Do you want to fly to the Caribbean in style at a discount? Well, there’s an excellent deal to Barbados — and it’s in JetBlue’s Mint business class!

Let’s take a look at the deal.

Fare Deal — Details

This fare deal is a nonstop flight from Boston (BOS) to Bridgetown, Barbados (BGI). The outbound and return flights are on JetBlue’s Airbus A321 jet, configured with its “old” Mint seats.

Mint on this plane is arranged in a 2-2 or 1-1 configuration. If you want a coveted “Throne Seat,” make sure to book an even-numbered seat if it’s available.

You’ll find the cheapest availability on weekend dates between August and October. However, other Mint flights are available throughout the summer, including Barbados’ Carnival festival, starting at around $1,500 round-trip.

How To Book

The best availability is on weekend dates between August and October, though other flights are available for a few hundred dollars more.

Once you’ve settled on dates and picked flights, make sure to book your ticket with a credit card that rewards for flights or general travel purchases. Some of our favorites here at Upgraded Points include:

If you fly JetBlue often, you may consider opening 1 of the airline’s co-branded credit cards, all of which offer nice welcome bonuses and elevated earnings on flights. Both The JetBlue Plus Card and The JetBlue Business Card offer 6x JetBlue TrueBlue points on JetBlue flight purchases, while The JetBlue Card offers 3x JetBlue points on JetBlue flight purchases.

Final Thoughts

This is a fantastic deal for a nearly 5-hour flight to the Caribbean, and JetBlue is one of the best ways to fly to the region.

If you want to visit Barbados this summer or fall and you’re based in Boston or New York, you’d better book this deal before it’s gone!
