NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2007 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Whether it's the big game, the multimillion-dollar commercials or the halftime show that captures the attention of millions of Americans this Sunday, customers traveling on JetBlue Airways (Nasdaq:JBLU) on the biggest football day of the year won't have to forfeit the Monday morning water cooler huddle. Thanks to the low-fare airline's winning lineup of 36 channels of live DIRECTV(r) (a) programming, travelers can enjoy the blockbuster TV event from the comfort of their all-leather seat, equipped with a personal seat-back television and a complimentary beer or cocktail (b) of their choice.

"By offering award-winning service, the most in-flight entertainment in the skies, and a free beer on game day, it's our way of saying 'thanks' while keeping our customers connected to friends, family and current events."

To complement the free beer or cocktail, JetBlue's brand-name snack selection features Terra Blues(r) Potato Chips, the official snack of the airline, made from naturally blue potatoes. In lieu of traditional rolling carts, JetBlue's snacks and beverages are hand-delivered by friendly in-flight crewmembers to allow customers the freedom to move about the cabin. As an added bonus, the snacks are free and unlimited, and requests for seconds or thirds are always encouraged.
