MLB: Airline offers $99 Manny fares

Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Manny Ramirez isn't the only one benefiting from his decision to rejoin the Los Angeles Dodgers.

To welcome back Ramirez, who agreed to a $45 million, two-year deal Wednesday, JetBlue Airways is offering a $99 Manny Fan Fare each way for Southern California residents. The fare amount represents Ramirez's jersey number.

Through May 21, residents can travel from Long Beach to either New York's JFK International or Boston's Logan Airport or from Burbank to JFK. The special fare sale ends Sunday.

JetBlue is the Dodgers' airline partner.

"Customers can choose to jet to Manny's hometown and our home base, New York, or the home of his former team in Boston," said Marty St. George, the airline's senior vice president of marketing.
