When Do April 2020 Tickets Become Available For Sale?
We booked early this year, going back to Turks & Caicos in April 2020.
So for tickets where we fly on April 4, 2020, can someone tell me when they come up on sale? Is it at midnight on a certain day or a different hour? And how do round trips work, do I have to wait until our return leg becomes available for April 11, 2020?
Thanks.

And yes, if they extend to, say, April 8, you will have to buy your outbound then and wait for the next extension to buy your homeward trip

Are the prices at their best the moment the tickets are released or a few months/weeks thereafter? Not sure if I need to be the person up at midnight on the night the schedule opens to grab them then or if there is a better time. This will be a very popular flight but it won't sell out the first few days for sure. Thanks.

Also watch for (as I took advantage of both of these options in the past):
1. B6 will release a schedule extension early for people who book a JetBlue Vacation, especially during the prime winter vacation season or
2. B6 will release a schedule extension early to TrueBlue members only.

Typically, the absolute worst and most expensive time to pay cash for a ticket on any airline is 10-12 months in advance.
