I'm sure you're young. Us older folk aren't so keen to fly 6 hours for a couple hours in Florida.

And has NOBODY signed up for the ridiculous night in the Bay Area? C'mon -- it would be fun!

Or maybe not.

What ever made you think that JetBlue has any semblance of customer service? They have live TV, good legroom and a free checked bag. That's it.

Serves me right for walking home mid-afternoon instead of hovering over my computer trying to book.

There is an "interim" booking engine online now. I was just able to book (day trip to BTV on Wednesday) and I have my confirmation.

Is this some kind of testing site they used during the Sabre migration?

Day trip to Buf

I was able to book my trip to Buffalo. I suspect the marketing/pricing folks did not speak to the technical folks before scheduling this promotion . Its a really good deal for those going to FLA . I hope B6 learns this lesson when they schedule the 15$ for 15 year promotion in 5 years.

I thought the special fares expired at 2pm ET?

Apparently they extended it due to their infrastructure failure. When the system is down for more than half the booking window that only makes sense.

The last couple years I had been really impressed with the customer service from JetBlue. However, this year I have noticed a severe decline. Is it just their reservation system migration or have they made drastic cuts in their customer service department to save money?

Customer service

If you are unhappy with it you should email Jetblue a complaint letter. If they are cutting back then the only way they know its too much is if people complain. I also hope they have more TSA people on duty Tuesday / Wednesday as a result of the 10$ fares.

Definitely seems to be worse than usual the past few weeks. I haven't heard about any cuts to Customer service positions and I highly doubt any were made. My guess is that Airport Ops positions were reduced for the past few months to accommodate Sabre training. Since the new system rolled out, there have been plenty of technical glitches. JB can't be very happy with Sabre at the moment.
