Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book JetBlue Mint award flights to the Caribbean for travel during the low season, specifically between late January and early March, as availability tends to be higher and miles required often lower on routes like New York (JFK) to Aruba (AUA).

Sweet Spot

You can book a round-trip Mint class flight from New York (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX) for 90,000 JetBlue TrueBlue points, which typically costs around $1,800 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip flight from New York (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX) with a stopover in San Francisco (SFO), allowing you to effectively utilize the JetBlue TrueBlue program’s distance-based earnings to save approximately 1,200 miles compared to a direct JFK-LAX flight.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying on JetBlue Airways for routes within the U.S. as they often impose high fees, such as a $75 fee for changing or canceling a flight.
