Jet Blue Travel Deals

Jet Blue (www.jetblue.com) is offering some unusually low fares on many of its routes this winter, provided you book by the end of tomorrow, January 17.

There are quite a few restrictions with these fares, such as seven-day advance booking, and travel is confined to the period of Jan. 23 to April 2. In addition, flights must be on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, and some routes may have further requirements.

Sample fares from New York include $99 to Tampa FL for sun seekers, or the same price to Denver CO for skiers. From Boston, you can fly to Washington DC for just $54, to Charlotte NC for $59, or to the Turks and Caicos Islands for $219.

I have yet to fly Jet Blue, but I did notice that during the very bad holiday weather in the northeastern United States this year they shut down operations for some time, leaving many passengers stranded in airports. Other airlines also cancelled many flights, but they were the only one to completely cease operating for a number of hours in their core market.
