JetSetter Adds 15% Off a Jetblue Flight to Their Luxury Hotel Sample Sales

Very recently, we snagged a night at the Park Hyatt Chicago for 50% off, a deal we'd never seen before until it popped up on private travel sample sale site JetSetter.com.

JetSetter, the travel arm of the Gilt Groupe online sample sale network, launched last September and since then, has been dedicated to knocking unreachable 5-star resorts down to more affordable levels. And today they're doing something new; they're partnering with Jetblue to offer 15% off airfare on the airline to four of their hotels on sale.

The deal begins today at 3pm, with Cap Maison in St. Lucia, the Ralph Lauren-designed Round Hill in Montego Bay, Jamaica, Le Domain de Lonvilliers in St. Martin and The Crane in Barbados. It's like a package vacation without the gross package-ness.

Jetblue Partners with Hilton for TrueBlue Points. Yes, Hilton

JetBlue has done some pretty cool things lately from Cheap Tweets to Sample Sales, $10 fares and giving away free stuff on the streets in NYC. But we're finding it hard to get excited about the latest news regarding their TrueBlue loyalty program.

The airline has teamed up with Hilton Hotels and the HHonors program. The good news here is that you can earn TrueBlue points everytime you stay in a Hilton-branded hotel, from Waldorf-Astoria hotels to Homewood Suites. It also works in reverse, meaning you can take your HHonors points and use them for JetBlue travel.

Right now, the program is allowing members to earn both HHonors points and one TrueBlue point for every $1 spent during the double points launch promotion from now through July 15. Plus HHonors has no blackout dates or capacity controls so it's a little more friendlier than other hotel deals.

But Hilton, really?

Inside The Hollywood Roosevelt's Tower Rooms

Where: 7000 Hollywood Blvd [map], Los Angeles, CA, United States, 90028

While off about the world, staying in everything from bed-and-breakfasts to five-star hotels, don't forget that you need some transportation to reach these places. Over at Jaunted, we've been covering the launch of Jetblue's inaugural LAX routes, and the airline was kind enough to put us up at the good old Hollywood Roosevelt, conveniently around the corner from their afterparty at the club MyHouse.

Since we've already been to this hotel previously, staying in a cabana-level room, we'll make this review of our night in a tower-level room short and sweet.
