JetBlue Vacations has launched a team of dedicated Theme Park Experts, specially trained advisers available by phone to help customers plan and book Orlando holidays.
Travellers can now bundle flights, hotels and theme park tickets for Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando Resort in a single booking, earning TrueBlue points and tiles on the full value of the package.
For UK business travellers the timing is worth noting. Orlando is one of the busiest meetings and events destinations in the United States, home to the vast Orange County Convention Center, and adding family time to a work trip there is now routine rather than rare. Research covered by this magazine found that 60 per cent of UK workers now extend business trips into holidays, and few destinations lend themselves to it better than central Florida.
One booking, with a human on the phone
The Theme Park Experts sit within JetBlue Vacations’ Helpful Humans support team and are available by phone to guide customers through every stage of the trip, from selecting the right package and accommodation to navigating key planning decisions before, during and after booking. The pitch is personalised guidance for holidays that typically involve far more moving parts than a straightforward city break, with park tickets, hotel choice and timing all affecting the final bill.
“The excitement of a vacation starts long before customers arrive,” said Jamie Perry, president of Paisly, the company that powers JetBlue Vacations. “Our customers tell us they value having a real person to turn to when planning special vacations, and theme park trips often come with a lot of decisions. From choosing the right hotel and tickets to finding the package that best fits their needs, our Theme Park Experts provide the guidance and support customers need to plan with confidence and focus on making memories.”
Loyalty points on the whole package
A detail that will interest frequent flyers is that TrueBlue points and tiles accrue on the entire package value rather than the flight alone. For SME owners and self-employed travellers who fund their own loyalty balances, bundling a family holiday through the programme is a faster route to elite status than airfare by itself. It also fits a broader pattern of JetBlue investing in its premium offer, including plans for airport lounges in New York and Boston.
The announcement also notes that combining travel components into one booking makes it easier for customers to plan and manage everything in one place, a practical benefit for anyone organising a trip around work commitments.
Why Orlando keeps pulling in UK travellers
Orlando remains one of JetBlue Vacations’ most popular destinations, offering world-class theme parks, family-friendly resorts and experiences for every type of trip. The city keeps adding reasons to visit, from headline concerts, festivals and new attractions to a wave of hotel investment around the parks and convention district.
Whether customers are planning a first theme park holiday or returning to a family favourite, the new team is on hand to help them weigh the options. Packages can be booked at jetbluevacations.com.
