Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you’re using The Platinum Card® from American Express, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to get the time away from work or family.

JetBlue Mint is not only one of TPG's favorite business-class products, but it's also led to a revolution in business-class pricing on transcontinental routes. While the legacy US airlines used to be able to demand thousands of dollars for a nonstop round-trip in business class, JetBlue's competitive pricing has forced the legacy carriers to drop their prices.

And today we are seeing that competition in action, with lie-flat business-class transcontinental flights costing just $797 round-trip on three different airlines. No tricks are needed to find these airfares — just find the dates you want by searching with Orbitz, Expedia or directly with the airline itself.
