JetBlue, the airline whose in-seat televisions pay you nice compliments, just announced their routes in the Chicago market, effective January 4, 2007. It’ll be the first time the airline has flown to the Windy City: 2 flights a day to/from New York-JFK, and 2 flights a day to Long Beach.

And of course there’s a fare sale to go with the new routes. $36 each way, plus tax. I priced out an itinerary from Chicago to Long Beach that’s $91.10 roundtrip, all-in. That’s quite cheap.

The legal mumbo-jumbo:

Service begins on January 4, 2007. Fare requires a 14-day advance purchase. Tickets must be purchased on or before October 27, 2006. Travel must be completed by February 15, 2007.

Now let’s just keep the pilot alertness experiments to a minimum, okay?
