Roundtrip Tix from JFK to Fort Lauderdale on JetBlue...
costs a whopping $1050.00 for two tickets!!! My dh and I are going on a cruise in April, so we decided to book the flight early. They said the rates will continue to skyrocket! That's NUTS!

Re: Roundtrip Tix from JFK to Fort Lauderdale on JetBlue...
I know you guys are in LI, BUT... if you're willing to fly out of Newark, I know Continental had some CHEAP flights to Florida.
I'm flying to visit my mother for a weekend in 3 weeks, and paid $158 RT

Re: Roundtrip Tix from JFK to Fort Lauderdale on JetBlue...
That's insane -- there must be less expensive options to Ft. Lauderdale. Did you check flying into Miami or West Palm? They are not that far and may give you better prices. When are you travelling? Are you willing to fly on other airlines?
I was tracking Vegas flights and while I still paid too much, they actually came down about 20% from mid-july to mid-august when I bought the ticket.

Re: Roundtrip Tix from JFK to Fort Lauderdale on JetBlue...
That is ridiculous we are paying $522 TOTAL roundtrip for both of us to fly to San Juan and and we are flying on thankgiving day.
Unfortunately I found that FLL can be more expensive esp. winter/spring break time b/c there are so many cruise ships sailing at the same time. Have you tried some of the other airlines? We flew song (now delta) last time b/c they were 1/2 what Jet blue wanted. I would try all the lines directly on each website. Also I find that some days during the week the price is less than other days (although not by much).
I am sorry 1000 does seem steep. I hate to say this b/c I think they are a painto use but can you contact whoever you booked your cruise with and see what air through the cruiseline would cost? - Sometimes when air prices are ridiculous the airline prices can sometimes be cheaper.

go to kayak.com and put in your info.
This site does the research for you. You'll find the cheapest flight for you needs, yet you book directly with the "home" site, not kayak.com
I have used this site MANY times. It saves the hassle of doing the research ! ! !
Good Luck

Also check sidestep.com
I use that all the time at work for fare comparison.
I would also suggest the alternate airports of PBI or MIA as fares may be lower. Also check with the cruise line for their are rates.

Re: Roundtrip Tix from JFK to Fort Lauderdale on JetBlue...
The only "good thing" about JetBlue is that if the prices come down, they will refund the money. The only thing is that I have to keep checking the prices to see if they changed. They don't do the work for you.

Re: Roundtrip Tix from JFK to Fort Lauderdale on JetBlue...
Are you sure? Is it easter/passover week? That could be why.
We just went to Ft Lauderdale and it was $477 Rt for both of us. In the past it's been $330!!!

Re: Roundtrip Tix from JFK to Fort Lauderdale on JetBlue...
OMG, that's ridiculous. I'm flying out of Macarthur to West Palm Beach and only paying $240 for DH and I on labor day weekend. I forgot where I read, but Jetblue is trying to avoid filing bankruptcy by hiking up prices. The article mentioned they are now most expensive airline, even more than American.

For my trips, I've almost alwyas found JetBlue to be the cheapest. When it wasn't, I flew Song. I do LOVE JetBlue's customer service. They are awesome.
I think ANY flight on any airline, particularly to Fl are going to be hugh during easter/passover week because that's when people with kids and teachers take their vacations.
Last year FMIL paid something like $330 for a one way from FLL to JFK during that week. Supply and demand

Re: Roundtrip Tix from JFK to Fort Lauderdale on JetBlue...
try southwest out of Islip. I paid $140 round trip for each ticket. The prices will def. drop. Are you going around Easter/Spring Break? maybe that is why the prices are so high.

Try Delta.com. I went to FLL in August and that's where I found the cheapest tickets ($209).

Re: Roundtrip Tix from JFK to Fort Lauderdale on JetBlue...
Are you trying to fly in the day of the cruise? I find with Ft Lauderdale the prices are often very high the day of the cruise since everyone in creation is trying to fly in that day. Try see what the price is to fly in the day or night before the cruise - you might save money there - I forgot we often did better to do that and stay at a hotel and it worked out better.
