I am really confused. I just double checked JetBlue again and the fares are way cheaper in Feb and March than in May! How is this possible? Feb and March are prime time and closer in time.
Right now I can get AA for $466 non stop (JetBlue is close to $700) but I wanted to accrue my Trueblue points. Does anyone have any suggestions? Think JetBlue will go down or should I grab the AA flight? |

$466 is a great fare. Do you really want to wait and take the chance just for a few points?
When shopping for flights, I check all the airlines and go with the one that has the fare and route that works best for me. If I accrue miles that will eventually be beneficial, that's a plus but points will never prevent me from grabbing a good fare when it's available. |

corrine, i would never wait. i only wish that i could get non stop. add on a price of $466 and it would be wonderful. the only thing i can get from this area is a 90 minute drive to reagan airport for a 1-2 stop flight for that price. from baltimore a one stop flight is nearly $700. i have tried all airlines except jet blue since they only go out 4-6 months and i don't leave until august.

February and March are busiest months, that's why the airfare is cheaper in those months, with a full plane the cost is spread out. In February and March there may be 225 people on the plan compared to 100, divide the cost and that's how you get the higher airfare. Supply and demand.

We have been booking flights from Boston for $189.00 each way W/O tax non-stop in the months of Feb. & March for our family members to come down to vist. You can beat that price.

i just checked them. it's amazing that their prices are so high from baltimore, dulles and reagan. from dulles they are $628. american is $411. none of them are cheap from baltimore with american being the worst at 736!

I grabbed the $466 non-stop both ways from AA. We used the money we saved to book one extra night in Aruba!
Thanks again everyone! I can finally change my ticker! |

I just read about the AA price and sit here wondering, Will something change as it always does with this airline. I am sorry but I always go to Jet Blue. If the fare goes down we get a credit for our next trip. We fly during the week out of Boston, non-stop and never have a problem with schedule changes or stop over changes. . . . It maybe a little more (with weekday flights) but we like Jet Blue and will stay with them. . . . . As a side note, we have never paid more than $500.00 for a round trip, non-stop ticket. . . . . That's total cost with all taxes and fees. . . .

if jet blue offered a direct flight from bwi, iad or dca i would jump at it. jet blue doesn't. therefore i might as well go for price. from those three airports the price is a minimum of $100 more per ticket. american gives a charge back to your credit card if their tickets go on sale so i might as well go with the cheaper flight although i hate american. what the heck it gets me there and back and the extra money is a really nice extra meal or two.

We think Jet Blue is about the best way to fly, they have been right on with every reservation and delay's and
cancellations have been unseen.

I agree that JetBlue is the best in on-time schedules and in comfort. In fact, I am in North Carolina now, after a perfect flight with JetBlue.
I have decided to suck it up with AA's lousy service and uncomfortable seating and use the money I saved to get an extra night in Aruba! |

Bob that's the way we feel also, we take the 1:30 AM fight out of Boston, (189.00 W/O taxes N/S) if you can save 200.00 to 400.00 per trip for the reason of traveling early hours are well worth it.
Other ways we travel by using some of the charter fights in the past years there rates are around 400.00 to 500.00 round trip N/S
