They are mostly A320s right now from what I've seen, but the frequencies haven't really jumped. I could really use a morning ex-AUS and a late ex-BOS departure too...but this is the wrong thread for that . Doubt AUS will see Mint ever, outside of maybe SXSW/ACL/F1, and then I would only bet on a maybe for SXSW.

I was able to snag a r/t JFK - BGI in April using my TrueBlue points (Mint down and Core back). The flights are in September and Mint was only $399 or 28,700 points at the time of booking. Currently, I think it's $599 or 44,200 points.

Those are all connecting flights via JFK or BOS. I'm willing to bet that when the nonstop service is introduced the prices are more reasonable. UA is selling at $485 and VX at $849. I expect B6 will show up somewhere in between.
