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.
Other airlines have similar types of calendar views such as Southwest Airlines and American Airlines. United Airlines has a dedicated webpage on their site with flight deals that are continuously updated.
JetBlue has routes to over 100 destinations across the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean, Canada, and some parts of Europe. The carrier recently announced a new service to Tulum, Mexico starting June 13. (Using JetBlue's Best Fare Finder, the most affordable tickets are available the opening weekend of the route, only $178 one-way. In comparison, the same route is $403 later in the month.)
JetBlue is known for providing an elevated inflight experience with the theme «air on the side of humanity.» The airline provides free Wi-Fi, live TV, and premium snacks to passengers in the economy cabin. Roughly 42.5 million people traveled on JetBlue in 2023, which was 7.5 percent higher than in 2022, according to a recent earnings report.

Last September, my husband and I left our kids with their grandparents and set off to Ireland. Our $2,132 itinerary took us from Minneapolis to Toronto to Dublin on tickets booked on United Airlines through Expedia but ultimately operated by Air Canada, a United partner. We had boarded our connecting flight in Toronto (and I was already dozing in my seat) when the captain announced an operator had crashed the jet bridge into the starboard engine. We were given hotel vouchers and told we would be rebooked for the next day. Checkout time came and went without a word, so we went to the airport and were told to call Air Canada customer service. An agent booked us a flight for that evening, and we printed out boarding passes at an airport kiosk. But when we tried to board, we were told the boarding passes were invalid. Eventually, we were offered two options for the next day: Fly to Dublin via Newark, or return to Minneapolis. We cut our losses and went home after staying the night in Toronto at a hotel. But United refunded us only $1,087, barely half of what we paid. Air Canada did reimburse us for the second hotel and other expenses, but we believe the airlines owe us not only a full refund, but also 400 Canadian each ($295 apiece) under Canadian law for denied boarding. Both refused. Can you help?
American Airlines' AAdvantage program still offers a compelling partner award chart. And you can often find good-value domestic awards, too. One of the strongest aspects of the American AAdvantage program is the value of its miles. However, it can be difficult to earn and redeem American miles, as the airline does not partner with major credit card rewards programs such as Chase Ultimate Rewards, American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One and Citi ThankYou Rewards.
