glad to know mi not loosing it yet.......ha haOriginally Posted by marley9808
that is pretty wild how they can change nonstop flights like that.........
can't imagine how many people they upset when they do something like that......
there must have been some major JetBlue executives that had to okay that move........
probably because they saw bookings were way down with a 7:30AM flight like that......

Rastagirl777 - I think you got me beat! HAIL TO THE QUEEN!! Call me Princess...I have paid but never the prices I see other folks shelling out. Partially due to air miles, partially due to being creative with booking flights. Last time I went to JA, my round trip cab fares to the airport exceeded the cost of my RT airfare.
p.s. Maybe you could share a few tips?

"Maybe you could share a few tips?"
Tip #1: Fly for a living. Aside from my time in JA, I'm on an airplane at least once a month for work.
Tip #2: GET the credit card - charge everything on it and pay it all off every month. Again, this works for my business really well. The 1 mile pre $1 dollar of purchase = 60,000 miles in one year sometimes.
Absolutely. My summer ticket last year... FF miles. This summer, too. The only difference is this year will be 1st class. Put all my house updates in 2010 on my card. That helped w/ my summer 2011 ticket. I always sign up for the 1.5 miles for every $1 spent promotions. Late last year I was doing some serious spending so that's covering my 1st class fare this summer w/ close to 30K miles left over. I literally charge everything I can to my AA CC... condo fees, car & homeowner insurance, cell phone, house phone, cable, internet, (bundled), all day to day pruchases. About the only time I use cash is in JA & when I buy frozen yogurt .
Well - I can't fly for this job but I got the second one down pat - been doing that for years. Almost all my bills go through the card & earn me miles. Every car repair, every electric bill, every trip to the gas pump... MILES MILES MILES
So most times, my airfare isn't bad at all. But it will get to be more of a challenge with the restrictions getting tighter on how you can put those miles to work... but I am not complaining. I am a fortunate one. Some folks can't get down here once a year, much less 3 or 4 times...
You don't have to be rich to do this - its about making choices & being creative helps. I work with people who make less than me and spend more on their monthly car payment than I do on a round trip flight to JA. We all make choices and this is what I choose to do.....
EXACTLY Sweet Sue - since a lot of my expenses on that card are for business I don't ever go into hock - that card gets paid off in full faithfully each month. I also sign up for the bonus promotions both with the card and with AA. I do the same with my Amex card but with Delta - that's how I flew the god-kid down first class on her first trip.
No doubt the mileage needed to fly in general is going to go up on AA and no doubt the number of FF seats per flight is going to go down. In anticipation of this I am booking about a month earlier this year for my trip in November.
