Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for routes like New York (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX) in mid-January, specifically between January 10 and January 20, as this period often sees lower demand and increased availability for 30,000-mile awards.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from New York (JFK) to London (LGW) for 30,000 JetBlue TrueBlue points, which typically costs around $600 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to San Juan (SJU) via Fort Lauderdale (FLL), which allows you to leverage JetBlue's stopover policy to enjoy a layover in Florida, effectively saving 5,000 miles compared to a direct round-trip from JFK to SJU.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with JetBlue Airways on routes to/from the Caribbean, as they often impose high fees such as a $150 fee for changes or cancellations, which can significantly increase your overall travel costs.
