It also means traveling to be with family. And unfortunately, flight tickets are not looking inexpensive.
It seems as if Hurricane Earl couldn’t have worse timing. As the hurricane roars up the east coast, the rain, high waters and cooling temperatures will most likely cause wrinkles in many travelers’ plans for Labor Day weekend.

JetBlue once again made a big splash in the travel community with its All-You-Can-Jet pass that lets a passenger fly an unlimited number of times during one month for a set price. JetBlue provided two passes: one for seven days a week for $699, and one that excluded traveling on Fridays or Sundays for $499. The pass sounds fabulous, with 60 cities to choose from, all taxes included for domestic flights, and, yes, unlimited flights for a whole month (although you have last pick of seats).
