JetBlue Vacations announced a new trip-planning portal to help travelers create a personalized, hour-by-hour vacation itinerary.

The new portal, created in partnership with Utrip, is available through JetBlue Vacations and allows travelers to consolidate trip planning, including flights, hotels, dinner reservations and more. The portal uses artificial intelligence and locally curated recommendations to save customers time.

By integrating Utrip, a destination discovery and planning platform, into the JetBlue Vacations online experience, travelers can discover more than 150 destinations in the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean based on what matters most to them. Through the partnership, travelers using the Utrip feature can book a JetBlue Vacations package and create an itinerary with a curated list of local recommendations.

The new planning portal takes into account preferences including history, food, nightlife and budget and combines it with bookings and reservation itineraries to create a seamless travel experience.

In addition to the new planning portal, JetBlue also makes traveler’s lives easier with the launch of monthly payment options. In partnership with UpLift, travelers now have the option to pay for vacation itineraries — including flights, hotels and other amenities — up front or in 12 monthly installments.
