JetBlue TrueBlue - Can I use TrueBlue Award anywhere on system?

Please forgive me if this has already been asked but I couldn't find it anywhere.



Can a Trueblue award be used anywhere Jetblue flies?

I can't seem to find a way to book from SWF to anywhere besides florida cities.

On southwest their internet interface has a similar problem, however there is a work around to do a point to point ticket on only one award.

Thanks

I think you will need to call but may have some difficulties.

Since they only fly to 3 Florida cities from SWF, that is all you are being offered.

SWF is very limited to only select FL cities as mentioned above. You may get lucky and might be able to conntect to Puerto Rico or even AUS or LGB or something like that. Your best bet, though, is the drive to JFK and you can go ANYWHERE practically nonstop.

I second driving to JFK. The drive would probably be about the length of a layover even if you could connect.

We will sometimes drive from Baltimore to JFK or EWR when going trans PAC. We will get a one way car rental to avoid expensive parking. We've had some good luck with both Avis and Hertz not charging drop fees.

I appreciate the reply, however I was only posting those routes as theoretical. Jetblue doesn't seem to be able to book a flight from CUN to MSY for instance.

Does this mean I can't use a true blue award for this?

I'm not actually asking for ways around SWF like JFK or EWR ... but I'm asking things in theory.

On WN it is possible to use awards on non-published routes.

Thanks

No, rewards appear only to be available on published routes. If they don't sell it, you can't redeem a reward for it. So, for example, SWF to any west coast destination is a no-go. But, there's a reason they don't sell these routes...they're impossible, or virtually impossible, without zany backwards connections, given JetBlue's current route map. Why, for example, would you want to fly SWF-FLL-LGB-OAK, which, at this point, might be the fastest way there, assuming flight schedules even make it possible to do in one day? (And, my example's not even that good, because it's not nearly as circuitous as some of the other possibilities from SWF).

Additionally, the availability of TrueBlue awards seems to be keyed somewhat to selling price. JetBlue will give away a "cheap" seat for free, but would rather take the cash when the fare increases. It would get very messy trying to gauge the revenue potential of a routing they don't even sell.

jetblue is a point-to point airline...not much of a hub base legacy carrier where you can get anywhere by flying to a hub and making a connection. So if for example you were trying to do MSY-CUN connecting in JFK you could not do it because not many people in their right mind would do that route anyway. I really don't think it's possible to get a true-blue award unless it's published or you have call up B6 directly to see if they can manually add each flight into the system which is possible- but you would need availability for the true-blue awards on the same day..as it is capacity controlled, but i highly doubt it. You could do it theoretically if you bought a ticket however..purchasing two separate ITINS

The only time i can think of when they did a pretty wack routing was when I was doing the training for B6 down in MCO. Some fellow trainees were from the MSY and FLL stations, yet they still routed them through JFK to get to MCO...which was ridiculous when they could've flown a direct flight from MSY-MCO on WN or another carrier in 1 1/2 hrs...it took them a whole day..especially the FLL person, when it probably was faster to drive then to fly all that way. but of course that was on the company travel..

Why, for example, would you want to fly SWF-FLL-LGB-OAK, which, at this point, might be the fastest way there, assuming flight schedules even make it possible to do in one day?

Because it is free. :D

That is my only complaint with TrueBlue awards...they advertise it as "free flight anywhere jetBlue flies" but then you can't redeem it for AUS-AUA for example.

Sounds like something 800-Jetblue should take care of. If they don't or can't, I agree with you. It's not called TrueBlueifyouliveinNY, but maybe it should be?
