JetBlue is offering $599 all you can travel

September must be a pretty slow month for airlines, or JetBlue might be looking to bring out the frugal people. The reason I say this is because JetBlue just began offering a $599 plus taxes “all you can jet” fare for September 8th through October 8th.

This seems like a good deal if you live close to an airport that JetBlue flies into and are able to travel a lot during a month. If you were a student taking off for the semester this would be a great deal. You could fly everywhere you wanted to for just over $600.

According to the terms of the offer, someone who purchases this pass can fly to any of JetBlue’s 56 destinations with no seat limitations or black out dates.

The only problem with this is that JetBlue has already slashed fares to around $100 one way, so many travelers would have to take 3 round trips or 6 to 7 one way trips to break even and many people simply aren’t able to travel that often during the course of a one month period. This would be a much better deal if it were to take place over the course of two months.

When you buy the ticket, it includes all fees and taxes unless you book within 3 days of departure, then taxes and fees total around $100.

Airline equities analyst Bob McAdoo said, “This is a way to get people to pay attention, with publicity that doesn’t cost the company much. They’re doing this at a time when there are probably a lot of seats available anyway.”
