Anyone else waiting for jetBlue to release April 2008?

[athenna]

I am going crazy waiting, too. Hope this isn't too OT, but does anyone know if Boston to New Orleans always stops @ JFK in NYC? I've never gone there before and I am in April, and I am flying solo, so I am nervous...But no one goes there direct....JetBlue really is my favorite airline, though.

I just checked these dates out on Kayak and yes this is the price but not on JetBlue...It seems they are on American Airlines. ......But it is a Great price don't get me wrong.

I have a dilemma as I wait with the rest of you for April (22-30)....BOS/MCO. I finally broke down and applied for a JetBlue Amex card, never wanting to do so before because of the annual fee. Two reasons I changed my mind...already had 64 points and the new card is giving me 50 points.....immediate free ticket on JetBlue, completely offsetting the annual fee. The other reason is to keep my JetBlue points active since even though I go to WDW alot , it is never enough to accue the 100 points for a free ticket.Of course it takes 6 to 8 weeks for those points to go into my JetBlue account....got the card on July 3. So I am waiting for JetBlue to release April fares and also waiting for Amex to put those points into my account to buy the ticket. I had thought that JetBlue allowed you to use the points for any flights but thanks to BichonBarb here on the DIS I now know that there are only a limited amount of reward flights. Should I wait for my points from my AMEX account to buy my ticket if the fares are released? Should I pay cash and buy immediately? Normally I would have another trip planned but this is the end of an annual pass 4 WDW trip extravaganza.Also since I am going in the middle of Massachusetts school vacation and not off-season as I usually do the ticket price will be higher than I usually pay. I know I am playing a balancing game here and hopefully it will be a moot point and I will have my 100 JetBlue points in time. Sorry for the lengthy post......

To ellenec for the heads up on the $159 round trip. I put that airfare on hold for a different set of dates this morning (until I could talk to my husband) and the same flights are already $219!!! Wow!

Now I guess we just have to drive to JFK (about 2.5 hr) instead of BDL (15 minutes), but for that cost saving, I think it's worth it.

 

[minster22]

just a bump to bring this back to the first page....

 

[CTPinkPrincess]

I wish they would hurry up!! I'm monitoring USAir (gotta love spreadsheets! ) and don't want to pull the trigger yet in case Jet Blue comes through for me....

Can you tell I have no patience?

 

[ProudMomTo3Boys]

I was wondering the same thing as we went the same time last year. I went back and looked at my credit card statement to find out when I booked for April and it was August 2, 2006 for April 2007. I wanna book my airfare before my Disney reservations. I am not sure if I want to take the kids out for 2 days before the week they are off or 2 days after the week they are off. I don't know if the airfare will be cheaper one way or the other. I just wanna do it NOW!!!!

Amen!!!!

I am beginning to think that JetBlue is planing on releasing its March/April dates on the same day that SW is! Rumour has it that SW will release on August 23rd at 10 am. I wonder..............

According to SWA they will release on the 23rd BUT only until March 7th(that might help some)...new to SWA policy they have their anticipated open dates posted on their website so no more guessing

GRRRRRRRRRR Now would be good!

March 7th would at least get my flights down to MCO with Jet Blue! At this point, I agree with everybody else! It is past time for them to post the flights! The waiting is killing us all! I am going to keep my fingers crossed that JetBlue will take a page out of SW and start posting anticipated dates!

KUDOS to SW to starting the trend!

Meanwhile, the wait continues! Let's hope that tomorrow is the day!
