BOS-SEA says it departed at 8:15, but it doesn't appear to be in the air yet, which indicates it will probably be even later than that.
I can't seem to stop checking it even though I've learned that it's not the same airplane that I hope to be on for SEA-BOS the other direction tonight...
Yes the flight to SDQ is still going, actually it is boarding right now.
The SEA-BOS aircraft is coming in from LGB. The plane just left SLC for LGB then it turns and heads up to SEA. Right now it is showing about an hour late.

I just came back home from the airport after the SEA-BOS flight 498 was cancelled... I was in the ticketing line when the agent announced that since flight 497 from Boston hadn't made it to Seattle, they were cancelling 498. I thought about telling her that I'd been told our plane was coming from LGB, but I figured even if I was right and she was wrong they wouldn't un-cancel the flight...
We'll see if I make it out tomorrow; we're expecting another 4"-8" of snow, which is a massive storm by Seattle standards but I'm hoping not quite so bad for people who know how to operate airports in places where this happens more often.

When I called Thursday evening they told me that BOS-SAN would go out since it was 80% full. I guess I didn't believe them because I went ahead and canceled to rebook on an earlier United flight through DEN. The BOS-SEA flight must be more profitable if that is how they decide which ones to cancel. Since I canceled my ticket before the flight was canceled (I canceled Thursday evening and the flight was canceled Fri morning) I ended up with credit rather than a refund but I'm still happy I did it and got home OK!!
Try calling B6 back. Perhaps now that the flight was cancelled you could get some of the non refundable 100$ back as a credit or refund. It does not hurt to ask or use the contact jetblue thru the website. Clearly you made the smart move getting out before the storm. For the B6 critics they Southwest forum talks about a lot of people getting stranded by WN because of the Vegas snow.
Now regretting my decision to go w/ JetBlue from Boston. I recognize it's not their fault given the weather. The bigger issue is with the lack of available options to get out. Tonight's BOS-DEN flight is already canceled, making me 2 for 2. Now, of course, availability for the next few days is minimal. I was rebooked onto the last 2 available seats through JFK on Monday night. With only 3 flights a day to Denver, these cancellations are going to really create a big bottleneck, especially during a holiday week. Fortunately I booked a backup trip yesterday going out on CO first-thing tomorrow. Hopefully I can at least get out of Boston and make my way to Denver from there. Tomorrow looks like it could be real nasty, but I'm hoping my early morning departure might make it. We shall see.
I wish you good luck tomorrow . . I hope you are not routing thru Newark which is a disaster even when its sunny. Todays 6am flight from BOS to IAH on CO was delayed for 6 hours. I wonder how Amtrak is running . (You may wish to take that to Washington and then fly from there). Although if CO cancels they may be able to reroute you on UA or AA (and wait for them to get delayed or cancelled). Although todays UA flights seem to be getting in to Denver ok.
Yeah, it's going to be interesting. We're going through IAH on the early flight (saw today's result-eek!). So long as we get to Houston, we'll be much better off, as we have many more options from there and have a place to crash in the event we can't get on a connection as I have family there. Still have the JetBlue reservation in the event CO falls through (and was told I can get a refund up until the flight departs).

Easily 60-120 minutes. That's also peak departure time in general, so the delays might have occurred even in good weather. Or everything might operate smoothly. At least if there are delays T5 isn't a horrible place to hang out.

JFK-SJC cancelled this morning
My gf was supposed to fly flight 713 this morning from JFK to San Juan, PR, but it was cancelled. I don't know why; seeing as other 6:00 AM departing flight are still showing as on time?
Anyway I rebooked her on 717 leaving at 8:55 AM on the website no problem - but this is my first case of a cancelled flight on JB (lucky me, I know) and I'm wondering what would have happened had she proceded to the airport...
