The recipients can use the certificates when the time is right to travel anywhere JetBlue flies.
JetBlue is calling the giveaway an opportunity to "fly it forward."
Also, JetBlue is doing a salute with a low-altitude flyover of New York City. Three planes will do the flyover at 7 p.m. Thursday to coincide with the daily clapping in the big apple to applaud health care and essential workers.
