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 provided two passes: one for seven days a week for $699, and one that excluded traveling on Fridays or Sundays for $499.
