JetBlue has capped all direct flights out of Florida at $99 for people to get as far from Irma as possible. Get your tickets before they sell out because the next lowest is like $300 (fuck making money off of people trying to live) from other airlines. Get the word out. Send it to your friends and family in florida.

Former Floridian here (been gone fo' 5 years). Most won't leave. There will be crazy mother fuckers surfing before she hits. I've done it.

Air Canada was charging thousands more than usual to fly 300 miles out of a forest fire in Fort Mac, almost 2 years ago.

Because first come first serve is the bastion of fair distribution systems.

Price gouging is way more than $300. $99 for all doesn’t cover all costs, it’s halo marketing. But I wish them well for doing it!

All we used to hear about up here (Long Island) is people leaving for Florida. Jokingly referred to as "Southern NY" by some. Now it's NC.

Friends and I were planning a FL trip for months at the end of Sept. Looks like the beach will be all ours. Hope the beach house is 1/2 off.
ToxicPineapple
It might literally be half off.

See, that's what I'm thinking They gotta discount that! And we can just like hang a sheet and make it good as new.

As someone who is trying to get out, nothing is currently available unless you want to spend your whole paycheck on refuge (and then some)

As much as I can love a corporation, I love JetBlue.

JetBlue is the best

Shot out to JetBlue if this is correct. People or cooperations should be fined to hell and back for price gouging at times like this
IrisWolfe
Florida has price gouging laws, but because flights are through the Department of Transportation it's legal for airlines -_-
HarleyDavidson1122
Still dirty as hell
OneFuckedPony
Are other airlines price gouging????? Lordy fuck I hope not...but assume they are.
SidneyHarbor
By default, airlines try not to run completely out of seats. Software automatically raises prices. So JB updated their price software.
OneFuckedPony
That's a cool thing to do. I appreciate the clarification.
0utrider
Supply and demand. Limited supply + high demand = higher prices.
OneFuckedPony
I understand they aren't running a friendship, but this isn't supply and demand like pogs or strawberries, it's offering a service to ...1/2
OneFuckedPony
People surrounded by catastrophe. It's short sighted, unethical, and unpatriotic. Probably the first time I've called someone that.
Codiferous
I was looking at flights for the fam (me, wife and lap baby)...1700 for some companies

How much for flights into Florida?
GoogleFucker
The pilots let you fly, as part of their 'fly and die' program. It's not too popular, but it made worldwide headlines in 2001.

Plus I work for a company that sells hurricane protection so got to get back and get the people some stuff!

Are you though? Not because of this, just in general?

I don't know about that person, but I sure can be.

Why are you flying in? ...if you don't mind me asking

Great time to buy real estate
GloomyMP
The real estate market is so volatile and up in the air. If you're not careful your investment could end up underwater.

I'm flying back cause I was on vacation for Labor Day. I live in South Florida, and need to go and prepare for the hurricane.
