Jetblue fares on SWA release date

[clanmcculloch]

Does anybody know what typically happens with Jetblue fares on the day that SWA opens up their bookings? I'm planning on being perched at my keyboard on Tuesday to book my flights for August. I'm just wondering if there's much chance that JB will lower their fares that day? I'd really like to try JB this trip but their current fares for my dates are much higher than I want to pay (199 each way pp for the times I want) and I'm sure SWA will be lower when their fares are first released (I'm hoping they'll open at $104 or lower but I realize they may be as high as $149).

Sometimes it takes a day or two before a competitor will match the current rates of others. I find the rates drop on Wed/Thur

Jet Blues prices do not vary any where near as much as other airlines. I'm willing to bet they won't change at all when SWA open their dates. Jet Blue is usually the cheapest at the beginning and the price rises as the plane fills. They occassionally have a sale but not very often.
