JetBlue first week in December

[Miranda]

I'm starting to worry that I waited a little too long to book the first week in December.

When I checked JetBlue flights a couple weeks ago, the times we wanted for the non-stop flights from BOS to MCO were $183 for the outgoing on 12/2 (Tuesday) and $163 for returning on 12/8 (Monday). Now I haven't checked in a little while until tonight, and I see they are up to $199 each way.

I have seen it mentioned a lot that flights are usually cheapest 30-60 days before your flight for non-holiday weeks. I'm wondering if the first week in December counts as a holiday week since it's sort of the "holiday season"?

Part of me thinks, "Be patient, they might go back down" and part of me thinks, "Why didn't you book them 2 weeks ago dummy... you could have saved $104. Book them now so you don't lose more!" Do you guys think that the first week in December is going to continue to go up? The seat map makes it look like the planes are really empty, like only 20 or so seats picked, but I guess they could be booked and just not assigned yet?

Check today-- my flights from boston mid December just dropped and I got a great deal, around 229 roundtrip!
And.they were going up all month that I had been watching them.

If you think you'd fly Jet Blue again in the next year, I would book now and keep watching the prices. If they do drop, call and get a credit for your next flight. If not, you've booked at the lowest price possible and have piece of mind that you have a seat on your desired flights.

JetBlue changed its policy this week, they now charge $75 per ticket to rebook at a lower price.

OP, I had been watching flights for Dec. 6 and they dropped this morning. Worth checking again.

I don't think we will be flying JetBlue again within a year. I re-checked but they are still the same higher price today. We are flying out 12/2 and back 12/8.

I hate the uncertainty of plane ticket prices. The idea of waiting makes me anxious!
