Awesome! Great to see some deals for flights departing from the west cost. I wish they had similar prices from SFO
Dont know how else to post a deal, but cheap tickets now on jet blue. I just bought for 214 lax to nyc
How does the $600 travel credit work? We were just approved, and the terms said $300 annually.
Thanks
