When JetBlue offered a one-month-only, all-you-can-fly travel pass, two friends from Buffalo decided to take the airline up on its offer.
They put together what might be the coolest road trip ever, except they'll be spending way more time in the air — and at airports — than on any roads.
Here are the numbers: Four guys. Forty-four flights. Twenty-eight cities. Thirty-one days, starting Tuesday morning.
"We're looking at it as a snapshot of the United States," said Clark Dever, a 25-year-old Elmwood Village resident.
Dever and Joe DiNardo recruited two more friends to accompany them on the whirlwind adventure, which the public can follow on their blog, Twitter and Facebook.
They plan to spend about 12 hours in each city, flying back and forth across the country through the airports serviced by JetBlue over the 31-day "All You Can Jet" promotion.
"It's a horrible idea," said friend Jon Mirro, owner of the Hand of Doom tattoo shop in Buffalo, citing the trip's logistics. "But I think it will be a lot of fun."
