Now before I tell you why, I want you to know that I am usually a big fan of Southwest Airlines. In fact, I am STILL a huge fan of Southwest Airlines, however the sale today by JetBlue has made me a fan.
This morning I was at work and I received an email from a LCDR in my office. Shortly after than I received the exact same email from an Ensign in a different office. Later in the day I received that SAME email from a civilian in my office....and what did this email say?
It said in appreciation for all that the military does, during military appreciation month, JetBlue would sell active duty members of the military in the DC area (and one other place) $1 tickets to any location served nonstop.
ONE DOLLAR?!?!?! I KNEW it had to be a joke. I followed the link and found that it was to a legit news source, called the number and discovered that it was TRUE! Well, I didn't want to waste it. I bought a round trip ticket from Dulles to Orlando. Total cost for this round trip? $23 (added some fees, but STILL, that's a CRAZY price to fly with). So, I put in for two days of leave and I'm headed to Orlando. I will be staying at Shades of Green, enjoying Disney World (especially water parks), yes alone, but still, it will be fun! Shades of Green, as far as Disney resort hotels are concerned is very affordable. So that, topped with the fact that Disney is giving out FREE military 5 day passes to all parks until December means I will have a very affordable few days off.
So there you go, JetBlue did a good thing, and I appreciated it.
