If you book by tonight at 11:59 PM ET, you can find JetBlue fares for as little as $29 one way or 1,200 TrueBlue points for flights this labor day weekend, September 3 & 4.
The sale is on select routes only, but there are lots of options to choose from. See the full route list and the rest of the details about the flash sale here. Sale fares are not restricted to domestic itineraries– there are some really cheap international deals as well.
Here are some of the routes that are on sale:
Examples
Boston to New Orleans: $28.90 or 1,200 TrueBlue points and $5.60
New York City to Cartagena, Colombia: $58.90 or 1,200 TrueBlue points and $20.60 in taxes
New York City to Burbank, California: $28.90 or 1,200 TrueBlue points and $5.60
Note these sale fares (“Blue fares”) do not include a checked bag. If you need to check a bag, it will probably be cheaper to buy the Blue Plus fare than pay the $20 cost web check-in or $25 in person at the airport.
The Card to Purchase it With
If you don’t have the JetBlue Plus card which gives you 6 TrueBlue points per dollar spent on JetBlue airfare (and a 10% rebate on TrueBlue point redemptions), then purchase the flight with the Citi Prestige® Card, since it comes with a $250 Air Travel Credit every calendar year that would offset the entire cost of this ticket.
Even if you’ve already used your $250 credit for this year, the card offers 3x on all airfare purchases.
Bottom Line
Book by tonight on jetblue.com and you can spend as little as $29 or 1,200 TrueBlue points on a one way flight. As travel is only good for September 3 & 4, you’ll probably only be able to take advantage of the sale for one direction– but the savings potential is still large.
If you choose to redeem TrueBlue points on this sale and you have the JetBlue Plus card, you’ll also get a 10% rebate, bringing the price down from 1,200 TrueBlue points to 1,080 TrueBlue points for many flight options.
