Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book JetBlue Airways award flights for routes like New York (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX) during late January to early February, specifically around January 15-31, when availability tends to be higher due to lower travel demand post-holidays.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 80,000 JetBlue TrueBlue points for a round-trip flight from New York (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX), which typically costs around $500 in cash, offering excellent value.

Routing Trick

You can book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Aruba (AUA) via JetBlue’s TrueBlue program, using only 20,000 miles instead of 30,000 miles for a direct flight, thus saving 10,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on domestic routes, as they charge fees up to $65 for carry-on bags and $45 for checked bags, which can significantly increase your overall travel costs.
