bluWave Begins the 2012 Holiday Season with a “Thank You”
Henderson, CO — bluWave Airlines today announced their first ever “Thank You” sale in light of the upcoming 2012 holiday season, featuring one-way airfares starting at $49 on select flights throughout the airline’s market segment. The sale will kickoff tonight at 11:59 pm PT and will be valid for any flight through Friday, January 11, 2013. The sale will end on Tuesday, November 20 at 12am PT. Market restrictions apply.
“The idea of the sale is to deliver a fond, sincere thanks to our loyal customers who have chosen to fly bluWave again and again across the regions we fly,” President and CEO Connor Levens said at the press conference earlier this morning. “Without these people, there would be no one spreading the word that our services have abundant value to them and their families. And without that, our brand would not be as successful as we are today.”
Examples of these one-way, low airfares include (see fare rules below):
- A $49 one-way, non-stop flight between Las Vegas and Denver
- A $64 one-way, non-stop flight between Denver and Phoenix
- A $69 one-way, non-stop flight between Seattle and Oakland, Calif.
- A $71 one-way, non-stop flight between Sacramento, Calif. and Seattle
- A $78 one-way, non-stop flight between Salt Lake City and Denver
COO Johnathon Neilsen wasn’t hesitant in chiming in on the press conference either, even though he was running a few minutes late. “This sale gives us the opportunity to reward the people who have helped us take to the skies in 2010,” the number two Continue reading

Canadian Xpress October 2012 Challenge: Instrument Flight Rules
