JetBlue will fly you out of the country if 'other guy' wins election

10/3/2012

Marketing-savvy airline JetBlue has found a way to capitalize on the attention surrounding the upcoming election: Give disgruntled voters the chance to leave the country if the "other guy wins." To enter the giveaway, participants take a survey on the airline's website, then join the contest on Facebook. If their candidate loses, they're eligible to win a free flight. A marketing official with the airline, who reminds us that "fun" is one of JetBlue's "five founding values," says, "We've all heard it said before: 'If my candidate does not win, I'm leaving the country.'" The airline will give away 2,012 seats — that's 1,006 round trips — to suitably non-American destinations, including Colombia, Barbados and Aruba. [Source]
