JetBlue: 'Carmageddon flights' across L.A. sell out
JetBlue has a suggestion for Los Angeles-area residents looking for a way to get across town during this weekend's feared Carmageddon event. Fly, of course. JetBlue announced on Wednesday that it would add two special round-trip flights between Long Beach and Burbank on Saturday (July 16), but fliers had to act fast to snag them.

How does this work? You fly across the city to avoid driving and then have to rent a car?

Jet Blue did this to get millions of dollars worth of publicity. It worked. The traffic in LA is actually extra light because Metro did such a good job of scaring everyone. Los Angeles had a rotor wing and light twin airline to deliver passengers within 30 minutes of landing at LAX to anywhere in the LA metro area. CAB rules ment the addition fare was included in the ticket on long haul flights, and less than a cab on short hops. They could do this because of smaller passenger loads, intelligent baggage handling, and no intrusive security. When Jimmy Carter turned in his turd of a presidency, he signed the Airline Deregulation Act that signaled the start of the spin the industry is in now. This pounded the last nail in the coffin of the commuter airlines in LA. Now we are paying for bags, printing boarding passes, and soon you will need a chit to cover the toilet cleaning fee. Hopefully coach chits won't work in first class loo's.
Except they'll have express check ins no doubt.
lessee, 45 min gate to gate, an hour to get to the airport, an hour in security .... yep, a real time saver!
