It’s not every day you see inflight services handled by frequent flyer program executives. Here’s Chris Lynch (Vice President, Membership Rewards) explaining how the new partnership with JetBlue works.

And the BIG announcement: Mr. Seal, who has just flown in from the West Coast, boards amid a happy round of applause and promptly takes … seat 1F. So, he’s a window guy. And he’s joining us on today’s flight.

OK, here it comes – the proverbial goodie bag. In the gateway all passengers get a handy blue (of course) JetBlue flight bag packed with enough souvenirs that I might have some left over for one of you. Here’s what I have rummaged through so far:

• a folder of information from the Atlantis Resort where all the winners will be staying
• a signed CD by Mr. Seal of his latest album – Best: 1991-2004
• an Atlantis Resort beach towel
• a very nice and generously sized sampler kit of Burt’s Bees products
• a rather large bottle of suntan lotion (SPF 15 for you sun gods)
• a co-branded water bottle from Membership Rewards, TrueBlue and Atlantis
• a waterproof sports camera from Kodak for those magic moments, and
• a few snacks to fatten us all up.

*Rating the goodie bag: 10 Membership Rewards points (out of 10). Everything in the bag, and even the bag itself, is usable. Best item: the signed CD by Mr. Seal. No, you won’t find mine up on eBay, but I may offer the entire bag up to some lucky member of FlyerTalk.com.

Standing in line I notice one thing: There are a lot of tennis players on this flight. No less than a dozen passengers with rackets are in line in front of me. It’s a good sign, as it certainly shows how much these winners are looking forward to a few days of sunshine. Next clue: Everyone is smiling – especially the executives from American Express and JetBlue.

Funny how we all want to board at once. Apparently no one wants to be left behind.

Well, time to go. Will try and file a report in-flight, but that’s not up to me… technology, you know. Here’s the boarding gate, and I’ve yet to find out where Mr. Seal is hanging out. Apparently there’s a lounge program i know nothing about.

One more thing. As a very positive customer service thing to do, JetBlue handed out $8 breakfast vouchers to all passengers on this private flight. Like a dummy, I’m in my frequent flyer mode and automatically pay with a credit card; only a few minutes ago I realized that I could have saved a few bucks. Frankly, I’m happy to have saved JetBlue the money. So far, the airline is everything passengers say it is.

Among those checking in: a newly married couple (the bride with an actual veil to prove it) who were planning on the wedding anyway, and were astounded when they got an email from American Express letting them know they had won a free trip to Nassau from this sweepstakes. Their lucky day, and ours. Nice couple.

I don’t know Seal’s first name, so as I spy his black Escalade purring up to the curb right in front of my very eyes, he becomes Mr. Seal to me. With a few handlers to keep the likes of me away, I notice he doesn’t prefer Tumi luggage when traveling, relying instead on his camouflage messenger bag to do the trick. Works for me. First impression: good guy. Second impression: He’s pretty tall. Third impression – My fiancee tells me he’s a pretty good singer. Thanks, JetBlue and American Express, for my early morning VIP moment.P.S. He’s the tall guy.

Whoa…film crews and all that. Well, this is quite an event. Here’s what it was like when checking in for the flight.
