JetBlue Mint To Amsterdam From $997 One-Way
It's rare to see one-way business class cash tickets to Europe at such a great rate so I wouldn't hesitate if you want to book this one. It's possible to book a round-trip for roughly double, but you might decide you want to use points for an award ticket on the return.
Oh, and you can use Amex or Chase points to book this cash ticket.
Great find by FlyerTalker United944

Flight Experience
JetBlue's 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 really impressed with the food as well as 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.

Update To Booking Hotels With Extra Benefits
While you can still book via the self-service booking portal and get perks such as daily breakfast for two, a room upgrade, and a $100 property credit, I've made a small change.
Since some hotels aren't available via the self-serve portal, I've added an option to submit a booking request and I can book your stay manually.
IMPORTANT: You need to pick a hotel and find the Standard Rate/Flexible Rate before submitting a request. You cannot book member rates or prepaid rates with perks. This is not a service to comparison shop.
To book Four Seasons or Rosewood, there's a special request form Four Seasons Preferred Partner can book prepaid rates (it's the exception).
For properties not in the portal, Four Seasons, or Rosewood, submit your booking request here.

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 which means you'll earn ~8,675 Avios on the flights. Since Qatar Airways is part of the Avios platform, you can move the Avios to British Airways if you choose.
Use GCMap to check the flight distance and calculate redeemable miles.

Final Thoughts
While this will only work if you can travel in the next month or so, it's a fantastic one-way business class fare to Europe. If you're having hard time finding award space for specific dates, this could solve that issue!
Happy booking!
