Honestly, finding the cheapest day to book on JetBlue has been a bit of trial and error for me — but after a few years of flying back and forth between New York and Florida, I think I’ve cracked the pattern.
A few months ago, I was planning a last-minute trip to visit my sister in Miami. I had my heart set on flying JetBlue because their legroom and snacks make a huge difference for me (especially compared to some other airlines). I started checking flights on a Saturday night and noticed prices were still a bit high. A friend who travels a lot told me, “Try looking on Tuesday — that’s when airlines usually release new deals.”
Sure enough, when I checked early Tuesday morning, the same flight that was $187 on Saturday had dropped to $132. I couldn’t believe it. I booked it immediately and saved enough to cover my Uber to the airport. Since then, I’ve made it a habit to search for JetBlue flights between Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, which consistently show lower fares than weekends or Fridays.
Here’s what I usually do step-by-step:
-
Set alerts on JetBlue’s website or app for your preferred route.
-
Check prices on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings (between 6–10 AM seems to show the best drops).
-
Avoid booking on weekends, since that’s when demand spikes and prices rise.
-
Be flexible with your travel dates — even shifting by one day can make a big difference.
-
Call JetBlue directly at 844-734-0813 if you see a fare drop after booking — they can often help you rebook or adjust your reservation without losing money.
I actually used that number once when I noticed a lower fare after I’d already booked my flight. The rep was super friendly and helped me cancel and rebook the same route within minutes. It was way faster than trying to navigate it all online.
So yes — from my experience, Tuesdays and Wednesdays tend to be the cheapest days to book JetBlue flights. But the real trick is to stay alert, check prices frequently, and don’t hesitate to call 844-734-0813 when you spot a deal or need help changing your booking.
It’s saved me a lot of money (and stress) over the years, and I’d say it’s one of the best “insider tips” for frequent JetBlue flyers.
