Free flight after one flight from PIT
According to the Post Gazette http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07177/797264-100.stm
So I fly weekly to New York, normally flying American. I don't see any mention of this on JetBlue's website. Anyone else have independent confirmation of this promotion? If so can I earn multiple free tickets? I'll book a lot of trips if I can use it multiple times (so I doubt it).
JetBlue Airways, marking its one-year anniversary in Pittsburgh and hoping to improve its market share here, announced a "gift" today of free travel to any Pittsburgh-area resident who books a flight on the Forest Hills, N.Y., carrier between today and Saturday.
To qualify, you must be a member of JetBlue's frequent flier program, TrueBlue. The flight must originate in Pittsburgh and take place between today and Nov. 15

Thanks much; it's a great deal. And thanks for cross-posting to the US Board - I wouldn't have known otherwise.
66 segments on US this year and these will be my first ever on Jet Blue. Maybe I'm finally getting smart.

I've been looking into this deal most of the day and, overall, it dosn't seem to be generating much excitement. But I have a few questions to make sure it is worth it:
1) B6's FAQ's state "Each TruePass is valid for 1 (one) one-way flight." I just want to verify that this means "1 one-way flight with a connection" Because there are more exciting places to go in the winter than BOS or JFK.
2) How is award availability? I've been a TrueBlue member since they came to PIT. But since I only fly B6 at most two times per year, i never imagined that I'd earn a free flight.
Overall, this is seems like an excellent deal. And, unlike the MR forum, we have a few days to get the fare!
Thanks,

Argh, this is killing me. My girlfriend booked a flight last week. If we cancel that and rebook with the credit, would that constitute newly booked travel?

If you call JetBlue (1-800-538-2583 aka 1-800-JetBlue), it is a possibility they may give it to you being that you just booked last week and they are very well known for their customer service. However, since I don't work for them, I can't officially say they definately will or not. It couldn't hurt to try.

I got lucky. I was about to book a flight two days ago but waited and this promotion came out. Pretty juicy. Almost tempted to try to work around the system and book it multiple times (ie multiple addresses) but not going to do that....

2) I've found it to be pretty good. You can also check for yourself on the specific markets/dates (if you know) if you'd like on their website:
http://www.jetblueairways.com/cgi-bi...?mode=OAR&sid=
You can use that to book it online, or you can call up, and I think it's a $10 or so fee.
I just did a sample search for PIT-JFK-CUN over weekends in Oct, as well as PIT-JFK-AUA the first week in Jan, and it looks fairly open, both of which are a lot more exciting than JFK and BOS in winter

This is a nice deal, and I think I will give them a try. Too bad airlines always put the "one per itinerary" restrictions on there. Now for me and my wife to get the promotion, we have to make separate reservations - I don't understand why it matters to them if we book on the same itinerary or separately - either way we are both paying the same to JB.
That said, great deal!!

B6 deal out of PIT
Yes, this is a good deal. B6 is really trying to boost up their presence here. I'm surprised they have somewhat struggled, but even Southwest has only managed to take a small percentage of the daily flights in and out of PIT. B6 is also suppose to start a new ad campaign, but I've only seen one small printed ad in one of the local papers.
An article in the paper said that people here just have it in their head that US has always been here , so why not fly it. I hope PIT can turn itself around. It is sad walking into that airport and seeing it so empty.
