Jetblue Upgrades
Hello Everyone,
I am flying SFO-JFK in September and simply love the new Mint concept for first class. It's truly the best looking first class cabin I've seen for domestic flights. Unfortunately it's more expensive than some of the major airlines are charging ($1200 RT vs. $960 I've seen on Delta for example for the same dates).
I plan on booking economy class and was wondering how much the upgrades usually are (in advance or last minute)? Has anyone ever gotten bumped up somehow? I only have 4,686 - how many points do I need to upgrade to Mint?

I don't know why but the price of SFO-JFK just went up to $197 from $146. I called the airline and they said that it sometimes goes up at this time of night. They said it might come down and they would adjust it if it did. It was $146 for practically all date in September just earlier today. Again not sure what could have happened and what to do at this point...

Of course, I understand that - it's just that I hate myself for missing that deal when I saw it a few days ago and didn't pounce on it. If the original deal was $197 I wouldn't even think about having missed anything. They must have increased the price to match the other airlines. Seems like Virgin went up on the same route the same day too... And Delta did as well...
