FLORIDA, October 8, 2024 (Bee News Daily) — Airlines have been increasing prices for flights out of Florida due to allegedly high demand, fuel costs, and operational challenges
With Hurricane Milton approaching, there’s a surge in demand for flights as people try to evacuate.
The rising cost of jet fuel has also contributed to higher ticket prices.
Airlines are facing challenges such as pilot shortages and higher labor costs, which are driving up prices.
Several airlines have increased their flights and raised ticket prices out of Florida due to the high demand caused by Hurricane Milton. These airlines include:
- Delta Air Lines
- American Airlines
- United Airlines
- Southwest Airlines
- JetBlue Airways
Some airlines have been criticized for what appears to be price gouging, with reports of ticket prices skyrocketing from around $500 to over $3,000. However, many airlines are also capping prices to prevent excessive costs for evacuees.
