JetBlue quits flight pass deal
You can't jet as much as you want any more, as discounter JetBlue has suspended its "All You Can Jet" promotion. The deal offered fliers unlimited flights for a month for only $599. To JetBlue's surprise (but nobody else's), the program was quite successful. The airline is taking advantage of the "while supplies last" comment in the promotion. Since the airline ran out of passes, it won't keep the deal alive until Friday.
JetBlue does cite the realistic concern about seat availability: if too many people have passes, it could become impossible to accommodate everyone who's entitled. Of course, the world is silent on whether oversized passengers need to buy two monthly passes, based on the growing airline trend regarding growing fliers.

Hi there,
Just to clear up any confusion - we identified a max number of All You Can Jet passes for sale, so that customers who purchased a pass would have a reasonable chance of getting the flights they want. We didn't seriously think we would sell all of those passes out - let alone 2 days before the deadline!
Were we tempted to just keep selling the AYCJ passes and rack in the bucks? Yes. But it would have led to backlash and it would have been counter to our mission "to bring humanity back to air travel." To those who didn't get a chance to buy an All You Can Jet pass this time around - I'm sorry. But we have some good fares to the places you want to go - so check it out anyway and follow us on Twitter (@jetblue and @jetbluecheeps) for other specials, deals and notable offers.
Have a great weekend,
