Late Jan-early Feb SEA to JFK -- lots of empty seats
I'm looking at flying from SEA to JFK on JetBlue (have to use some soon-to-expire JetBlue funds) from 01/30 - 02/03/09.
When I go through the reservation process and get to the seat selection pages, I find that only 20 seats are taken on the outbound flight, and only 15 seats are taken on the return flight. The plane has seats for 150 passengers.
This flight has typically been 90-100 percent full when we've taken JetBlue around this same time of year in past years. Now, I realize it's still two months out, but the current 10-14 percent occupancy rate seems mighty low. I'm holding off on making the reservations, hoping a fare deal becomes available if it looks like they're having trouble filling seats.
Anyway, that's my tidbit of information to add to the discussion...
