JetPride: JetBlue Launches First-Ever Gay Flight

Arrive in grand gay style for Long Beach Pride aboard JetBlue‘s JetPride flight #1969 departing San Francisco International Airport on May 14, 2010 at 12:30PM and arriving at Long Beach Airport at 2PM. This rainbow-powered flight features ribald and hilarious comedian, Pam Ann, serving as the flight’s honorary purser. She’s a straight woman female impersonator à la Dame Edna, who is a straight, married female impersonator. Go figure. The flight features pink cocktails, gift bags, and other goodies, natch.

JetPride’s flight is priced at the incredibly low price of $79 per one-way ticket plus taxes and fees. To purchase, you must contact the ‘JetPride desk’ at 888-538-2583 option 4. It is not available online since it’s an exclusive offer. (See below for the ‘fine print.’) Passengers have a wide range of options to return to San Francisco or Oakland (with five and four daily flights, respectively).
