JetBlue Launches Program for Furry Jet Setters
By Laura Cross
Do you wish it were easier to travel with your pet? From now until Dec. 31, 2012, JetBlue Airlines is helping you out by offering unlimited flights for pets for $299 through their JetPaws program. This means you can take Fido or Fluffy with you on as many flights as you want through the end of the year for one flat $299 fee rather than the standard $100 one-way pet fare.Even if you're not interested in the pass, you can join JetBlue's free JetPaws program. By signing up, your animal gets a special carrier bag tag, a travel etiquette brochure and the ability to earn TrueBlue points on flights. Plus, you can shop for pet travel gear designed by JetBlue and pet columnist Cindy Adams.
As with many deals, there are a variety of rules and regulations, so make sure you check out JetBlue’s pet travel site before making any bookings.
