JetBlue adds spa amenities on redeyes

NEW YORK (AP) — JetBlue Airways will offer spa products on its redeye flights, hoping to fill seats in fiercely competitive transcontinental markets as high fuel prices continue to plague the airline industry.
JetBlue and Bliss have begun giving overnight passengers kits that contain eye masks, earplugs, moisturizer, lip balm and a promotional offer from the spa company. The kits are distributed only on flights between Western states and the East Coast.

The airline has also started offering a self-serve pantry filled with snacks and hot towels on the flights — part of what JetBlue is calling "Shut-Eye" service.

"We thought this would be a unique way to differentiate ourselves from our competitors," said Eric Brinker, JetBlue's director of product development and customer experience. "JetBlue is not going to be the airline to nickel and dime its customers."

And I booked tix to SLC on Delta b/c I didn't want to wait for Jetblue to be available only to have to take the redeye (Jetblue seems to only offer redeyes from NYC to SLC or the return)... these "amenities" probably wouldn't have changed my mind, but they are certainly an improvement.

Jetblue seems to have a lot of redeye flights. Maybe thats why they decided to offer this package.

I'm unusual in that I don't mind taking redeye flights. I have a drink, and try to fall asleep. I really hate to fly, so if I am exhausted, I don't get so antsy. I am probably one of the few who will be getting one of those spa packages....

Got it

My wife and I received this "spa package" when we flew the redeye from Vegas to Boston. A plastic pouch with beauty products and the eye patch thingy. Nice little extra, but I preferred the genuine Dunkin' Donuts coffee!

Not decaf

They actually served the coffee at the end of the flight. I hadn't slept at all, and had to drive two hours after landing in Boston.

.....kits that contain eye masks, earplugs, moisturizer, lip balm

we flew Virgin airlines from NY to London 2 yrs. ago and they give out something similiar. Along with the above, they also include booties for your feet and toothbrush and toothpaste.
