Selected contestants per episode will compete in each game virtually via Skype while the host with the most conducts the show live from New York City, in a studio outfitted with plasma screens where the contestants appear before him. One winner per episode can win a getaway to the sandy beaches of Mexico or the turquoise waters of Turks and Caicos, among other desirable destinations. Viewers can tune in to watch the live streaming games from their computers, smart phones or tablets at jetblue.com/getawaywithit.  Episodes air daily at 10 a.m., 12 p.m., 3 p.m., 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. ET.

"For those who've always dreamt of being a contestant on a game show, we're giving them the chance to be in the spotlight — all from the comfort of their own home," said Grant McCarthy, JetBlue's director getaways and ancillary travel. "Our 21^st Century digital take on the classic American TV staple challenges contestants' trivia chops, while showcasing our JetBlue Getaways vacation product, including Best Price Guarantee and 24/7 travel support with our Concierge on Call, among other benefits."

Game shows are a nostalgic Americana treasure and Get Away With It gives this American classic a new digital twist. Previously, fans were limited to simply watching their favorite game shows from their living rooms. This modern day spin gives anyone with access to a computer a chance to play.  Individuals over the age of 18 from across the United States can apply to put their smarts to the test with general knowledge trivia questions.

To play off of the age-old rivalry between Boston and New York, where JetBlue is the largest domestic carrier in terms of seats in and out of New York's John F. Kennedy and Boston's Logan airports, the airline with a sense of humor is also bringing the game show to the streets, challenging consumers to a city vs. city trivia battle. An interactive storefront at 303 Park Avenue in New York City, an interactive pod at Copley Square in Boston, and video screens in five bus shelters throughout Boston will verbally beckon passersby for on-the-street gaming.

For those who miss the live game show, there will still be a chance to interact with a sweepstakes version of Get Away With It June 23 through July 10 at www.jetblue.com/getawaywithit. Get Away With It fans can play daily for a chance to win up to $250 toward a JetBlue Getaways vacation package (c). Viewers returning to jetblue.com/getawaywithit during this time can also relive the fun with repeat episodes of the live action and a highlight reel.
