Spring break is just around the corner, and there is a new way to save on flights.  JetBlue recently announced the ‘Big, Blue, Award Travel Sale’ which provides savings and discounts for awards tickets booked with its TrueBlue frequent flyer programs.

The fare sale is valid on travel from March 19, 2025, through June 11, 2025, however there are several blackout dates in April, and other restrictions apply. Travel + Leisure spotted a variety of other discounted flight routes including:
