Jetblue opens tomorrow!

[focusondisney]

Got an email today about booking with True Blue points. Fine print says booking schedule will be extended Sunday Sept 14. Doesn't say how far out it will go. Good luck to anyone looking for good deals!

We love JetBlue

LOL. It's not up yet. I just happened to check because I'm looking for June 2015 flights. But I'm debating whether to book with JB or wait for SW to release their fares to compare. I love JB, but I've been fiddling with comparison prices and SW is beating JB by quite a bit. Just trying to decide if I want to take my chances and wait to see what SW offers.....

Thank you! Randomly looked here and saw this post that reminded me of jet blue. We found flights for spring break for $250 out of Newark. It is not the best fare we have ever had by far, but flight times are decent and we are booked! I couldn't wait any longer for Frontier!

VERY disappointed in JB! There is no longer an early morning non-stop flight from RIC to MCO. Loved the flight that got us there by 10 AM. Now the only non stop offered departs at 3:00 PM not getting us to Orlando until 5:00 PM. Wasn't thrilled with their prices either.

Guess I'm waiting for SW to release their flights. I did leave a message about my disappointment on their FB page.

So bummed

One thing I have noticed with SW is limited flights. Many weekend flights(which we need) are already marked Sold Out for Feb and March. So, it good to be able to consider other airlines. Thankfully, we have that option.

Been waiting, didn't get an email this time
Flights are pretty cheap for me compared to usual
Need to figure this out soon

We just booked for May 1 to May 8. Pricing was not as low as we had hoped, but we have to travel on weekends (Friday to Friday) so we knew we wouldn't be able to take advantage of the really economical mid-week options. Still in at $358 pp return, which is better than what we paid for our most recent trip this past August. Good flight times, too.

To those who care:
JetBlue Flights for May to June 17, 2015 have been released.

I started a new thread before stumbling on this one. Sorry.

We lucked out with $99 flights back from MCO on May 1 that go with the $101 flights we got to MCO for April 21. Not a bad RT from D.C.

That's really good. I got a GREAT deal on JB for Spring Break back in July when those released, but the June flights (and I'm looking at Thursday and Tuesday flights) from Richmond are high in my opinion AND they bumped our usual 8:00 AM non-stop to a 3:00 PM departure. YUCK! I'm going to take my chances and hold out to see what SW offers. I hope I'm not sorry ...

Our flight times are excellent (in the sense that they allow us to squeeze every last drop of time out of our vacation days). We arrive in Orlando at 9:40 am (7 am departure from SYR) and don't fly home until 7 pm on our departure day (arrival in SYR just before 10 pm).

I am just hoping they don't change those times substantially before our May travel dates arrive!

I was hoping for one of those lower fares from dca. Not so lucky, so didn't buy. We bounce around the wash dc airports now since JetBlue pulled their Florida flights out of Dulles. We love JetBlue, but hate the drive to Reagan from WV. If we get a better price we will jump on it.

 

[Groomer Gal]

Huh....I will be waiting to see SW fares...I have 4 airports to choose from near me (all within an hour and a half or less) and JB seems so high....more so than usual. ???

Too bad...we do prefer JB overall.

 

[Gina-Gina-Bo-Bina]

One leg of our flights dropped by $10 pp this morning. I called and was able to get the difference credited to my travel bank. Definitely worth keeping an eye on the prices.

I wish there were better options out of IAD because I was not pleased with JetBlue's move to DCA. The only reason why we're trying SW out of BWI in early December is because we can sleep at DSIL's house near Annapolis the night before.

Similar reason for us. My sister lives in crownsville, so we can park our car there and have them drop us off at the airport. We have 2 trips coming up. We are on SW out of BWI down, return to Reagan on JetBlue and will take metro to shady grove for a pickup by the kids. In November we are trying frontier out of Dulles (scared) and back to Dulles on united. I love JetBlue to come back to Dulles, heck even bwi would be ok, though that ride is longer, but not as bad as the drive to Reagan.

I thought they changed it to $75 or something before a credit??

Booked today at an average of 318 a person
Jb always plays games where the price is cheaper for smaller parties, have to make three reservations to get the cheapest price but it's done

318 not stop rt is pretty good for us, I paid 307 in 2010 and normal is 375-410 as of late

The $75 minimum only applies after 14 days after your tickets are purchased. Within the initial 14 days after booking, you can still get the credit for smaller amounts.

We didn't find these new fares horrible, either. We paid over $400 return for the end of August, so $348 for May is a step in the right direction for us. We could have flown for $225 pp if Tuesday to Tuesday flights worked with our schedules.

Just booked our flight on JetBlue for May 2015 from Maine to Orlando for $280 each round trip! Not going to beat that!
