Given a crazy deal like this, all you can fly for a month.
http://www.jetblue.com/deals/all-you...ou-Can-JetPass

And the easy route selector in:
http://www.jetblue.com/wherewejet/

What would be the best way to juice this. For either case: traveling alone or with friend.

Preferably it must include Denver, Seattle and San Diego.

The only limitation that's going to get in your way is you can't depart the same city twice in the same day. With their limited route network, that's going to bite you for trips to less served stations.

Tampa - Cancun - Tampa - New York - Denver - Boston - Seattle - San Diego - New York - San Juan - DC - New Orleans - NY - Los Angeles - Martha's Vineyard - Boston - Fort Lauderdale - Portland - Austin - Oakland - LA - Buffalo - Tampa

Sounds like a busy day.

Wow, their new route selector is pretty terrible; hard to see what routes are served nonstop vs connecting.

What about it? Certainly do-able in a week, but it doesn't appear to be particularly optimal in terms of maximizing flying, avoiding seeing the same city more than once, staying in the air all day, or staying on the ground mid-day. There's a number of non-optimal segments if you're trying to avoid seeing a lot of JFK, like Boston - Seattle, Seattle - San Diego, San Juan - DC, DC - New Orleans, Los Angeles - Martha's Vineyard, etc.

What are you trying to do?

Why would you ever want to depart the same city twice in a day?

All glory to the hypnotoad.

In The Godfather's case, a lot of the places he wants to go require a connection in JFK, but he couldn't do two of those routes in the same day.

Or some people just like to fly.

I do IAH-DEN-LAX-YUM-LAX-DEN-IAH in a single day, but for even stranger reasons.

I don't mean to fly two (either non-stop or with stops) routes on the same day.

The offer is good for a month, not for a week. I am trying to tour the most places for 1 day each. Perhaps 2 days for NYC. I love sleeping in planes and spending 25% of the time flying is not a problem.
