JetBlue selling month of unlimited flights for $599
If you have a month to kill and an itch to fly, check out JetBlue's new deal.
The discount airline is offering a $599 "all-you-can-fly" pass where passengers can book an unlimited number of flights to any of its 56 destinations between Sept. 8 and Oct. 8. The potential stops include, of course, Raleigh-Durham International Airport.
JetBlue's new approach to lure recession-weary travelers has some catches. Customers must book the pass by Aug. 21. Taxes aren't included and a $100 change or cancellation fee applies.
No shows also get hit with a $100 fee and their pass is suspended until it's paid.
But hey, if you have an extra $600+ and some serious vacation time saved up, JetBlue's serves cities across the U.S., as well as in Mexico, South America and the Caribbean. And it has been a quiet hurricane season so far.
Visit JetBlue's Web site for more details.
