Anyone else waiting for jetBlue to release April 2008?

[cey]

So glad our party of 8 booked all our direct flights SYR-MCO yesterday! Return flight is now up by $50! Very Doubtful that prices will drop! Kudos to Jet Blue for making the bookings very easy! 4 booked on-line and 4 over the phone. What a pleasure dealing with polite, knowlegible agents! It sure takes the stress off of planning holidays with large groups!

I just booked our April school vacation 4/19/08 - 4/26/08 WDW flight
We're flying from Boston to Tampa non-stop for $242 per person round trip.
We reserved our seats for an additional $10 per person.
For those who care there was only one flight available at this rate so get to it before it disappears.
Good luck all,
Joe

I'm getting $299 each way SYR/MCO week of 4/12. Do they know that is the school vacation week around here or something? I looked into SYR/PBI for my parents from the end of Feb to the end of March, and I was getting $99 each way.

It's not fair. Wahhhh. Hopefully over the next week prices will come down. If not, we just ain't goin' anywhere on an airplane.

Roundtrip for us out of LGA or JFK to MCO is $750. They just lost a customer to AirTran.

I posted this in a new thread(I had forgotten about this one)...

For those in Western New York, I booked a flight for $260(including all taxes) pp roundtrip from Buffalo to MCO(traveling Saturday 4/12 to Sunday 4/20).

I might have been able to do better with Southwest or waiting until next year, but I didn't want to chance it.

Get out!! Lucky! 4/12 to 4/19 out of Syracuse would be $299 each way plus tax. So about $650.

I think anyone getting flights for under $350 during school breaks is doing well.

I ended up booking my flights for Apr 16-24 (Wed-Thurs). My kids' vacation starts on Mon, the 21st, so they'll have to miss a couple of days of school. I got $308 RT per person, which was a little less than I was prepared to pay, so I'm happy .

Those dates have the best fares out of PWM. However so few to pick from so you really need to be flexible on what time you fly.

I paid the same as you thru Delta for 4/17-4/25 so I think I did ok.

My DS is a senior this year and one of his days is full with classes. His other day he has early dismissal Sem 1 (only 2 classes) and late arrival Sem 2. He has no school on the 18th so he will only miss a half a day on the 17th and I am hoping it is his early arrival day and he will only miss maybe one class.

I got my flights this morning. I am flying SWF-MCO on Airtran for 250rt PP NS(inc selected seats cost)< I was waiting for Jetblue, but the good prices were gone when I got home from work . I still don't think I will get a better price than that at ALB on SWA so I am thrilled.

Its just not worth it. We switched to May. Our oldest is only in 3rd grade.

 

[NYDisneyKid]

I paid $109.40 for RT on JB in March of 08 flying from MCO to SYR like I said on a Mon,Tues,Wed,Thurs. Those are non-stop direct flights too. ºOº

 

[emmabelle]

Well I got my March trip to see the parents, Bos-Ft. Myers for $268 RT. I'm happy with that. I couldn't touch April school vacation so I'll wait to see what SW offers, otherwise I'll stay home.

I was so annoyed with Jet Blues airfare from JFK & LGA to MCO in April that I e-mailed them to let them know. I know it won't do anything but it made me feel better. We are going in Nov. and have a RT for $178 per person and now for April they want RT $798 per person. For 4 people that is $3200. That is crazy

 

[wdhinn89]

I wonder why jet blue fares does not come up on Kayak or Expedia for April. Any guesses?

 

[cey]

This is the reply I received from Kayak when I asked that very question! I really don't understand the answer, as last year the Jet Blue prices were posted on Kayak prior to their release on the JB website! The question I asked was why JetBlue did not show up at all after they had released March and April two days prior. I ended up cancelling my daily emails as they were not current.


Hi,
We don't update our site with pricing information - every time you execute a search, we go to the airlines in real-time to find their best prices. You should find the updated Jet Blue prices at Kayak.com with the rest of the search results.

Happy Kayaking,

Dan Q

I feel for all of you... can't say that I am not thrilled that I didn't wait for Jetblue and that I jumped ship and booked with Airtran... we fly out April 11 and return April 20 for $225 each... that includes taxes and seat booking!!!!! It is worth the hour drive to Rochester!!!

 

[cey]

I just checked and the same flight I booked Friday am for $258 per person is now posted at $458 per person! A jump of two hundred dollars in less that two days! Just plain crazy! I am counting my lucky stars all 8 of us booked the first day the fares came out! I guess they figure they can get that price because the flight is almost full!

I just booked my nonstop (from Vermont - a miracle) for $258 per person RT. Same price as I am paying in November which includes a stop in JFK.

I am so glad I was busy on Friday and Saturday and didn't have a chance to check the jet blue site. It appears the initial prices were much higher! I probably would have freaked out.

 

[Pig Pen]

Jet Blue definitely knows when the area schools' spring breaks are...I looked up Burlington to MCO flights for April 19-17 (our local spring break) and prices are $329 to $429 one way!

Bichon Barb - check Burlington VT flights for April 12-19. It may be worth the drive?

 

[ProudMomTo3Boys]

I think I may have convinced DH to drive. I told him we could do a stop over in Charlotte and see Lowe's Motor Speedway and he hasn't said NO yet. We'll see.
