Does anyone have a good website to keep an eye on this? I can't seem to find one!
For those of you who dont know what a crack spread is, it's basically the difference between a barrel of unrefined oil and a barrel of JetA.

OK. Thanks for clearing that up. I thought a Jet Fuel Crack Spread was what we do every time we pay the fuel bill.

The ATA website provides a good table, however its only annual data - there may be other tables on their website with more current crack spread estimates.

Finding free, publicly available daily settlement prices for Jet A is difficult; several publications designed for oil traders will detail the price at a specific geographic locations, known as the basis, relative to the some standardized contract, often NYMEX No. 2 heating oil. Additionally, jet A prices vary (sometimes considerably) from region to region throughout the world.
If you are looking for a "rough" proxy, one can find daily settlement prices on CME's website for the No.2 heat and crude, and this is known as the heat crack:
You can take the price/settle of No. 2 heating oil contract - basically an industrial grade dyed distillate which other physical distillate contracts like Jet, marine diesel, ULSD, LSD, etc., are priced against. Multiply the settlement price - given in $/gal -- by 42 (#of gallons in a barrel) and then subtract FROM this number the price/settle of NYMEX WTI.
Additionally, IATA posts a weekly Jet A price that is a global average; you could derive the Jet A crack from this number as well, provided you calculate the corresponding weekly average for WTI:
