Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book JetBlue award flights for summer travel (June to August) in early January, especially for popular routes like New York to Los Angeles, as this is when availability tends to open up for peak season travel.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 90,000 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

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to San Juan (SJU) via St. Thomas (STT) for 90,000 miles instead of a direct JFK-SJU flight, saving about 10,000 miles while enjoying an extra Caribbean destination.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid booking flights with JetBlue Airways on routes to or from the Caribbean, as they often impose a $100 "carrier-imposed" surcharge on award tickets, significantly increasing the total cost.
