Reuters reports that JetBlue is looking for 1000 of its frequent fliers to show up at JFK on August 23rd for a trial test of its new terminal, set to open next month.
The volunteers would be expected to check bags given them by the airline, go thorugh security, and wait at the assigned gate for their imaginary flights. In return, they get free giveaways, free parking, and lunch.
It sounds like fun to us. JetBlue is taking no chances after baggage systems and passenger services failed during the opening of British Airways’ new terminal at London Heathrow in March.
