As a matter of fact I tried to save a little money and asked the res agent to find me a cheaper flight on the same dates I wanted to travel to any Jetblue city with a beach and the lowest fare was still over $700.00. (Even to FLL!)
Low cost carrier? Maybe not!
I just looked at the fares on jetbluec.com, RIC to NAS, I only found a couple of dates that would be $714, otherwise the range seemed to be much, much less. I guess those few days must be very popular.
