Taxes and fees apply, the airline said in a statement.

The airline was the first to sell "last-minute flights and packages on eBay, the statement said.

"We're putting the price of spontaneous weekend trips this fall into the hands of our customers," said Don Uselmann, JetBlue's manager of Business Development.

"This is their chance to compete to get the best deals on flights and vacation packages to many of JetBlue's most exciting destinations," he said.
