jetblue question

[danyella522]

what is your general rule of thumb what it says 4 seats left at $such and such price... does that mean it usually goes up? or going down? There seems to be quite a few seats left on the plane. However, my trip is in a month. I don't want to wait too long and pay too much. The price is about $300 more then I paid in January for the same flight. Advice would be SOOO very appreciated.

Except for a sale, it ALWAYS goes up. It's JetBlue's policy and can be found on their website, although I don't recall where exactly. Once a fare sells out, they start selling tickets at the next lowest fare bucket - even if, at some point, passengers with a lower fare change their plans.

so hard to pay way more then I wanted
so you are saying I should probably take the plunge?

thank you for the information
I don't know much about airlines

For the trip in your ticker? YES!!!!! It's extremely unlikely the fare will drop!!!! If it does, you can call JetBlue and see if they will credit your TrueBlue account with the difference (go sign up for an account now - it's free) with no penalty. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. I don't know what the policy is at the moment.

But this close to departure, odds are they're not going to offer a lower fare.

Write down the "base" cost of the ticket.... if it was $104 each way per person, etc... because if the price goes down you can call JetBlue and ask for a credit in voucher form that is valid for 1 year...

I love that JetBlue does this...takes the guess work out of "when should I buy" for us
