Quick Thoughts
This could be a useful offer if you need to fly on a route that JetBlue serves in the next few months. There’s not a ton of exclusions, but it is worth noting that it’s only valid on nonstop flights, fares have to be $50+ or $100+ before taxes/fees and that it’s not valid for travel on Fridays and Sundays which reduces the appeal for quick weekend getaways. It’s valid on flights through June 12, but you have to book those flights by March 6.
It can be particularly good for cheaper routes such as between San Francisco and Los Angeles…
…or between New York City and Boston.
JetBlue is similar to Southwest in that the value of their points is linked to the cost of airfare. However, unlike Southwest promo codes which usually give a discount on both cash and award pricing, this JetBlue sale is only valid on paid tickets – not award flights.
If you run multiple searches on JetBlue’s website, be aware that you’ll need to type in the SPRINGTRAVEL promo code each time. It should auto-populate when doing an initial search after clicking through to the promotion’s landing page linked to above, but when entering revised cities and/or dates, the promo code box will be empty which is why you need to enter it again.
It can be easy to miss that due to the pricing differential between Blue Basic fares and Blue fares. For example, when searching San Francisco to Los Angeles, here’s what the weekly view looks like for a random week in April when using the promo code:
If you scroll down to the eligible flight, here’s the pricing breakdown:
If you then do a revised search by changing the dates to a week later but don’t re-enter the promo code, here’s what the weekly view looks like:
You’d be excused for thinking that the $25 discount is being applied to these fares due to the similar pricing, but that’s not the case. Clicking on the fare options shows why:
As you can see, the $46 fare is for Blue Basic which is what the pricing for a regular Blue fare would be had the $25 discount been applied when using the promo code. Just something to keep an eye out for.
