If you want to get your hands on the Get Packing! board game — which is the only board game that includes a certificate valid for an actual roundtrip flight operated by JetBlue Airways — you have two options available to you for a chance to win: you can enter the Get Packing! sweepstakes for a chance to be one of 195 winners of the board game; you can be one of the five highest bidders of the game in a charity auction; or you can do both.
Your Chance to Win a Board Game — and Round-Trip Flight — From JetBlue Airways
The object of the Get Packing! board game is to take a Packing Board and start filling it up with the appropriate items to go on your trip — but watch out, because opponents will attempt to steal your items using Wild Cards. The first player to fill up his or her Packing Board gets a certificate for a flight out of town operated by JetBlue Airways. This game accommodates up to six players.
You have until 11:59 in the evening Eastern Standard Time tonight, Tuesday, December 19, 2017 to enter the Get Packing! sweepstakes by simply following the directions to fill out and submit the short registration entry form, which must be fully completed to be eligible to win a prize. The limits are one sweepstakes entry per person and one prize per winner.
Random drawings will be conducted on or around Wednesday, December 20, 2017; and the winners will be announced and notified shortly thereafter.

A travel certificate — which can be redeemed on any round-trip flight in economy class on airplanes operated by JetBlue Airways between Monday, January 1, 2018 and Monday, December 31, 2018 — plus a Get Packing! board game will be available to each of 195 winners. The approximate retail value of each prize is $270.00; and the total approximate retail value of all of the prizes is $52,650.00.
