Despite rising airfares, there are plenty of last-minute deals for a European summer getaway. JetBlue recently announced the «Overseas the Day» fare sale, which provides discounted fares to Europe for as low as $299 one-way from either Boston Logan International Airport or New York's JFK Airport.

Those looking to explore the United Kingdom can fly to London-Gatwick Airport for $379 in Main Cabin or $1,299 in Mint.  The airline is also offering discounted one-way fares to Paris for $379 in Main Cabin or $1,299 in Mint.  The fare sale ends on July 20, 2024 at 11:59 PM, EST, for travel from July 28 through September 30.

Passengers in the Main Cabin also get a complimentary blanket, and a curated menu from New York's Dig restaurant chain.  JetBlue has been on the move with enhancements to help passengers during a busy summer travel season.
