I have a question about the Mosaic 1 additional benefits. It says something about being able to choose, for example IGH Platinum Elite status - which expires with your status... well forgive me for being optimistic but isn't this 25 years?! I feel this could be a pretty damned good bonus to choose. Has anyone a link to these benefits.
Oh and while I'm here again this is what Perplexity AI spat out. I'm sure some of it is nonsense and it would need correctly pricing but here it is

# Optimized 25-Airport “25 for 25” Route (Start/End BOS)

Below is a geographically coherent itinerary visiting 25 distinct JetBlue-served airports, starting and ending at Boston Logan (BOS), with minimal backtracking and no overnight connections. This routing follows a roughly clockwise U.S. and Caribbean loop, maximizing proximity between sequential stops.

| Leg | From → To | Region |
|-----|-----------|---------------------|
| 1 | BOS → SYR | Northeast (NY) |
| 2 | SYR → BUF | Northeast (NY) |
| 3 | BUF → CLE | Great Lakes |
| 4 | CLE → PHL | Mid-Atlantic |
| 5 | PHL → RIC | Mid-Atlantic |
| 6 | RIC → IAD | Mid-Atlantic (via DCA route)* |
| 7 | IAD → ORF | Mid-Atlantic |
| 8 | ORF → LGA | New York Metro |
| 9 | LGA → BOS | Northeast loop close |
| 10 | BOS → PVD | New England |
| 11 | PVD → PWM | New England |
| 12 | PWM → BOS | Return hub |
| 13 | BOS → BDL | Northeast (CT) |
| 14 | BDL → ACK | Northeast (MA coast)|
| 15 | ACK → BOS | Coastal return |
| 16 | BOS → ATL | Southeast hub |
| 17 | ATL → MCO | Florida |
| 18 | MCO → FLL | Florida |
| 19 | FLL → PBI | Florida |
| 20 | PBI → TPA | Florida Gulf Coast |
| 21 | TPA → MCO | Loop close in FL |
| 22 | MCO → RSW | Florida SW coast |
| 23 | RSW → SJU | Caribbean |
| 24 | SJU → STT | Caribbean |
| 25 | STT → BOS | Return home |

* JetBlue does not operate IAD–RIC nonstop, so connect via DCA (IAD→DCA→RIC).

## Notes on Cost Optimization

- All segments are one-way JetBlue-operated flights (no Blue Basic).
- By bundling multiple short northeastern hops together and clustering Florida/Caribbean in one southern loop, this itinerary minimizes repositioning.
- Assuming average midweek fares of \$49–\$79 for short hops in the Northeast and \$59–\$99 for Florida/Caribbean one-ways, total base-fare estimate for 25 segments should remain under **\$2,000**.
- Final pricing must be confirmed on jetblue.com by selecting “one-way,” excluding Blue Basic, and prioritizing midweek dates within June 25–Dec 31, 2025.

Do all these segments actually exist as bookable on JetBlue?
