JetBlue Airlines Offers Free Flights
As names of the victims; injured and deceased, start to be released, JetBlue Airlines is offering assistance the best way they can, free flights. The airline is graciously donating free flights to and from Orlando for the immediate family members, spouses and domestic partners of the victims of Sunday’s terrorist attack at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. The carrier, who has strong ties with Orlando and trains all of its employees there, confirmed their offer today.
“JetBlue is providing free seats on its available flights to/from Orlando for immediate family and domestic partners of victims who were killed or injured,” an airline spokesperson explained.
At least fifty people have been confirmed dead and many more are hospitalized or injured after the attack on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. Saturday was ‘Latin Night’ at Pulse, and many of the victims’ families live in Puerto Rico, which is another popular JetBlue destination. For more information on the free flights to and from Orlando, JetBlue says parties should call 1-800-JETBLUE.
- The airline is also issuing fee waivers for customers who have tickets for traveling to and from Orlando and need to make last-minute changes to their travel plans.
