 Arranging travel to meetings and events just got easier for meeting planners. JetBlue Airways Corporation has introduced CompanyBlue Meetings, an innovative and hassle-free program designed exclusively for corporate meeting planners. Features of the program include flexible and competitive fares, an array of incentives and a fully-dedicated support desk at JetBlue terminals. According to Chad Meyerson, Manager of Group Sales, JetBlue, the program and its array of incentives was based on feedback from individual corporate meeting planners

"JetBlue is raising the level of services offered to the corporate meeting planner by providing an exclusive customer service desk that assists planners from start to finish, simplifying the booking process and streamlining the intricacies of group travel," said Meyerson. "In addition to saving them valuable time, we also provide competitive fares and rewards. In turn, their clients enjoy some of the most comfortable and entertaining travel options in the skies today, including comfy leather seats and spacious legroom."

Meyerson joined the sales team in April 2006 to focus on the development of CompanyBlue Meetings, in addition to group sales. To celebrate the launch, JetBlue is offering corporate travel planners 10 free one-way travel certificates when they centrally book a meeting for 15 or more travelers to the same destination on the same date by July 1st via www.jetblue.com/companybluemeetings

CompanyBlue Meetings also provides planners with one complimentary travel certificate for each 40 customers booked to the same destination on the same date. In addition, meeting planners also get a credit for future travel on JetBlue that is equal to the dollar value of the average fare (minus taxes and fees) for every 40 seats booked, to be used towards future JetBlue CompanyBlue Meeting bookings. The program is available for business-related travel arranged by designated corporate meeting planners with a single company billing source.

JetBlue currently serves 51 destinations, and will welcome its 52nd destination, San Francisco, on Thursday, May 3. Recently, JetBlue expanded service to business travel markets now includes: Austin, TX; Charlotte, NC; Columbus, OH; Houston, TX; Nashville, TN; Pittsburgh, PA; Raleigh-Durham, NC; and Richmond, VA.
