you will leave the DR, you will still have to pay about $90 in tax for the DR, plus US immigration user fee and USDA inspection fees totaling about $12 (most other US taxes will be inclusive in the price of the pass) so about $100 extra for each DR-US leg.

Still, this is a smart way to increase load factors during what is nearly always the slowest travel month of the year. This isn't the first time Jet Blue did something out of the ordinary during slow season to fill seats. About this time last year, they were auctioning seats on their particularly empty flights on Ebay, often selling them for a steal. This is just another example of two airlines, Jet Blue and Spirit, (though very different in their approach and operations) thinking out of the box in order to survive and prosper, while the dinosaurs like AA are running on fumes.

JetBlue announces early end to unlimited pass sale
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 20, 2009





JetBlue Airways Corp said it ended its sale for one-month, unlimited travel passes when the passes sold out before the promotion was to expire Friday, Reuters reported.

The airline was offering passes for $599 that allowed travel to any of JetBlue’s 56 destinations between Sept. 8 and Oct. 8 on an unlimited basis.

The airline said it capped the number of passes so that customers who bought the pass would be able to find seats on the flights they wanted, the article reported.
