While most of researches stays grounded (mostly to computer screen), there are two guys who decided to take off to conduct very fascinating consumer research. Dustin Curtis and Alaska Miller have bought JetBlue All-You-Can-Jet Pass that allows one month of unlimited travel, any available seat for $599 and took off for 30 days adventure to talk to "hundreds of people with rich backgrounds and histories" that can be found on planes.
As they put it on their website 30dayflight.com
"(...) They have fascinating stories. We want to tell some of them. Our plan is to strike up conversations during our flights and see if maybe, after 30 days of constant flying, we can get a good understanding of the average jetBlue flier."
They took off for their adventure on Tuesday. You can follow the trip on 30dayflight.com and their twitter streams: Dustin Curtis / Alaska Miller.
I wonder how JetBlue will capitalize on this great initiative. There is the serious possibility for JetBlue to get interesting knowledge about their customers and their secret lives, none of questionaire can reveal. Plus there is plenty to learn about how their own services and staff works. There are already some complaints from Alaska Miller.
If they should live up to their claim about bringing humanity back to air travel, they should listen and learn from the real people.
I look forward to seeing final result of this 30 days trip into the secret life of fliers.
