JetBlue Mint business class products are favorites among the points community. However, decent award redemption for Mint has been difficult due to the lack of redemptions with partners. There used to be a way to redeem Emirates Skyward miles for Mint, but that was discontinued.
Now, Qatar Airways makes it possible again to use the Privilege Club Avios to book JetBlue Mint. Here’s how.
JetBlue Award Chart With Qatar Airways
Qatar Airways has an award chart for partners based on the distance flown. However, Qatar Airways uses a different distance-based award chat for JetBlue flight redemption.
| Flight distance | Economy | Mint Business |
|---|---|---|
| 0-1,100 | 8.5K | 17K |
| 1,101-2,000 | 13K | 26K |
| 2,081-2,800 | 18,500 | 74K |
| 2,801-3,700 | 25K | 78K |
Use the Great Circle Mapper to help you determine the distance for the JetBlue Mint route you want to take. For example, the Boston to Dublin flight distance is merely under 3,000 miles, so you need 78,000 Qatar Avios points for a one-way JetBlue Mint redemption.
JetBlue Mint Routes 2024
The easiest way to find JetBlue Mint routes is to use the official JetBlue website.
It’s best to use the web browser on your computer’s desktop:
- Go to the JetBlue Mint route map website.
- Pick an airport in the From field on the left-hand side.
- Then click on the Stops button and select Nonstop.
- Next, ensure the Mint service button is selected.
- A list of destinations from/to the chosen airport indicates those routes have Mint service.
- If applicable, you may need to zoom in and out on the map to show more destinations.
How to Find JetBlue Mint Flights Award Availability
Finding JetBlue Mint flights using partner awards can be challenging, especially when Qatar Airways does not offer a comprehensive award calendar search. However, you can use the following method to locate JetBlue Mint flight awards that are available to book using Qatar Avios.
- Go to https://matrix.itasoftware.com/search
- Click on One Way, and provide the Origin and Destination.
- Click on the Show Advanced Controls button if it’s not visible.
- Input the C:B6 in the Routing Codes field.
- Then, input the F BC=I in the Extension Codes field.
- After that, select the See calendar of lowest fares from the Search exact date dropdown menu.
- Pick a Start Date.
- Finally, click the blue Search button. See the image below.
- On the search result page, the price on the calendar means that a JetBlue Mint flight is available on that date, which you can book using Qatar Airways Avios points (see below for the guide).
How to Book JetBlue Mint Flights With Qatar Avios
Booking JetBlue Mint with Qatar Airways Avios can be done online. Here’s how:
- Go to the Qatar Airways Redeem Avios website.
- Log into your Qatar Airways Privilege Club account if not signed in.
- Provide your search parameters, and then click the yellow Show Flights button. See the screenshot below.
If you encounter an error, you may not have enough Avios in your account. Therefore, you can combine your British Airways Executive Club Avios with Qatar Airways Privilege Club Avios first. I transferred 100 Avios points, and that resolved the error for me. However, YMMV!
If the award seat is available, you can view the Avios points and taxes needed to book it. See the screenshot below for an example.
Can I book multiple stops with Jetblue Mint using Qatar Avios?
Suppose you live on the West Coast and fly to London, but JetBlue does not fly directly. So, you must connect at another JetBlue airport hub, such as Boston or New York, which also has Mint service. In that case, you can still use Qatar Avios to redeem for such multiple stops; however, the pricing will be based on two awards instead of one.
Conclusion
JetBlue Mint business class rewards can now be booked using Qatar Airways Privilege Club Avios points. This provides a new avenue for redemption following the discontinuation of redemption through Emirates Skyward. Customers can use a custom award chart of flight distances to determine redemption points and book online via the Qatar Airways Redeem Avios website. Although multiple stops are possible with Qatar Avios, the reward pricing will be based on two awards instead of one.
