As we move through September, thoughts of the next couple months spring to mind: foliage season melts into delicious Thanksgiving food, which leads to gifts in December and champagne on the New Year. 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.
It looks like the tourism tide has shifted in the Gulf of Mexico, and it might be the smart traveler who takes advantage of the deals. After the world’s worst oil spill and the largest environmental cleanup efforts in U.S. history, Gulf states are doing their best to re-claim their image of sunny vacation lands. And these states are getting a big boost from BP.
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).
Florida Tourism is being hit hard by the April 24th oil spill when less than 10% of the beaches are actually affected in the northwest region. Currently, during high tourism season, bookings are down by almost 50% in parts of the Panhandle State. Economists fear that if tourism does not lift, 195,000 jobs and billions of dollars could be lost.
