BOS-DEN $69 OW, turns from $177 on ITA, but can't book on B6.
Looking for travel BOS-DEN in Jan, found several days with $177 RTs on ITA doing a monthly search, 2-5 days. They include a $68 outbound and a $110 return; the $68 BOS-DEN shows up on ITA as a OW. However, I can not find this on any travel site, and the fare rules say:
FWIW, fares said they have to be purchased by the 25th and there's lots of availability. UA and B6 both have fares in the $220 range so that's not too bad, anyway, but $177 would be sweet (to get some snow; it may never snow here in BOS).
Category 15: Sales restrictions
SALE IS RESTRICTED TO SPECIFIC AGENTS.
FARES MAY ONLY BE SOLD BY TRAVEL AGENTS.
TICKETS MAY ONLY BE SOLD IN AREA 1/AREA 2/AREA 3.
Not sure if anyone has run in to this before, or if B6 is hiding these fares somewhere, or if I should call a TA to try to get them (to travel agents even exist anymore)? Or if it's a mistake fare, but it's not *that* low.SALE IS RESTRICTED TO SPECIFIC AGENTS.

I just went to the JetBlue website and see those fares all over the place. http://www.jetblue.com/bestfarefinder/#/
Plenty of options for such.
I was searching as one-way trips since all JetBlue travel is priced that way but it should be relatively easy to purchase these fares directly from the company. And, FWIW, I see the fares on Orbitz, too. What OTA were you trying and not seeing them??

Orbitz also shows the higher fares, and I think I also looked at Kayak and Travelocity last night. If I could find them on an OTA it would be a good way to get the $100 fare guarantee.

The least expensive one way fare on B6 between BOS and DEN in January is $108.10 - fare basis PL4ADON5 - with a 14 day advance purchase - valid on Tues, Wed, and Sat. I found numerous flights with this fare. Round trip is double. This is a published fare available on Sabre.
