When will JetBlue release fall of 2021?

[Cheburashka]

Anyone know their release pattern? I've already booked the departure flight of our Thanksgiving trip via American, but their return flight prices are insane, so we'll fly JetBlue home, instead. I just need to find out when they'll likely release their fall flights, as right now they're only booking through early September. TIA!

Based on previous years it could be either March or April.

seems like a lot of other airlines have released for that time frame, I'm in the same boat as you, waiting for Jetblue to release fall of 2021

Yes, JetBlue & Southwest wait a lot longer than the legacy airlines (American, Delta, United) to release itineraries.

True, but JetBlue also generally has fewer schedule changes and flight cancellations (aside from weather related and last minute issues) after they have been announced.

True. I wasn't criticizing, just stating the fact to someone who seemed like they might not be aware of the discount carriers' later release pattern.

JB is making it harder and harder to love them.
I was reading on their site yesterday re:blue basic's rules. Gate checking your carry on will be $65 unless you've already checked two bags, then it will be $180 for that one bag. Yikes.

I'm not happy with all JB's fees. Wish I didn't have so many points to spend with them, or that I could use the points to offset the fees. That could work too.

Blue Basic fares booked on or after 2/25/21 for travel 7/20/21 or later do not allow a carry-on bag that can be placed in the overhead bin.
The only exceptions are:

• Mosaic members (who get a carry-on bag and early boarding with all fares)
• Travelers that are combining a Blue Basic fare with an Even More® Space seat
• Active military
• Unaccompanied minors

Please note, of the above exceptions, only Blue Basic Customers who purchase an Even More® Space seat are guaranteed to get their carry-on bag onboard.

Those who have added a pet to a Blue Basic booking will be able to board with both a personal item and their approved pet carrier.

Otherwise, if you have booked a Blue Basic fare, any carry-on bag brought to the gate (aside from a personal item that fits under the seat in front of you) will incur a fee and need to be checked. The fee is $65 (if it would be your 1st or 2nd checked bag) or $180 (if it’s your 3rd)
