“As JetBlue celebrates our 24th anniversary, we’re continuing our commitment to low fares with exciting ways for travelers to save on upcoming trips to destinations throughout our network and experience more of our award-winning travel products,” Jayne O’Brien, the head of marketing and loyalty at JetBlue, said in a statement shared with T+L. “From vacations packages, TrueBlue points, special savings offers from Paisly and our everyday low fares, there is something for every customer to celebrate this week.”

The flight sale is also available on transatlantic travel to the airline’s European destinations like Paris and Amsterdam, and evenDublin, which is slated to launch in March. As part of the promotion, travelers can fly from Boston to Dublin starting at just $299 one-way, or fly from New York to Amsterdam, Paris, London, and more starting at just $399 one-way.
The sale comes as JetBlue has continued to expand its warm-weather destinations, recently launching a flight from New York City to Belize and planning to launch flights from New York to Tulum’s brand-new airport this coming summer. The airline also revamped its loyalty program to allow travelers to earn Mosaic status by collecting tiles.
The flight sale comes weeks after a federal judge blocked a merger between JetBlue and Spirit Airlines, citing antitrust laws, according to the Justice Department. The merger would have made the airline the fifth largest in the United States. Both JetBlue and Spirit will appeal the decision.

In the brief, the airlines argued that the merger was improperly blocked and pointed out that the same judge who ruled against the airlines joining forces also recognized that such a merger would: ”improve competition, and thus reduce prices, for the vast majority of consumers."
