Finding the lowest price for a flight can be challenging, but one airline has a somewhat hidden tool to help travelers snag the best deal. JetBlue has a section of their website with a fare calendar that displays flight prices in grid view between an origin and destination airport, helping travelers plan a vacation to get the lowest cost airfare. The tool, called "Best Fare Finder," is located under the «Book» tab on JetBlue’s homepage. The page allows passengers to select how many children and adults will be traveling, whether they would like to pay in cash or TrueBlue miles, and then choose the desired destination from any airport. For example, the price of a flight ticket from New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Orlando International Airport (MCO) in April 2024 varies widely. If a traveler booked it for April 18, they would pay $259, but if they can wait six days later, the price drops to only $70. The Best Fare Finder provides all of the prices in the calendar view.
7 reasons why the Amex Blue Business Plus Card should be in everyone’s wallet
12.02.2024 - 18:11 / thepointsguy.com
With many choices when it comes to business credit cards — including the different fees, rewards and redemption options that come with them — choosing the right card for your company might have you feeling adrift.
This is where TPG can step in and help.
An underrated card that deserves consideration is The Blue Business® Plus Credit Card from American Express. Amex designed this card for small businesses and sole proprietorships using a straightforward reward system.
You can earn rewards on everyday spending as well as business expenses, with no annual fee (see rates and fees). Here are seven reasons why the Blue Business Plus card deserves a spot in your wallet.
There is no annual fee to carry the Blue Business Plus (see rates and fees), so there's really no reason not to apply — unless you're being mindful of how many cards you apply for to stay within Chase's 5/24 rule. If that's not the case, though, the Blue Business Plus is one of the best no-annual-fee business cards on the market.

Amex Membership Rewards points are some of the most valuable on the market. Amex has the largest network of transfer partners of any major credit card loyalty program in the U.S., which means you can transfer your points to any of Amex's 21 partners — 18 airlines and three hotels.
This gives you access to promotional offers from airline and hotel programs around the world.

You'll earn 2 points per dollar on every purchase you make on the Blue Business Plus card for the first $50,000 you spend annually. The rate drops to 1 point per dollar after that. This is one of the best rates for any business card when it comes to everyday spending. Plus, there are no bonus categories to track.
The only downside is that you may be forgoing larger bonuses offered by other cards in certain spending categories.
For instance, if your business books many flights, this card would work best in tandem with The Business Platinum Card® from American Express.
Related: What are American Express Membership Rewards points worth?
Pairing the Blue Business Plus card with other Amex cards like the American Express® Gold Card and The Platinum Card® from American Express creates an Amex trifecta — in which all cards earn Membership Rewards points.
With this trifecta, you will always earn at least 2 Membership Rewards on all purchases across the board. The Gold Card earns 4 points per dollar on dining and at US grocery stores (on up to $25,000 in purchases per year, then 1 point per dollar), while the Platinum card earns 5 points per dollar on flights booked directly with airlines or through American Express
