For those that are as bummed as I am that Jet Blue will not be offering their All You Can Jet promotion this year, there’s still fun to be had flying multi-city itineraries for next to nothing.
Though it’s not as straightforward, applying for credit cards with award bonuses or buying miles outright and maximizing their potential can give you a similar experience to that which you would get with AYCJ.
Here’s a great post about using oneworld award miles to fly around the world for cheap. Citi recently offered 75,000 American Airlines miles on new credit card signups which may still be available.
Here’s a series of excellent posts on using British Airways miles to fly multiple stopovers with any oneworld airline for the cost of one award. Chase recently offered 100,000 BA miles, and will likely offer it again.
US Airways is offering a 100% bonus on purchased miles. You can use these with any Star Alliance carrier and are allowed one stopover per award. Here’s a great post on how to maximise those miles.
I’ll miss the unforgettable experiences I had with JetBlue and AYCJ, and I hope they bring it back in the future as there are more things I’d like to do that I otherwise never would have, but there are other adventures to be had with other carriers.
