There are posts going around showing airlines charging several thousands of dollars for one-way tickets out of Florida and I just want to clear some things up. This was spread around yesterday and is NOT the price the airlines are charging. The image that was spread from Delta was from a third party website and the person who originally posted this image has come out and said everything has been cleared up. I even heard this story on the radio coming home from school so just to clarify:

• JetBlue is reducing their fares. Remaining seats will be between $99 – $159. 

• American Airlines is capping the prices at $99. This is for standard cabin fare and means that prices will not exceed this cost. 

• Delta is capping their prices at $399. This also means that prices will not exceed this cost, however this also includes first class so standard prices will be lower than $399.

Airlines like American and Delta have also added flights and brought in larger planes and waived change fees for passengers who need to cancel or rebook their flights. 

If you still need to get out or were worried about these prices then I hope this clears everything up. Note that flights will start cancelling once it becomes too dangerous for planes to fly so make sure to call ahead and keep checking for updates at your airport. 

Stay safe, everyone.
