Cheap flights with JetBlue, Breeze Airways in December 2025. See prices

Season’s greetings!

Last week, the Federal Aviation Administration expected the Thanksgiving travel period to be the busiest in 15 years, with Tuesday, Nov. 25, as the peak day with more than 52,000 flights. As the holiday season continues, airports won’t get emptier — in 2024, 2.8 million people passed through TSA checkpoints on the Friday before Christmas.

The least-crowded dates for traveling around Christmas 2025, according to Nerd Wallet, are Dec. 18 (Thursday before Christmas), Dec. 31 (New Year’s Eve) and Jan. 1 (New Year’s Day). Peak travel days are Dec. 19-21 (weekend before Christmas), Dec. 26 (day after Christmas) and Dec. 28 (Sunday after Christmas).

With those tips in mind, if you’re looking to book some last-minute travel, here’s where you can fly this December with JetBlue and Breeze Airways from Vero Beach Regional Airport (VRB) in Vero Beach, Florida.

Tips for holiday travel

The Transportation Security Administration provides tips passengers can do proactively in preparation for their travels during the busy holiday season:

• Unpack your bag before you pack it. To avoid bringing prohibited items in carry-on luggage, start with an empty bag or suitcase. If you aren’t sure how to travel with an item, download the MyTSA app and use the “What Can I Bring?” feature. Another option is to snap a picture of an item and send it to @AskTSA on Twitter or Facebook Messenger for real-time assistance. Travelers can also send a question by texting “Travel” to AskTSA (275-872).

• Place gifts in gift bags instead of wrapping them. Wrapped items are screened just like any other item. If a wrapped item alarms the security screening technology whether in carry-on or checked luggage, a security officer may have to unwrap it to determine what the item is and confirm it does not pose a security threat. Consider traveling with unwrapped items or placing them in a gift bag for easy access and resolution.

• Enrolled in TSA PreCheck? Confirm your KTN is in your airline reservation. Make sure your Known Traveler Number (KTN) and correct date of birth are in your airline reservation so you will be eligible for TSA PreCheck screening. There are more than 100 airlines that participate in TSA PreCheck and TSA offers the TSA PreCheck experience at every airport nationwide.

• Make a plan for traveling with holiday foods. Most foods can be carried through the TSA checkpoint, but there are some items that will need to be transported in checked baggage. If the item is a solid, then it can go through a checkpoint in a carry-on. However, if you can spread it, spill it, pump it or pour it — and it’s larger than 3.4 ounces (100 ml) 11 then it should travel in a checked bag.

  • Food items often need some additional security screening, so TSA recommends placing those items in a clear plastic bag or other container when packing them at home and then removing those items from your carry-on bag and placing them in a bin for screening at the checkpoint.

• Plan ahead to request passenger support. Travelers or families of passengers who need assistance may call the TSA Cares helpline toll-free at 855-787-2227 at least 72 hours prior to travel with any questions about screening procedures and to find out what to expect at the security checkpoint. TSA Cares also arranges assistance at the checkpoint for travelers with specific needs.
