New JetBlue routes and Double (elite) Points

JetBlue is starting the year off with some good news for frequent flyers: More routes and more points.

Double Elite Points

The double points promotion to start the year includes double “base” points which is what JetBlue uses to determine qualification for TrueBlue Mosaic elite status. They also count towards regular award travel. The promotion runs until 8 March 2015 and registration is required. Also worth noting that it only applies to newly purchased tickets.

New Routes

Cleveland it getting a bit more JetBlue love on 30 April 2015. The company had previously announced multiple daily flights between the North Coast and Boston; that will be augmented with daily service to Fort Lauderdale. Service will also be added from Fort Lauderdale to Detroit which also already has Boston service.
