Did you guys see that Jet Blue is having a sale today and tomorrow?
Me too, which was pretty distressing given that I booked a ticket on Sunday for an interview next month. The fare is $45 lower today than it was on Sunday. I was on the phone with my mom when I realized this. Our conversation went something like this:
Mom: “Didn’t you check the Bing Travel Predictor before you booked your flight?”
Me: “No. I was worried the flight would sell out, so I wanted to book it ASAP.”
Mom: “Oh, so the student becomes the teacher!”
This is coming from the lady who doesn’t know how to copy + paste a URL from a browser.
My mom suggested I call JetBlue and ask for a price adjustment. And you know what? They did it without any hesitation whatsoever! So now I have $45 credit to use on a future flight. Go Jet Blue! According to Airfare Watchdog, Alaska Airlines and Southwest will also give price adjustments.
Now that my flight is set, I need to book a hotel. I was thinking about using Airbnb to book a cheap guest room, but a little research on BetterBidding.com tells me I can do just as well (with a bit more privacy) bidding on Priceline.
A happy cheap start to the new year!
P.S. Note: All JetBlue fares don’t show up on Kayak, so be sure to double check on the site first.

I can honestly tell you that your mom was actually, even though the lack of knowledge in computers, helped you save some money.
Reminds me a bit of my mom, she dont know how to turn on the computer,but she keep telling me to do stuff for her on the computer that are really just impossible.
