JetBlue Mint To Aruba, Up To 7 Seats


If the recent cold weather has you looking for a way to escape to warmer weather right now, JetBlue has a nice chunk of award space to Aruba in Mint (business class) in the next couple of months.

Please note that a cash fare might make more sense so it's worth doing a quick Google Flights search to compare.

Flight Experience


You'll find JetBlue's older Mint product on this route. The cabin is arranged in a combo 1-1/2-2 layout. If you're flying solo, make sure you try to get one of the solo seats. If you have a travel companion, I'll let you decide if you want space.

You can expect the usual great service from the crew plus a really nice meal and tasty cocktails on this 4 hour 50 minute flight.
