Pro Tip of the Day

Resort Day Passes for Extended Layovers

Since we have no travel today, I thought I would share a bonus tip we use when we have extended layovers. Instead of camping out in airport terminals for hours, consider purchasing day passes to luxury resorts near your destination airport. Services like ResortPass offer access to hotel pools, spas, day rooms, and other premium amenities without requiring an overnight stay—often starting at just $25.

This is particularly valuable in JetBlue destinations like Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and the Caribbean, where world-class resorts are often just minutes from the airport. Imagine turning a 6-hour layover in Fort Lauderdale into a relaxing day at a beachfront resort pool, or using a long connection in Phoenix to unwind at a luxury spa.

ResortPass operates in over 400 cities with access to 2,000+ hotels worldwide, covering virtually every major JetBlue destination. You can book pools, spas, cabanas, beaches, and even day rooms for a few hours of genuine relaxation. It's an excellent way to maximize your time during the challenge while maintaining your energy and sanity.

The beauty of this approach is that you're already paying for flights—a small additional investment in comfort and relaxation can transform potentially stressful layovers into mini-vacation experiences. For challenge participants who'll be spending months navigating airports, these brief escapes can make all the difference in maintaining momentum and enjoyment throughout the journey.
