For the return flight, there is a JetBlue option at 10:29 PM departing Seattle on February 13th.
With these flights, you have the option to book either directly on the JetBlue website or the American Airlines website due to their partnership in the Northeast Alliance. Plus, as part of JetBlue’s Mint-class option, these flights come with more benefits than JetBlue’s other fare options. For example, passengers flying JetBlue Mint receive not only one free carry-on bag, but two checked bags included in their airfare.
Along with this route, Mint fares also include priority security access, allowing you to save time at security checkpoints and avoid long queues.
