Coming off the bad news that they're the least on-time airline, JetBlue has announced they're auctioning more than 300 roundtrip flights and six vacation packages on eBay. While the opening bids are set between five and 10 cents, it's estimated the airline will make between 85 and 90 percent of the ticket's market value.
The flights up for auction are to 20 destinations and there are four mystery vacation packages to places including Las Vegas and Nassau, Bahamas. The mystery packages include four nights at Marriott hotels and flights leave on Thursdays or Fridays and return on Sundays or Mondays, and you must take your trip by October 6, 2008. You can find the auctions here. Will you be bidding for any JetBlue's tickets?

I looked around this morning and its not that bad especially to NYC. Just wish it had more dates.
1i think that it's a good idea for them seeing as how those reviews came out last week about how inefficient the airline is. i think that it's also going to show that they are being innovative about how they do business - and that they are trying to lure passengers to the airline even during a time that's just not the best for travel. i'm going to check it out - it can't hurt to see if there are any options for me that i can get cheaper through the auction.
2I think it's a good idea, but they are advertising flights to/from Boston when it doesn't seem any are available. ::Grumble::
3it's great but not to any of the places I need to go or from anywhere really near me. By the time I drive to the nearest departure airport I'd have spent all the money I was saving on gas. I think it's an awesome idea though.
4Fun, but I don't need or want to go anywhere right now.
5Very interesting concept!! If I had the extra cash I might.
