Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book JetBlue award flights for popular routes such as New York to Los Angeles during the month of January, specifically in the first two weeks, to find better availability and lower mileage requirements.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 50,000 JetBlue TrueBlue points for a round-trip flight from New York City (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX), which typically costs around $400 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a JetBlue flight from New York (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX) with a stopover in Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to leverage the extra segment, effectively covering the route for only 50,000 miles instead of the usual 60,000 miles for direct flights.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid JetBlue Airways for routes to the Caribbean, as they often impose high fees of up to $150 in taxes and surcharges on award tickets.
