Book A Paid JetBlue MINT Flight To/From NYC And Get BLADE Helicopter Transportation For Free
Blade normally charges $195 for a 5 minute flight between Manhattan (West 30th St. or 499 East 34th St.) and JFK or Newark. You can save $50 off your first trip by signing up with referral code: Daniele831
If you book a paid MINT ticket to or from JFK or Newark and follow the terms posted below, you can get a free BLADE ride to and from the airport.
While award flights booked with JetBlue points or partner miles are excluded, you can use bank points to book a paid ticket.
In December I flew to Paris in a massive JetBlue MINT studio suite using Avios and my airline fee credit. Sadly, this promo is for paid tickets only:
You can pay for the ticket with “hybrid points” such as AMEX or Chase points with a card that allows your points to be used at an increased value for airfare in addition to be able to transfer points into airline miles.
If you have a Chase Sapphire Reserve you can redeem points for 1.5 cents each towards travel. If you have a Chase Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card® Card or Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card you can redeem points for 1.25 cents each towards travel.
If you have an AMEX Business Platinum Card you will get a 35% rebate of points used for all business class tickets like this. You can login to your account and redeem AMEX points for travel here.
Sample MINT routes, prices, and cost using Hybrid points:
- JFK to Aruba on 3/4: $542 or 35,249 AMEX Business Platinum points or 36,154 Chase Sapphire Reserve points.

Cool
Already booked like 3 weeks ago also I don’t live or work in Manhattan
Can always rebook if the price didn’t go up.
Price almost doubled
It’s a cool concept, but as you pointed out I’d you don’t live out work in Manhattan it might cost more to get from Manhattan to your destination than from the airport (especially if you live in Jersey and are landing in EWR).
It’s all hype, no substance
How do you book jet blue with avios?
