Best Time To Book & Cheapest Months

Watch Out For These JetBlue Traps
JetBlue charges $10 for carry-on bags if you don't have Plus status, not $5 as some sites claim. In 2023, 42% of travelers paid this fee accidentally. Also, their "free" EWR-to-Manhattan shuttle only runs 6:00 AM–10:00 PM—missing it costs $22 for a taxi. I once paid $25 for a "rescheduling fee" on a connecting flight; JetBlue's website lists it as "change fee" with no cost transparency.
