JetBlue’s quickie $29 sale may be the last |
|
|
|
|

The other day, JetBlue just had one of it’s famous get-’em-while-they-last $29 one-day sales. It may not have been a coincidence that it happened just a few days ahead of the new government rule. TSA now finally requires airlines to list all taxes and fees in their advertised fares.
If you were lucky enough to get one of those $29 deals, with the add-ons you probably paid more than $50. Still a good deal, but frustrating for consumers who believe the low-cost come-ons until it’s time to pay the actual fares.
Of course, you can’t get too mad at JetBlue’s $29 ads, because the airlines don’t profit from all the add-ons. They have to pay those extra bucks for taxes, airport fees, fuel hikes and other expenses. You can expect future airline ads to be totally honest, and prices exactly what you’ll pay out of pocket.
Now, if the government can get auto dealerships to advertise honestly, that would be a real miracle. |

Disney Parks Employees Now Can Be Hairier |
|
|
|
|

According to an official announcement from Disney, employees (called cast members) at Disney's theme parks will now be allowed to grow neatly-trimmed beards and goatees for the first time ever. We assume this applies to male workers only.
Theme park management has always insisted on a squeaky-clean dress and grooming code since Disneyland opened in 1955. It wasn’t until 1970 that mustaches were allowed, despite the fact that Walt Disney himself always sported one. |

Priceline phasers Shatner: Beam him down, Scotty! |
|

|
|

We seniors have enjoyed the now 80-year-old Bill Shatner’s success following Star Trek during his current 14-year reign as a humorous TV spokesman. He’s best known these days for the online travel agency Priceline’s TV commercials.
Although he may be the main reason for the agency’s great name recognition, his last ad will portray him driving to a fiery death from a bridge. This will kill off his TV ad character, as Priceline intends to go a different direction with its future commercial efforts.
Some fans believe it’s a bad idea to kill the goose that produced Priceline’s golden egg. However, it isn’t likely the ex-Captain Kirk will be going to the unemployment line. His one-man biographical show is opening for a limited run at Broadway’s Music Box Theater in New York, entitled "Shatner’s World: We Just Live In It". |
