New initiatives from JetBlue and America West include free companion flights and delayed billing.
America West says it is offering its Bill-Me-Later program to encourage travelers to book on its website. The Bill-Me-Later option allows tickets to be booked at americawest.com and paid for within 90 days without interest.
The offer is valid through 31 December.
JetBLue announced its “Free Friend Fare” promotion for flights between selected areas that include Washington (Dulles), Long Beach, Oakland and Sacramento.
To take advantage, travelers must travel together on the same dates and flights. Travel must be done before 15 November.
Fares must also be booked seven days in advance, and there are other stipulations.
