UpstateCruizer Posted June 23, 2011 #108 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I'm still waiting to hear too....can't seem to find any information :( I'm also waiting for the Jet Blue release of flights for April and haven't been able to find that info anywhere. I like how Southwest posts it on their website. Jet Blue treats it as if it's a national security secret~! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how Southwest posts it on their website. Jet Blue treats it as if it's a national security secret~! I'm patiently waiting for Jet Blue as well! :confused: Not sure if I'm dreaming but I somehow thought I'd read somewhere that it's normally mid July when they release the next block of fares. I need flights mid January to and from San Juan from Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hancogran Posted June 24, 2011 #110 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Just received an email from JetBlue saying this Sunday at noon their schedule will be extended through February 15th, 2012 !! :D Hooray!:D Now I just have to remember to check on Sunday ! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that will be included with the next release after this one. Patience ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKNE Posted June 28, 2011 #112 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Ok so I have in my calendar that Air Tran opens up dates past end of Jan, today, June 28th. I go on their site and nadda, nuffin! :( JetBlue opened up on Sunday and already the flights have gone up in price! *sigh* Anyone receive word from Air Tran? I am looking at end of January :D I also heard a rumour that Southwest bought Air Tran and are merging in the early 2012. Wonder how that would effect a flight if booked now?!

recyclelady Posted June 28, 2011 #113 Share Posted June 28, 2011 The new block of Southwest fllights opens up on July26 (Tuesday). Anyone have experience with this? 1. Does the block open up first thing in the morning? 2. I think the prices are usually best when the block first opens. How long after opening do the prices stay relatively low? Thanks for any insight. I need to pounce that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted June 28, 2011 #114 Share Posted June 28, 2011 The July 26 is a target date. You may want to check the night before and then keep checking that day. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEtue Posted June 28, 2011 #115 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I'm still waiting for Jet Blue too. I need end of February and early March dates. Patience is the key here isn't it :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEtue Posted June 29, 2011 #116 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I have more than once that the schedule opens at 11am CST. But I would pay attention all day ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo70 Posted June 29, 2011 #117 Share Posted June 29, 2011 How long after opening do the prices stay relatively low? Thanks for any insight. I need to pounce that day. Depends how fast they are bought up! Do purchase them right away, as you can receive price drops on Southwest in the form of a credit towards a future flight. The future flight must be within one year of the purchase date of the trip where the price went down. For example if you buy on July 26, 2011 and in August 5, 2011 the price drops $50, you would be able to use the $50 for any newly booked flight up until July 26, 2012. The price drops are not automatic; you have to "cash in" on them online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve20832 Posted June 29, 2011 #118 Share Posted June 29, 2011 If you download DING, that will tell you when the schedule is released. They usually post something on Facebook as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to pounce that day. Whenever we've watched for the new releases on flights it's happened at 11am EST. As far as booking flights and prices it's always a crap shoot. If the prices are reasonable I usually book as soon as they open. The only times where we've seen significant drops have been on our fall flights. I could kick myself because I've seen several deals for our October flights this fall. While the credit is a nice perk with South West for price drops it's often useless to us as it has to be used within a specific amount of time. If you travel often it's a great perk. If you are traveling during a peak travel time prices tend to go up very quick. I've seen prices go up within a few hours of the initial release. Once the designated amount of fares are sold then the price jumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to pounce that day. I purchased SW tickets for Spring 2011 cruise as soon as the block was open. The prices were good. I believe SW will adjust your fare if it drops and you notify them. After making our ticket purchase, the fares increased as our flight was during Springbreak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been checking Jet Blue prices(Buffalo to San Juan) daily and they haven't moved one way or the other yet. I think I'm going to hang off a bit and see if there's any kind of drop. I agree..they are steep but compared to our Canadian fares from Toronto to San Juan, it's still cheaper :) Here's hoping they come down a bit!

tulch Posted July 11, 2011 #124 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I was able to find AirTran flights through Jan 20 2012 on Orbitz (but not on AirTran web site when I checked earlier today). I called and was told that flights can be booked through Jan 20 and in about two weeks, they will open up the next block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that the calendar months in their drop down menu go through March so I'm hoping to book tickets at the end of this month :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
