JB just announced the are starting service from jfk to bon in November. All our route requests may have paid off. $159 one way introductory fares. So long ewr United and $1k fares

$159 is free.

What's the catch?

 

[tkaelin]

The usual.

Wow! Great news!

So for comparison 11/2 to 11/9 sat sat, $375 jet blue and $1,052 United. JB fare introductory and most restrictive quoted. JB likely to go but hopefully United will also come down.

So as a follow up on JetBlue entering the Bonaire market we jumped on the new low rates and took a trip in January. Rates still low in January and we booked a trip for May.

Not surprisingly United cut their fares.

We stopped diving Bonaire and started diving Curacao when JetBlue entered the Curacao market. Today JetBlue’s fares to Curacao are about 50% higher to Curacao than Bonaire.
