Oh, those $29 fares. So excited are customers of JetBlue that they appear to be causing a problems for the low cost airline.
JetBlue spokesman Morgan Johnston says user traffic related to a fare sale today led to the airline’s website experiencing “intermittent outages” for about 30 to 45 minutes this morning.
@JetBlue earlier had tweeted: “We’re experiencing technical difficulties on our homepage. To book, please go to:http://book.jetblue.com/B6/webqtrip.html”
Johnston says the website issues have since been resolved.
Today’s surge of website traffic follows last week’s burst when JetBlue sold out an offering of All You Can Jet flight passes in 60 hours.
Johnston declined to reveal how many flight passes JetBlue sold last week, but indicated that consumers bought 15% more of the airline’s flight passes than they did when the passes were offered in 2009.
so…. how many did they sell last year? do the math and let us know.
Jim: JetBlue wouldn’t release any figures on 2009 and 2010 All You Can Jet pass sales, just the percentage increase. If I knew, I would have told you:)
