I was there. Mr. Ceramictest, & "flew" to Seattle. There are worse ways to spend a few hours than getting a sneak peak at the future of an airline that you use regularly, having the chance to win free flights & getting a nice duffle bag & some other giveaways while you're fed breakfast & a barbecue lunch.

To all these jetBlue haters, what airline do YOU fly that is run so much more efficiently/affordably? I've found jetBlue to be the lesser of all evils.

"The volunteers did not leave empty handed as Jet Blue sent them home with (actual real) duffel bags with JetBlue mementos like playing cards, luggage tags and baseball caps." Anyone wanting a blanket or pillow still had to pay $5.

Just being able to taxi to the runway and take off on JetBlue "is on my bucket list".

Let's just hope when they have the actual opening it won't be a fiasco as the one in London when British Airways opened its new terminal earlier this year. They had the same mock opening. A lot of good that did for them.

Didn't the airlines offer free steak knives with a round trip ticket back in the early sixties?

This is hilarious! Volunteer customers get free stuff but on July 27, my 12:55 flight from Syracuse to JFK was cancelled at 8:00 p.m. We didn't even get a stale bag of airplane cookies. The one thing in common however, is that Jet Blue sent them home!
