In honor of National Military
Appreciation Month, JetBlue is offering active duty military
personnel $1 fares for domestic, nonstop flights, for a limited
time, departing from the two JetBlue cities nearest to the nation's
capital: Washington Dulles International Airport in Dulles, Va.,
and Richmond International Airport in Richmond, Va. The airline
also will donate $15,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project, a
nonprofit organization that honors and empowers wounded
warriors.
To take advantage of the offer, servicemembers must book between
today and May 7, or while seats last, for travel between May 8 and
May 31 from Dulles or Richmond to any JetBlue destination in the
continental United States served nonstop from those airports. Proof
of eligibility is required. The fare is available to active-duty
servicemembers only; retirees, reservists and military families are
not eligible for this offer.
Nonstop destinations served by
JetBlue from Dulles include Boston; Los Angeles/Long Beach and
Oakland, Calif.; Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, Fla.; and New
York/JFK. Nonstop destinations from Richmond include: Boston, Fort
Lauderdale, Orlando and New York/JFK.
Upon check-in, military travelers must present a valid
Department of Defense common access card and official documentation
at the JetBlue service counter verifying authorized leave from duty
to show proof of active status. Travel booked with this offer is
not eligible for online flight check-in or at an airport kiosk.
Failure to present these documents will void the reservation,
officials said.
Officials emphasized that tickets for the special fare cannot be
purchased online or at the airport service counter. Servicemembers
are responsible for applicable taxes and fees.
To book the $1 fare, call 1-800-JETBLUE (538-2583) and select
Option 4.
