Semi-Private Flights Between Private Terminals
and FBOs at Major West Coast Destinations are Now Available to
Purchase on JetBlue.com
JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU) and JetSuiteX today announced a
first-of-its-kind partnership making JetSuiteX-operated flights
available on JetBlue.com with a new codeshare agreement.
For travel starting May 1, 2018, JetBlue will place its “B6”
airline code on JetSuiteX Air-operated flights between West Coast
destinations, offering new point-to-point routes for JetBlue
customers. This includes flights between Burbank, Calif. (BUR);
Concord, Calif. (CCR); Oakland, Calif. (OAK); and Las Vegas (LAS),
and marks the first codeshare between a semi-private public charter
operator (JetSuiteX) and a major national carrier.
Customers purchasing these itineraries will get the benefits of
JetSuiteX’s semi-private flying experience, traveling between
private terminals for commercial airline prices. Additional
JetSuiteX features include two free checked bags (combined up to 50
lbs.), 36” of leg room, power at every seat and complimentary
cocktail and snack service on board. Unlike more traditional major
airlines, JetSuiteX customers arrive just 15-20 minutes before
departure and board in just minutes, with no cattle calls or
baggage claims. And now Corporate customers may book JetSuiteX
flights directly at JetBlue.com.
“We are delighted to introduce even more people to the JetSuiteX
experience and to provide new options to JetBlue customers in their
West Coast travels in an exciting new way through this partnership
with JetBlue,” said Alex Wilcox, CEO of JetSuiteX. “This
first-of-its-kind agreement marks an important milestone as we
enhance the distribution and availability of JetSuiteX into
traditional airline channels. We are proud to be partnered with the
iconic JetBlue Airways.”
“JetBlue and JetSuiteX share a common vision focused on
innovation and offering travelers an unmatched level of service
when they fly, which is why our partnership is such a perfect
match,” said Tracy Bink, director airline partnerships, JetBlue.
“Together JetBlue and JetSuiteX are leading the industry in
creating a flying experience unlike anything else on the west
coast.”
At this time, the codeshare does not include connecting flights
to or from JetBlue’s network; customers must arrive and depart from
JetSuiteX’s private terminals and FBOs for their JetSuiteX operated
flights.
JetBlue serves nine airports in California and flies more
nonstop routes from the Golden State to New York and Boston than
any other airline. The airline has recently expanded service in
markets across Southern California and in the Bay Area. JetBlue has
also expanded its industry-leading premium Mint service to new
markets beyond Los Angeles and San Francisco, adding Mint in San
Diego, Las Vegas, Seattle and Palm Springs in just the last
year.
