JetBlue's fabulous gift guide has moved out of the virtual world and into the real world in a pop-up store that opened yesterday in New York's Meatpacking District. You can now walk in and see the famous suitcase suit in person, along with the full-body compression suit, the knee jockey, and of course, the biting stick. It's a fun concept store open for the next few weeks. Note: you cannot actually buy anything in the store, so just check it out for laughs. And if you're in the area, go ahead and check out the other gift-free pop-ups in the MPD.

JetBlue has launched a fabulous gift guide called the Flyers Collection on their Facebook page that details plenty of gifts for those not traveling on "the other guys," meaning any other airlines besides JetBlue. Top of the list includes "Leather in a Jar" that, once arranged on your chair, changes your seat "into something not entirely unlike leather." Available colors include "Other Airline Brown, Hass Avocado, Black-ish and JetBlue Gray."

Great news on the jetting front -- the fabulous All You Can Jet monthly pass (for $599) that JetBlue launched this year is already scheduled to make a comeback sometime in 2010. The news was announced on Wednesday at the JetBlue corporate retreat in West Point, where a few of the original AYCJ flyers were invited to come and speak on their experiences with the pass from this September/October's jetting. In addition to more passes going up for sale, the lucky seven founding All You Can Jet members will be gifted with a second (and this time, free) pass on the second round.

JetBlue is pairing up with AMEX to offer an amazing deal through their Daily Wish program. As of this Thursday, JetBlue will offer up three "Flight of the Month" passes. Each pass will entitle the user to one flight a month, with no blackout dates. The pass is good for 12 consecutive months -- December 1, 2009, through November 30, 2010. The total cost for this year-long-flight-pass? Only $2,000. And that $2,000 includes all taxes, fees, and ticket prices. There are however, only three of these golden tickets, and to get them you're going to have to be quick on the draw.

JetBlue launched the updated version of their TrueBlue program today, and the biggest change is that instead of accruing miles by length of trip, you now rack up points by dollars instead. It used to be that if you were a frequent cross-country flier, you could have a free flight for about every five flights or so. This worked well if you could catch a deal or four on these flights, because no matter what you paid, it was the length of the trip that counted. Now, however, it won't really be such a boon, points-wise, if you catch a sale, because it counts more if you purchase a flight at full price.

JetBlue had better step up in terms of the frock department. With Delta/Northwest rocking Richard Tyler designs and Cynthia Rowley getting cozy with United, JetBlue is starting to look a little downmarket in the uniform department. Maybe they should go completely avant garde and get Alexander McQueen to design their next set of dress blues. The dresses could come with couture hoods and to-the-floor capes. I'm thinking yards and yards of lace and tulle with studded accents.

JetBlue is running back the sample sale and upping the ante for all flights out of Long Beach. For those who can get to John Wayne, you can hop on over to San Francisco for as little as $24 each way. In fact, of the seven flights on sale from Long Beach, none of the fares are over $49 each way. On the east coast, flights leaving from Terminal 5 at JFK are running about $15 higher, still clocking in cheap at $39 each way to places like D.C and Charlotte. To get to Ft. Lauderdale or Chicago it's $59 each way, and for hotspots like Bermuda and Los Angeles, it's still only $89 each way. You can even get to Barbados for only $99 round trip out of JFK. You've got to book by 11:59pm (MDT) tonight, and travel is good October 22 through December 16. Sadly, the week that involves Thanksgiving does not include these deals. More after the jump.

JetBlue's "All You Can Jet" pass, a sweet deal launched for September -- $599 to jet to any one of JetBlue's 56 destinations for an entire month (yes even Aruba, Cancun, and Bermuda) -- has abruptly come to an end. Debuting August 12, this stellar deal only lasted for about a week before the airline was overwhelmed with calls. "Sales of the pass have really exceeded all our expectations," JetBlue spokesman Sebastian White says. "We want to make sure that we don't sell so many (passes) that it becomes a challenge for people to find seats," White says, explaining why JetBlue drew the sale to a close earlier than expected.

Those of you who already Twitter-savvy might know about the deals beginning to seep into the newsfeeds of big corporations. Companies are tweeting out last-minute deals and steals in all arenas. JetBlue and United have decided to give it a go and are tweeting out special deals to those that follow them on Twitter. The airlines are giving out seats on less-than-full planes for unbelievable deals; see JetBlue's "Cheeps," i.e. $9 fares from JFK to Nantucket. The deals are usually dispersed on a Monday, giving followers about eight hours (or as long as there are seats) to book a flight for the next weekend.
