JetBlue is currently running a promotion for 20% off base fares, which is a nice deal if your travel plans align with the various restrictions. From a family travel standpoint, I’m having trouble getting too excited about it since the promotion starts after Labor Day, but the fall is a nice time to take a long weekend and this sale certainly helps with that. We’re considering a weekend in New York, but if we do, we may need to stay out of restaurants.
Blackout periods include Columbus Day and anything near Thanksgiving – unless you’re willing to head out for two weeks and travel back on Tuesday, December 2. Then you may have a deal. I would act fast on the December 2 flight if you are looking to book that. I do have an upcoming post on Thanksgiving award travel, and to preview it, I will tell you that the return portion is challenging if not impossible at saver rates.
