In order to complete a trial run of the new bag check and security systems at JFK airport, JetBlue Airways has come up with an interesting idea: 1,000 frequent flyers are asked to show up and check prepacked bags given to them, go through security and wait at the gate for an imaginary 'flight'. As a reward, the airline is promising unspecified "giveaways", free parking and lunch.
The trial run is meant to prevent a disaster similar to the chaotic opening of British Airways' Terminal 5 at London's Heathrow Airport in March when the new JFK terminal opens in September.

This is a very practical idea. Using frequent flyers who are familiar with the operations of the airliners to "beta test" the functionality of the new systems put in place for bagchecking and security... I hope everything goes well.
