Don't Kill Me But....
I'm sorry in advance for such a mundane question that would be best answered via a FT search, but I am new to Blue and wonder when you recommend I start searching for tix in November. Thanks in advance in addition to apologies.

Once the tickets open up for sale for November I would buy them. If the fare lowers you can always call JetBlue and ask for a credit in the amount due back to you (they wont issue a refund rather a credit to fly them again). Its a no-lose situation. I have about $215 in Jetblue credit left to use.

Last year, around July and August, the carriers started a fare sale for the slower months (sept-nov, except Thanksgiving/holidays). Also, if you wait, there might be some deals. Last year on Song, they had something like book a flight in July, fly in the slow season and get 5000 bonus miles and another promo, book in Aug fly in September a couple times and get a free ipod or something like that. Not sure if any airline will give away more stuff for $100 tickets again, but personally, I'd wait. The fares aren't going to skyrocket (at least not foreseeably) unless you're flying Thanksgiving.

Are you on Song's payroll? I have never seen someone go out of their way to mention an airline so out of context with a general conversation. Its really annoying.

Let me clarify what I was looking for as this is getting beyond the scope of what I intended. I simply wanted to know when JB will be releasing November tix. That's pretty much it. Shopping for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, looks like all nonstops from FLL to BOS will be a fortune. Purchased a one stopper on Delta for 200 bucks RT. Moot point for me at this point. Thanks for the feedback to all.

Thanksgiving is usually expensive; $200 is a great deal no matter what airline, although you'll have to stop...(well, some FTers like stops)
