My trip isn't until April but I figure it's never to early to start watching the airfares, so today I went on Jet Blue to check on flights from Boston to Orlando and was very surprised by the limited number of flights offered. They used to have a flight out at about 6:00 AM (which we love b/c we are "home :mickey:" at about 9:30 and have the whole day) now it looks like the earliest flight is 9:00 AM :confused:
Is Jet Blue cutting back on their flights to Orlando?

We have noticed the same thing. I think they want to make sure ALL the flights are full, therefore, offer fewer flights. We have actually noticed this pattern for the last year or two:mad:

That's weird!!! They always had a 6 a.m. flight out of Boston.
I wouldn't book so far in advance but keep watching the fare. If you're not going April vacation week, chances are you might get a decent airfare.
We are flying JetBlue Providence to Orlando this time because I got fares of $99 each way. I always watch and book about 5 weeks out. The flight times were great too.
JetBlue tends to alter their schedules out of Newark based on seasons so I assume it's the same from Boston. Also, the first flight out for us usually changes with the clocks, it's 6A in June and 8A in November. Once the winter is over and the snow birds are done it's not uncommon to see them cut a flight or two.
