JET BLUE...

Is there a reason that I wouldn't want to book through Travelocity? They have $226 RT from BOS, which I would be happy with. ughhhhh


Maybe it won't work once I hit "complete booking?"

If you run into an issue you may have to deal with Travelocity to straighten it out and involving a 3rd party can complicate it. I believe JB may match any fares from OTA's.

how is it I can see the flights on kayak, but no on the JB site yet? I need to book on the JB site and I'm confused- now I'm doubly confused...this can't be correct- I look on Kayak,and I see a certain route/flight for my dates etc that I like, then I look on Expedia and see completely different options,and pricing for JB- I look on JB site,and see 'too early,not allowed to check' ..... the only valid site in this situation can be the JB site,right? I don't get how these sites can advertise something that doesn't yet exist to buy....

Flight release is generally in the afternoon and Not all routes get released at the same time.

what? I really need to learn how to fly JB obviously, do you mean that different 3rd party sites get different routes to sell? Once they're released on JB site, do they show all the routes on the first day, or just a select few?

They will all be out, it’s just not very fast. I use trueblue points so always book on the jetblue site. JetBlue release days are always chaotic. I’ve seen it too many times.

thank you for your help. I won't even be at the computer to check till at least 3 or so today, so I'm not going to stress. I'll check when I can,and hopefully book the flights I want when they appear for me. I'm a SWA vet, so this is all new for me.

I never book release day. For my route, the fare always drops. Good luck.

can you book a flight using cash and points,or only one or the other?

Me too.

If I'm seeing a 3pm non-stop flight for $100 on JustFly does that mean there's likely to be that flight when JetBlue releases? I'd love it for $100 but the time is more critical. For that time, I'm ok with paying more if I have to.

Unfortunately, It has to be one or the other...

got my flights for December! I chose dates at the very end of October and then kept adding one week at a time until I got up to my December dates. Took a while but I'm happy with $114 each way since the return is on a Sunday.

on their website?

 

[emmabelle]

yes! You have to keep hitting the next arrow on the page with flight times. It takes forever because their site is so slow, but I finally got there

its grey'd out, I punched in 10/26 & returning 10/27 but when it brings me to the flights, it's shows prices but they are greyed...& so is the future week arrow.

That worked! Not as cheap as what I saw on JustFly, but the 3pm flight!

Pretend you are booking for Oct 27th ... then you can arrow through the weeks.

 

[cmarsh31]

Except I just booked for the 16th not the 15th... thank goodness there's 24 hours to change. The change flight isn't working, guessing because there's an IT issue. Going to wait til 2pm and try again.

For those that are asking about seeing flights on 3rd party sites but not JB this is the reason why.

JB has opened up there flights IF you are booking in conjunction with "JB Vacation". So the 3rd party's are getting there info from that. If you mock book a JB vacation you too can see the flight times etc.

it's open now on my Ipad, doesn't seem to be showing on my desktop. I got my flights and then got my sister in law flights for November. Now I can breathe
