jet Blue prices

[Jaylie]

Could you tell me if Jet Blue prices might come down if I wait to book? Or should I book now? Also, if I were to book now, and then the prices came down, would I be able to get the lower rate and have the extra held for another flight later? i've only flown Southwest, so I know how that works! Thanks.

Without more information to the current flight you are looking at, it's hard to say. In general I would expect to pay more this year and next than the last few years in part that airlines have cut capacity and have been successful and raising fares to profit levels.

That said, Jet Blue does allow you to obtain refunds if you book a flight and there are seats available at a lower price at a later date (as long as it's the same exact flight). Many will say you will need to call, but I've done this all online, you just modify your flight and go through the process, it will deposit the funds into a travel bank account, good for one year from the date the credit is applied and can be used by anyone (this is different than Southwest where it is one year from original date of purchase and can only be used by the original ticketed passenger).

It depends. When are you looking to go and what airport will you be traveling from?

Jet Blue's prices do fluctuate somewhat but they are usually the cheapest when they are first released. Even if they do come down JetBlue will issue you a travel credit if you call them.

It would be helpful to know your dates of travel, airports and what price you are seeing???

We are looking at Boston to San Francisco Roundtrip in June. We'll be visiting my son and granddaughter and are planning a trip down to DL. I can't give exact dates yet because I have to coordinate the whole trip with him.
