  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

  • Facebook:
The jokers are really cool, but I'd suggest a slight tweak for a more "authentic-looking" appearance.  The three-letter codes used for ticketing and baggage labels are used to identify the airport, not the city, of departure and arrival.  The tickets should say "Logan Int'l. Airport" with BOS and "McCarran Int'l. Airport" for LAS in addition to the cities they're in, shouldn't they?  The two cities have a handful of airports in all categories; commercial, private, military and municipal.  Hey - you could get really fancy and instead of using those two major airports, pick airports more likely to be used by private aviation or small corporate jets that serve those two cities.  It would really look like a true "jetsetter's" airplane ticket!

Absolutely. That's the plan. On the prototypes, I used the actual airport destination versus the city. The final Joker will have the actual airport name or typical verbiage found on a true boarding pass.

For the airports, I have two options:

1) Have a tier that allows one back to choose the departure airport and another backer choose the arrival airport (side note: the second Joker is the return ticket).

2) I choose the airports based on my own creative reasons.

Thoughts?

Also, here's there prototype: https://instagram.com/p/BClSHT3xtGm/

Thoughts?

Prototype looks cool.

Just choose your favorite airports!  Be decisive!

Color names: Signage Green (or Jetsetter Green if that sounds better to you), Altitude Blue (or if it's more dark, perhaps Oceanic Blue), and NavLight Red (Navigator Red doesn't have as tight a connection to the light; Running Light Red could be a more recognizable alternative).

Possible future colors:
Fuselage White (an inverse-black deck)
Tarmac Black (or Tarmac Gray)
Tropics Green (something with a dash more yellow to it, like palm fronds)
Lifevest Orange (or Life Raft Orange, or Floatation Device Orange...)
Galley Silver
Freshly Ground Brown (coffee!)
Too-High Blue - that blue-black shade when you're about to leave the atmosphere!
Partly Cloudy - a white-blue mix
Lightning Blue - the color of static electricity
Uniform (pick-your-favorite-color), the official uniform color of Jetsetter Airlines!  Could also be a two-tone.
Citrus Yellow, for the perfect lemon wedge in your first-class cocktail
Ice - UV clear-coat for the back design on all the cards
Beach Tan - the color of yellow sand
Golf Course Green (or Bluegrass) - popular destination for the jetsetter

...as you can see, there's no shortage of possibilities if you get creative about it.  Just leave out "Vomit Comet Green!"
