Is Jet Blue scaling back?

[hardcorestitch]

I had been watching the flights home from MCO to BDL in September and one of the flights I was watching just disappeared off the search (It left somewhere around 5pm). There is now currently only one non-stop to BDL that day and it won't work for me because it leaves at 8am and I will be getting off a cruise. Southwest has one non-stop that day at 10:30am that day which is also too early.

Weirdly there are very few options that day on other airlines and even then they leave too early. I think I'm looking at having to book another night stay and go home the next day which seems crazy to me.

Is September just a weird time to fly? I've always had plenty of options for flights home.

The economy and the lack of international tourists are playing a factor as to why there are fewer flight options.

That being said, this is another reason why I will NOT ever consider flying back directly after I debark a Disney Cruise, opting instead to spend a few days in the parks.

That's just what I did. I waitlisted a night at BCV and it came through already! I booked JB the next day at 8am and I'm hoping that one doesn't get cancelled

They aren’t done yet. More routes to be cut, retrofits paused and some planes parked. CNBC

Happened to me too! I was looking at the 5pm-ish non stop on Jet Blue to BDL for Friday 9/26 and it just disappeared on me! Ended up extending the trip one day & got a 6:15pm on Southwest instead. I remember when both airlines had 3 nonstops a day to MCO & back

Bummer! At least you got to extend your trip! I extended by a whole day and I ended up using DVC points for BCV so not a bad trade off in the end!

I remember that too! Seems so strange to me that there is only ONE per day now!

I’m using my daughter’s apartment! I always use points on both SWA & JB so $11.20 round trip. Really can’t complain.

We are going out of BDL in September too. Seriously hoping they don’t cancel the non stop flights that we have booked!
