The celebration included a ribbon-cutting ceremony, pictures with celebrity look alikes, a huge cake and other goodies and refreshments for those first customers boarding the flight at JFK.
Goody bags awaited each traveler as they were seated onboard which included liquor, gift cards, Sees Chocolates and other nice The Captain announced a Big Blue Welcome as we took off for the L.A. area. Customers seem to love the JetBlue-way-of-travel including their leather seats, screens at each seat with Direct TV and assortment of complimentary snacks including everyone’s favorite – the Terra Blue Potato Chips which is the official JetBlue snack.
