[Expired] JetBlue Flash Sale Offers Flights From Just $49 Each Way

JetBlue is ringing in the new year with a new flash sale. Called “The Big Winter Sale,” it offers select flights from just $49 each way.

The best part, though, is that you have some time to make some plans, as the sale lasts 8 days.

Let’s look at this deal and how to book it before it’s gone.

JetBlue’s ‘The Big Winter Sale’

JetBlue is offering a limited-time sale with one-way tickets starting from just $49 and vacation packages starting from $128. And given that JetBlue’s TrueBlue program works as a revenue-based points program, these deals also apply to flights booked using your TrueBlue points.

You must book by 11:59 p.m. ET on January 14, 2025, to snag this deal. Eligible travel dates run from January 11 to April 9, 2025. However, travel on Fridays and Sundays isn’t included — nor is travel during the blackout dates from February 13 through 24, 2025. The full terms and conditions are available here.

New York City-based travelers will be happy to learn they can escape the cold Northeastern winter to sunny Fort Myers, Florida (RSW) for just $49 one-way — though note this price applies to JetBlue’s Blue Basic fare:

Alternatively, you can pay for flights using JetBlue TrueBlue points. That same flight to Fort Myers costs 5,100 points plus $5.60 in taxes.

Deals are available from numerous airports, not just New York, so you’ll want to check your home airport to see what the deals are. Those flying out of JetBlue hubs will find the most (and cheapest) options. International destinations are included in this fare, which can make now a great time to book a flight to the Caribbean to escape the cold winters and all the snow dropping on some parts of the country.

The discount applies to the base fare and is valid on nonstop flights only. The cheapest prices apply to Blue Basic (if not available, the cheapest price will be Blue fares). The offer is not valid on previous bookings, and blackout dates apply. You must book on jetblue.com.

Best Ways To Book

To take advantage of the savings, book before the end of the day on January 14, 2025.

If you’re paying cash for these tickets, we recommend paying with a card that rewards you for travel purchases. Here are a few of our favorite cards for JetBlue flyers — all of which offer big welcome bonuses and elevated earnings on flights:

• The JetBlue Plus Card and The JetBlue Business Card: 6x JetBlue points on JetBlue flight purchases
• The JetBlue Card: 3x JetBlue points on JetBlue flight purchases
• The Platinum Card^® from American Express: 5x Membership Rewards points on flights booked directly with the airline or through AmexTravel.com (capped at $500,000 spent in purchases per calendar year, then 1x points)
• Chase Sapphire Reserve^®: 5x Ultimate Rewards points on flights booked through Chase Travel; 3x points on all other travel purchases
• Citi Strata Premier℠ Card: 3x ThankYou Points on air travel

Alternatively, you can book using TrueBlue points, though check the math to see what value you’re getting. We value JetBlue points at 1.3 cents apiece, so work to get around that value if you’re paying points for your flight.

If you have Chase Ultimate Rewards points, you can do even better, using points at up to 1.5 cents apiece during this sale in the Chase Travel portal, depending on which card you have:

• If you have a card with no annual fee, your points will be worth 1 cent apiece.
• If you have the Chase Sapphire Preferred^® Card or Ink Business Preferred^® Credit Card, points are worth 1.25 cents apiece.
• If you have the Chase Sapphire Reserve^®, points are worth 1.5 cents each.

JetBlue runs sales fairly often, and “The Big Winter Sale” offers a range of flight options to numerous destinations — available whether you’re paying with points or money.

If you’ve been craving an escape this winter, you have until January 14 to make use of this deal.
