Traveling the world lets you take in new landscapes, people, and cuisine. You might picture San Diego sunsets or envision New England fall foliage. But that costs money, and your travel dreams might not make financial sense. JetBlue’s Book Smart sale puts picturesque places within reach with fares that are hard to believe. If you want a vacation bundle, you can do that too, with steep discounts on package deals.

If you’re flying from Boston (BOS), a Las Vegas flight costs $149 one-way; Nassau, Bahamas is $99 one-way; and Montego Bay is $179 one-way. Making those round-trip and adding a hotel costs $264, $459, and $716, respectively. 

No matter where you’re flying from, you can peruse the JetBlue website to find info on deals from the carrier’s various hubs. From Houston to Philadelphia, to Detroit, the airline serves airports across the country.

If that sounds good, you’ll have to act fast, with the sale ending soon. Fares are also subject to limited availability and may not be available on all flights.
