Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book JetBlue Airways award flights for travel to the Caribbean from New York (JFK) during the low season in September and October, as availability tends to be higher and fewer miles are often required.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 80,000 JetBlue TrueBlue points for a round-trip flight from New York (JFK) to London (LGW), which typically costs around $1,200 in cash.

Routing Trick

You can book a round trip from New York (JFK) to San Francisco (SFO) via Los Angeles (LAX) for 80,000 miles, effectively saving 10,000 miles compared to booking direct flights, as the direct route costs 90,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid booking JetBlue flights to and from the Caribbean, as they often impose high fees such as a $100 change fee and a $75 cancellation fee on award tickets.
