JetBlue Puts 3N Caribbean Resort Packages On Sale for $599 with Air

You won’t have much time to make a decision, and you will have to navigate a bunch of rules, but this is one of those great deals that come only during dire economic times. On December 15, 2008, JetBlue Airways put on sale 5,000 More Beach for Your Buck Caribbean Getaways air and hotel packages, priced at $599 per person or less.

Offering incredible value, the special packages include round-trip airfare from JetBlue’s Northeast cities of Boston and New York/JFK, and many feature accommodations at 4-star or above Starwood Caribbean properties.

There is fine print, but this is, overall, a great deal you can proudly put under the tree this year.

Fine print: Offer ends 12/31/08 or until last package at advertised price is sold, whichever is first. Package must be purchased by 12/31/08 for travel 1/3/09 through 3/31/09.
