Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your JetBlue Airways award flights for travel to the Caribbean from New York (JFK) during the off-peak months of September to early November for optimal availability and lower mileage redemption.
Sweet Spot
You can fly round-trip from New York City (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX) for 40,000 JetBlue TrueBlue miles, which typically costs around $600 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a flight from New York (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX) via Fort Lauderdale (FLL), saving about 8,000 miles compared to a direct flight, as the JFK to FLL to LAX route totals approximately 4,000 miles instead of the direct 6,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they often charge up to $65 for carry-on bags and $50 for checked bags, significantly increasing your overall travel costs.
