Am I missing something?
I’m not new to using points and miles but have not used points for Jet Blue as of yet. I’m looking at booking a trip from Boston to London on Oct 28 through Nov. 8. (I like to plan ahead). I’m finding that I can book that flight in Mint for 241,300 points and $3,011 taxes and fees. If I book the trip with money, it will cost $2,439. Obviously, I’m missing something. Is it just not wise to use points to book Mint? Thank you so much for your help!

Are you sure you weren't looking at the one-way fare? You need to continue to the final checkout page after selecting both outbound and return.
