JetBlue Mint + A BLADE Helicopter Ride
JetBlue is running a promo that provides a free BLADE helicopter ride to/from JFK or Newark on cash tickets in Mint. Naturally, I had to share just in case you want a last minute Mint trip and a helicopter ride!
If you book, I expect pictures from the helicopter!

Flight Experience
JetBlue's new Mint product on the Airbus A321LR is arranged in a 1-1 cabin layout. While I wish the seats weren't angled away from the windows, I found the Mint Suite to be spacious enough to sleep comfortably.
On both of my flights, I was impressed with the food and the crew. They genuinely seemed to want passengers to have a great experience.
If you want to upgrade the experience a bit, you can pay $299 to book a Mint Studio (the first row of the cabin). These two seats have a ton of space and you'll be served first so you can get to bed or settle into a movie.

Where To Credit The Flights
If you're not trying to earn Mosaic status with JetBlue, I would credit these flights to Qatar Airways Privilege Club. With Qatar Privilege Club, you can earn 125% of the total flight miles. Since Qatar Airways is part of Avios, you can move the Avios to British Airways if you prefer.
Use GCMap to check the flight distance and calculate redeemable miles.

Final Thoughts
If you're looking for a last minute trip to London, adding a BLADE helicopter ride and skipping traffic would certainly be a fun way to do it! Depending on your dates, I just might see you in London!
Happy booking!
