JetBlue Travel Products’ President, Andres Barry, encouraged travelers to book early to secure the best deals and availability as the summer travel season approaches.
In addition to JetBlue, other airlines like Delta, United, and Southwest are also offering vacation options with customer perks, and various tourism companies anticipate a record-setting summer travel season.
