Want to get away if the election does not go your way? JetBlue offers to help

JetBlue Airlines is offering supporters of whichever candidate loses the November presidential election a chance to leave the country.

Ardent supporters of both parties have threatened to leave the country if their preferred presidential candidate loses since probably the beginning of national campaigns.

But low-fare air carrier JetBlue is offering its passengers the chance to actually do it.

The airline launched a contest called "Election Protection 2012" in which participants predict the winner of the race between President Obama and Mitt Romney and are entered to win a free flight to Mexico, South America or the Caribbean islands if they end up being wrong. 

"If your candidate doesn't win, don't worry," the airline says on a website for its campaign, touting the motto "Live Free or Fly."


"Election protection could be your ticket out of the country," the JetBlue website continued.

Possible destinations include the Grand Cayman Islands, Costa Rica, Colombia, Aruba, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Maarten, the Domician Republic, Turks & Caicos, Bahamas and Jamaica.
