What happened to Jetblue fares?
I was shopping for airfares for my Dad to visit. Newark to Orlando route usually through Jetblue. My father is a nervous flyer without much patience so I usually book the earliest flight of the day on a Saturday to hopefully avoid traffic and delays. Was I in for a shock when I priced Jetblue's Flight number 517 which depars EWR at 8am. Why is the earliest flight of the day so expensive? $396 one way! Is this the most popular time to fly now. Seems like an admission from the airline that flying out of Newark airport is just a delay waiting to happen. Guess I am in for some price research.
