JetBlue sked changes...check your res!

[Eponine1]

Hello,

For those flying from Bradley in Oct/Nov/Dec....check your JetBlue flights for schedule changes.

I just noticed my return is longer at 8:10 pm but now at 6:20 pm

Why would any airline take 2 Disney hours away from someone??

Just call them and they will change your flight for free. If they adjust the times and your not happy they will make the change for free. See what other times you like better. I changed ours already. They even made the flight with a stopover into a non stop for no extra cost and the times are much better.

Oh...I'm really fine with the change. That is their latest non-stop out of Orlando to begin with so I'll take it.

It's still a non-stop but just leaving earlier. I can't add on a night (work) so this is still good.

But....2 less hours at the world....I'll survive I guess. Actually they did a schedule change on the outbound about a month ago and we picked up 1 1/2 hours there so I'm good.

I like JetBlue (and Southwest too).

I'm actually happy about the change. We booked leaving from Boston, but returning to Hartford because of the $99 fare. The 6:20 return works out better for us with little ones. Had to re-arrange our last day lunch reservations, but that's okay - we still get part of our last day at MK.

It's crappy for me There are only 2 flights from Hartford, one in the am and one in the pm, so I lose 2 hours of WDW time. I can't stay an extra day, either. I even asked if they were partners with anyone that I could fly back later with, but they said no. Here's to praying they change it back!

Since the change is almost 2 hours, they should give you a refund if you can find a better flight with another airline.

It looks like the only domestic airline they partner with is American.

Consider yourself lucky - we were originally booked in December from Westchester and our flight changes amounted to a total of 8 hours! Our 6:30 outbound flight was bumped FIVE hours to 11:30am and coming up was pushed up from 7:30 to 4:30pm! Our trip is only a long weekend anyway, so the changes made a signifcant difference. I noticed it last night when checking on prices and called right away - they were able to rebook us on flights from BDL instead, so we gained back the 5 hours outbound, and our return flight is now at 6:20. As you said, it's not 8:30 or even 7:30, but it's not 4:30 either. I'm glad they let us change, even if HPN would've been more convenient for us.



ETA: I check everyday and was lucky to notice the change. I wonder when they will notify other passengers, as I would've been very upset if we were unable to make alternate arrangements because we found out too late!

For returning from Orlando to Bradley the only non-stops are Delta, JetBlue and Southwest.

Southwest's latest return is at 2 something. Delta is a 6:10 and JetBlue at 6:20 pm.....so JetBlue for me is still the best even if it was changed from 8:10 pm.

Thanks for the heads up. My flight going down was moved up 1.5 hours so it evens out for us.

I actually like it better since we have to drive 2 hours home. However I really wish Jet Blue would email me when the flights get changed.

Agree...you will probably get one in a few weeks. I just happen to be looking at my res at the time and discovered the change.

 

[SamanthaL]

They do email but it takes time. I noticed my change on my own but then they did email about a 5 days later.

 

[Arielle22]

I never got an email when my flight down changed. I was looking at prices for my sister and her family to join us when I noticed the time change.

Since I know now to check, it isn't a big deal to me. We usually leave our last day open and do whatever my daughters want so I have no plans to change.

They said when I called today it had to be more than a 30 minute time difference in the change (mine was 40 minutes but I'm trying to get to a nonrefundable food and wine event and landing 40 minutes later could be a problem), and you can't switch airports. But you can change your flight without charge to any flight the day before, the day of, or the day after. So now I'm arriving 6 hours earlier.

2 hours is a long time. I booked JetBlue in March for my trip in September and they have changed the schedule twice so far, but only 15 mins each time - first time leaving 15 mins earlier, and then they changed it back to the original time

Flying from Dulles. So far both our flights are unchanged. We are flying Oct 7. and Oct. 15.

I was told by Jetblue that they set the times they want then as the date gets closer the airports let them know when the have available airspace. They said that is most often the reason for the changes. Not sure but thats what I was told.

That's not always true - they let me change my airport. Granted, my original flight was eliminated entirely and we were pushed to a flight 5 hours later than our original outbound (and 3 hours earlier inbound) but they did rebook us on flights traveling through BDL instead of HPN that were close to our original flight times.

Look for Airline.

Jetblue has changed our flight from Dulles AGAIN! We keep losing precious park time and we have the earliest flight of the morning. Called and they offered to change us to a later flight I'm sorry.....have you not been listening to me? We have the earliest flight and you keep bumping the time to later and later in the morning. Why on earth would I want to rebook for a later flight? So, I asked if I could change the flight on our departure date to a later time to kinda make up for the hours we are losing on the first day. You guessed it.....the answer was no. We will now be missing our dinner reservations we made for our first day at the parks because of the schedule change. I've checked, and there's not another dinner reservation to be had for a later time that day. I give up!

I love that 6:30 a.m. flight - we took it last year and booked it again for this October. A couple of months later they moved it to 8 a.m., which I can live with. But if they get rid of it and move us to that 11:30 it's really going to cut into our short weekend.
