B6: JFK/BOS - AMS $1890s RT Sep-Dec

JetBlue (B6) has recently put up for sale their JFK and BOS flights, available on their website booking directly. Unsure of reciprocal AA earnings, maybe someone can chime in there.

Looks available last week of September, through early December. I didn't notice any stay restrictions (ex: Oct 6-9 pricing same as below).

No AA earning on JetBlue Transatlantic flights.

One way pricing doesn't seem to work here. (It's 3 x half round trip) I guess that prevents people from buying two one ways with the AMS - US leg being cheaper.

$1.421 actually. Not bad. No Lounge, 2 checked bags. Does JetBlue do free seat selection for Mint? Couldnt find that

There are similar prices on London flights on Jetblue too.

Looks like free unless you want the front ones.

The TPG review of Jetblue "Mint" (biz) on the London route suggested the front two seats are "Mint Studios" and larger/nicer, but the site isn't saying anything to that effect to me right now looking at booking one. The same review did also say their IT is beyond awful though.

You can credit it to Avois via Qatar.

I get some value out of TrueBlue points. I have used them for several flights between Nashville and FLL or BOS. Usually under 10K points for a free flight. They are pretty easy to use and not a lot of restrictions. They remind me of Rapid Rewards Miles with Southwest.

With these types of fares from BOS to Europe, I can skip the lounge and use points to reposition to BOS and have a nice meal somewhere with the money saved.

Generally airlines will reprice the itinerary as a one-way if you cancel the return. Since a one-way is more than the return, there won't be any credit due.

Too bad JetBlue doesn't have good deals on connecting itineraries to the West Coast. AMS-JFK/BOS-SFO all in Mint would be a serious threat to the legacy carriers.

Hoping for a price war to AMS like we have seen to LHR ... time for *A/OW/ST to match!

This still works. Extended ?? Did anyone realize that the round trip base fare in Mint is only $56. The rest is taxes and fees. Ideal candidate for a trick which shall not be named.
