Jet Blue and United Airlines are taking it to the tweet. They recently began offering first dibs on discounted fares to those who follow them on Twitter (A free social networking and micro-blogging site that allows its users to send and read messages known as tweets. Duh).
JetBlue posted its first “Cheep” (United’s Twitter only fares, known as “Twares”) on July 6, a $9 one-way trip from JFK to Nantucket. Sales are generally posted on Mondays and the carrier gives its followers about 8 hours- or as long as there are available seats- to book the trip for that or the following weekend.
Twitterers have to act fast to take advantage of the unbeatable deals…but considering they are answering the question ‘what are you doing?’ in 140 characters or less- this shouldn’t be a problem.
