So many people could use a helping hand these days, and JetBlue is stepping up to lend one to weary, would-be travelers. If you've flown with the airline with more legroom then you may recall its tickets are typically not refundable. In a business-minded gesture, JetBlue has announced it will refund the tickets of anyone who made a purchase before losing their job as part of The JetBlue Promise Program.
The airline is hoping its increased flexibility will encourage people to book tickets during this uncertain economic time. If you lose your job after Feb. 17 and booked your flight between Feb.1 and June 1, you're eligible to receive a full refund for your JetBlue reservation. The request must be submitted at least two weeks before your scheduled departure date. Do you think the policy will work out for JetBlue?

I don't know if it will work, but it's a nice gesture.
1That's nice of them.
2That was thoughtful.
3I really appreciate the gesture.
4That's great!
5another reason i love them!
6well i think that it's a nice thing, although i'm not necessarily sure how it's going to work. i think that people still feel like they need to take a break or go somewhere especially if they're really depressed about being out of work.
7I really wish Southwest had this policy. Two days after I booked my birthday trip to Las Vegas, my husband got laid off. Of course we had to cancel because we couldn't go gambling with a good conscience after receiving this news. Southwest charged me a cancellation fee of $100 per person - so there went $200, just like that - and no birthday for me, no job for hubby.
