For people looking for Jetblue fares through late Sept

[frannn]

I know the website is only showing fares through Sept 6th, but I was able to book my flights 9/8-9/18 over the phone, for 167 RT PP. I think the rep said the flights are available through 9/22 right now. I only found this out because I looked up my dates on kayak.com (many thanks to the DIS'er who recommended this travel site!) and Jetblue popped up! I hope this info is helpful to someone, especially with the free dining going on...
BTW, the rep said I was actually the first person to book this route (JFK-MCO), so we had our seating choice of the entire plane. We paid 74/each way over the phone, so I'm thinking the price would be 69/each way via the website once they are available online. I would've liked to hold off and saved the extra 15. (hey, its at least two Dole whips, right) by booking online, but there's no guarantee on what the fares will be once they are listed on the website. Odds are they'll stay at 69 till a bunch of seats are purchased, but DH said "go ahead", and that's all the arm twisten' I need, LOL...

Frann, thank you so much. I'd never heard of kayak.com, but I went there and my October dates came up, and what's more, the click-through link to Jet Blue worked! Even though on Jet Blue's home page, they're not showing the new dates yet.

So I now have my October JB flights - $115 each way from PWM to MCO, I'm happy.

The JetBlue website now lists seats through Oct 31. I need Nov. 5 though, so I guess I'll just have to wait, hopefully by May 3.

Wow! That's a great rate of out Portland!

And Frannn, thanks also for the Kayak reference, as I had never heard of it before. Now of course, it's bookmarked.

It's still a pity my November dates are not yet up. Sigh.

When I go directly to the website, I'm still showing dates only tru 9/6. When I go to Kayak, I can pull up the later dates.

and the fare drops? Will they issue you a credit or will they assess the $30 change fee before any benefit can be received?

We're also flying out of the NJ area and Newark is showing at $197/pp but JFK is $167 (on the website so no $5 savings over the phone rate received by OP). If I take JFK (although dh thinks it's worth $120 total to fly out of Newark over JFK) and the fare drops to $69 or even $59, will they give me a credit or will I lose it because of the $30 change fee?

Anyone with experience? I was planning about $150/pp so $167 is pretty darn close. But I don't know if I should buy now or wait a bit.

Yes and that's including all the taxes and fees! I was worried it would be a lot higher.
