Book today: JetBlue offering NYC-London business-class seats for under $2K
JetBlue is offering a last-minute holiday bargain on business-class travel between New York City and London in early 2024. You can book a round-trip business-class seat right now for only $1,835. And by right now, we mean right now — the offer expires at the end of the day Dec. 20.
Business-class seats for this incredibly popular route typically cost at least $2,500, so this is a fairly significant savings. Keep in mind this applies to travel between New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and London Gatwick Airport (LGW). A Saturday night stay is required to get the discounted price.
