Last week we blogged on Pepsi’s departure from the rather staid world of high viz TV and print advertising in dumping agency BBDO. The brand, however, couldn’t have had a quicker baptism in the modern twitterverse than the backlash from it’s rather ill-thought out suicide themed advertisements (death of a calorie).

US low cost airline JetBlue have launched a promotion selling flights on eBay. Visit their eBay Store: stores.ebay.com/JetBlueAirways JetBlue are offering no reserve auctions on flights and packages. So far there are already plenty of bidders on all the flights listed, so I don't think you will find any bargain basement fares here. Points for JetBlue though for trying something different.

JetBlue Discount Airline Tickets Going in for the Kill ShotWith Delta in bankruptcy we see the more successful discount air carriers going in to the kill. JetBlue is expanding, buying planes and opening routes while fuel costs are at a record high and other airlines are in bankruptcy. Delta and Northwest are both jettisoning some of their aircraft from their fleets, closing some routes and giving away some gates at some of the busiest airports.Because JetBlue’s cost structure is lower and it operates in a hybrid model, rather than the standard spoke and hub routing structure it can fly for less. By having cheaper fairs it has consistently had fuller flights. Their hybrid point-to-point and larger Hub and Spoke model at its largest airport markets it is able to get the benefit of maximum

Happy Hump Day Everyone! I can't believe it's only Wednesday. Also, belated birthday to Scott, sorry I missed your birthday celebration, I was stuck in Chicago for some extra meetings.Speaking of Chicago, I think I neglected to mention something pretty exciting (or at least to me). Starting on May 1st, Jetblue is going to be flying direct between Boston and Chicago. w00t!That means more leg room and tvs to watch on my countless trips to Chicago for work. And also, if I do end up sticking with American, then at least a healthy dose of competition might help to keep the pricing reasonable.Jetblue's also going to be to be flying to New Orleans starting May 1.

Best,

I’ve experimented a bit with using Twitter for direct traffic and I think it can be useful if you are sending the right message in your “tweets”. JetBlue has 522 people following them on Twitter, with some of them probably getting updates by cell phone.
Southwest Air also has a Twitter feed, but they have it blocked unless you request to follow them. Why make it more difficult for people to follow your Twitter updates?
By: Scott Stadler Do you fly JetBlue Airways on a frequent basis? Do you have excellent credit? If either of these questions is answered with a resounding yes, the JetBlue Card from American Express might just be the credit card opportunity of a lifetime. However, if the answer to either of these questions is no –please read on for details – but there might be more practical and better suited options available in this scenario.What Rewards are Offered by the JetBlue Card from American Express?For practically every dollar spent with the JetBlue Card from American Express, one Award Dollar is earned. Some purchases, such as entertainment, travel, leisure, and dining even earn Double Award Dollars.Once 200 reward dollars are accumulated, 1 TrueBlue point is then awarded. 100 TrueBlue points are redeemable for one round trip flight with JetBlue Airways.

The morning after a 9-hour ordeal with JetBlue, in which you are not waking up in your intended destination, kind of feels like a hang-over.

Sit around and cry about it?If you've ever had my mom's cooking - maybe; but not when you're in a city like New York. Before I go out and find something to do with my Saturday in the city, I wanted to take one last moment to vent about my first and last experience with JetBlue before I completely leave that day in the past.JetBlue play-by-play:1) Flying to Charlotte on JetBlue instead of to Asheville on Delta because flights to Asheville were elevated due to Belle Chere.2) Check in at JetBlue counter after 3 p.m.3) Wait in line for a salad with Mr. Cooper and eat near Gate 9.4) Flight delayed to 5:15 p.m. from original departure time of 4:45 p.m.5) No big deal; continue reading

Discount airline carrier, JetBlue has stated that they will be showing their appreciation for Independence Day this year. Passengers on their cheap flights will get to enjoy American inspired refreshments and snacks during July. Their airline refreshments will include red and white wines and American colored snacks. They will serve "Terra's Stripes and Blues Vegetable Chips" that will be made up of red, white and blues. If you have not bought tickets home for the Fourth of July, it is not too late to find discount rates through JetBlue. What other airline carriers do you know that will be celebrating the Fourth all through July? This is a great carrier to fly through.
Someday you’ll be rich and famous, circling the world in a Marquis Jet -- heading to your next golf outing. You’ll pull up to the jet and be handed a glass of bubbly, chilled to a cool 45 degrees. You'll be on your flight and you'll know that you're going to arrive early enough to make your tee time.
Someday.
Until then, you could use JetBlue's new real-time in-flight tracking channel.
The JetBlue Google Maps system will allow fliers to track the progress of their flight -- location, altitude, and air speed -- while en route. Let's just hope you don’t find yourself staring at JFK on the seat back screen while stranded on the tarmac. Customers will also be able to track the progress of the JetBlue promotional RV as it travels across the US (in the event you are actually stuck on the tarmac and want to follow something that's moving.)
Yes, it’s an unfair world up there; but at least now you'll know where you are. In addition, and more importantly, JetBlue's Web sit
JetBlue’s founder and CEO David Neeleman stepped down today when his board suggested that he ‘could best serve the company as a strategic visionary.’ According to the board and Neeleman, this was in the works for quite some time and has nothing to do with the February 14th flight delays.
However, it’s hard not to hear the message being sent: Board members value long-term risk management over immediate crisis response. Even nearly heroic crisis response measures aren’t as important as an aversion to risk.
There are several lessons that other CEOs and boards can learn from this situation:
It comes down to money: JetBlue says this was planned for some time, but it’s highly likely that the Valentine’s Day disruption hastened the board’s decision. Despite his very strong leadership, David Neeleman is learning the unfortunate reality that, at the end of the day, ROI is what matters. The bottom line is the bottom line.
Manage risk over c
When jetBlue passengers were stranded on the tarmac at JFK, frustrated customers who were stranded at terminals decided to post their own video accounts on YouTube.
jetBlue’s founder, David Neeleman, responded by posting an apology on YouTube, which quickly became one of the top ten most viewed videos of the week. His apology received more than 85,000 views in 48 hours, and has had 276,000 total views to date.
Hey, Menu Foods and ChemNutra and that company in China and any of the Pet Food or Supply Chain participants… Here’s the take-home message. According to Google , YouTube and video ads can act as a powerful additional broadcast outlet – you should consider making official statements, interviews, important information, and most especially, apologies, available in video format.

Airlines want to take advantage of you. And not in the usual bend-over-and-hand-me-your-money way. Like any responsible date, they prefer to get you trashed before sweet talking you. As such, JetBlue is scheduled to offer free beer, cocktails, and 'munchies' on SuperBowl Sunday for any unfortunate (or fortunate) passengers stuck in the air during game-time. DIRECTV has also agreed to whisper sweet nothings into your ear by letting you see the game from 35k feet in the air. While this might be a great success in JetBlue putting forth the effort to cater to their customers, just hope more so than usual that there's no babies on the flight packed with dozens of testosterone-saturated, yelling men.tags technorati : beer cocktails jetblue munchies superbowl
