Jet blue has no change fees for flights booked in Jan.
Your can get flights for $32 each way

There are no change fees, but you still have to pay the fare difference if the new itinerary costs more than the original one. So booking for $32 is only helpful for someone planning to actually travel in January. Otherwise, switching the reservation to April will still require paying the additional cost of the more expensive ticket.

No. Read this and see if it works for you.

Oh wow, I stand corrected - that's amazing! I remember when Southwest did that in the past, but it never occurred to me that Jetblue would do the same.

OP, this is an amazing opportunity for you to get your Pesach flights for a fraction of the going rate. Grab it ASAP since it likely won't last long!

I went once through Tampa, about an hour and 20 min drive to Orlando. It was a fraction of the price than had we gone straight to Orlando. Tampa airport is also quieter, less busy, we were done with baggage claim in no time. I heard Orlando and Miami airports are hectic and busy.

Another Res a train I think somewhere in Virginia that you can drive your car onto the train, go to a sleeping car, has beds, sleep till train gets to Florida, then it’s an hour from Orlando. If your thinking of driving I’d do that so at least half the way you can sleep. And it’s kind of exciting for the kids to do that…just don’t know which train does it
