Say you want to book a round-trip journey from Seattle to New York City. Explore Mint routes by clicking the below button on JetBlue’s website.

From the options on the sidebar, select your desired cities.

You can depart Seattle on Wednesday, Sept. 13, at 10:55 p.m. You can get a good night’s rest in the Mint lie-flat seats and wake up refreshed upon landing in New York City at 7:02 a.m. the following day.

Explore the Big Apple for about four days (and stay in one of the city’s top hotels), then return to Seattle on Sunday, Sept. 17. The 6:30 p.m. flight means you’ll have the day to enjoy the city but still get back to Seattle at a reasonable hour.

Each flight costs $548, which brings your round-trip total to $1,096. Below you can see all the perks you’ll receive with these Mint tickets, including early boarding, two free checked bags and free advance seat selection. You’ll also earn 3 TrueBlue points per dollar.

You can cut these flight prices in half if you only want to book a one-way flight.

Or, you can opt for an open-jaw journey and travel to multiple cities in one trip. For example, you could fly from New York City to Los Angeles and then from San Diego back to New York City. This way, you can visit both Southern California cities on your trip. (Remember, you’ll have to separately plan for and budget transportation between Los Angeles and San Diego.)
