maybe there's a more clever way of doing it, but a simple solution can be trying to book (price check) 6, 7 or 8 seats for that flight and see what the system tells you.
JetBlue doesn't oversell so if you get a rate for your party of 8, chances are there's at least 8 seats available, I dunno thats what I did.

PS. you could actually go further than that, you could choose seats just before submitting payment so you can clearly see all the seats available... once thats done, do not proceed with the booking.
