NEW YORK (AP) — In a
marketing gimmick that piggybacks on next month's presidential election,
JetBlue is offering a way for Americans to make good on threats to
leave the country if "the other guy" wins.
The New York airline
said Wednesday that it will give away 2012 seats, or 1,006 round-trip
flights, for customers that come out on the losing end of the battle
between President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
Travelers
who visit jetblue.com/electionprotection and pick their choice for
President will be entered into the contest to win a (temporary) escape
outside the U.S. JetBlue's international routes include Mexico and the
Caribbean.
The free flight would not include taxes, fees or a hotel.
