Amazing Deal: JetBlue Mint To London For $795 Roundtrip

If t here wasn't a pandemic, I go. With so many cases in the US and UK, thus is not the time to go unless you are Ben, whose professional life depends on flights like this and writing. Ugh.

@ Ben -- Coach SJU-JFK? Ewwwww.

JetBlue files fares to LHR with a high YQ and immediately falls victim to the most dangerous kind of pricing error- unintended combinations of fares leading to the YQ not applying and thus each ticket being more than $1400 cheaper. Should have done some quality checking before the big announcement, this makes it seem like amateur hour in Long Island City.

That's roughly a 5 hour layover at JFK. Ok so I'll admit I don't fly JetBlue much but is there a lounge where a Mint passenger can wait at at JFK?

@ Derek… not sure what your basis for alot of cases in the UK is as they had 2,400 yesterday and just under 2,000 2 days ago. I suspect they trend line will continue to be positive. If you don’t want to travel fine, but don’t act perplexed that Ben or anyone else would want to fly to the UK.

At first I thought how is this a deal but then I opened the email from JetBlue crowing about Mint r/t "from $1,979" and then I realized: this is a deal!

I thought it was an error flight when I booked this morning from FLL to London over Thanksgiving. Amazing deal for Mint!

Trading $1100 for a minimum extra 5 hours in each direction. For someone in the Northeast its an extra 10 hours each way!

I assume there's no way to hacker fare when you only want to take the second flight?

I think they’re all gone!!

I booked one from Denver this morning for $900. Just went to book another one and they're gone -- now $2,800 for same flights.

I snagged a fair out of RDU for a little more than $800 RT for November. Will be first time flying Mint but hoping JetBlue's expansion sticks in my home market, since I enjoy flying with them. Layover at JFK isn't too bad and figure I can just work from the terminal anyways. Thanks for posting.

Interesting, and it's nice to see Europe opening again. I would just caution people do their homework. I was in transit in FRA earlier in the week and whatever restrictions the German government has in place, it was severe enough that LH won't let you consume any food or drink in their lounge. When I got thirsty and wanted a simple drink of water, I had to exit the lounge. That doesn't bode well for doing things our on the town I wouldn't think.

I don’t see the deal here. If it were a mistake first class fare on SWISS or Air France that would be different story. After all we’ve been through. Looking for something more lucrative than this.

I doubt these fares are going to be the normal. They must Def be promotional. London charges about 200 usd for coach Pax (taxes) and 350 for business. I think they want to attract customers.

Probably for the best the fares are dead. I think people were jumping the gun with the UK. They are now saying they are in the start of a third wave of covid and some countries are blocking tourists who are coming from there. Kind of surprising the UK is still having these issues.
