JetBlue is offering $49 fares leaving from these South Florida airports
It might not officially be summer yet, but we've already got vacation on the brain—and, thankfully, the folks over at JetBlue Airways are on the same wavelength because the airline is hosting its big "Book it Before it's Hot" Sale this week, including deals on summer travel leaving out of South Florida-based airports.
Kicking off today, May 13 and running through Thursday, May 15 (just make sure to book by 11:59pm Eastern Time to take advantage of the flight deals), JetBlue is offering a whole slew of one-way domestic flights for under $100, departing out of area airports like Miami International Airport (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL).
Miami-based jetsetters can fly one-way to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport for only $49 as part of the airline sale, or to Boston's Logan International Airport for $84 one way.
Among the deals from Fort Lauderdale (FLL), you can go to Charleston, South Carolina or Richmond, Virginia for only $49; an extra tenner will jet you up to Philadelphia, PA. For $69, you can check out the nation's capital, Washington, D.C., or, for only five bucks more, you can take in some New England quaintness in Providence, Rhode Island. You can get to energetic cities like New York and Las Vegas for just under a Benjamin, but if you're looking for something more relaxing and slightly more exotic, you can zoom down to Nassau, The Bahamas for $79 or Puerto Rican hot spots like San José and Aguadilla for less than 99 bucks.
Other Florida-based departure airports included in the sale are Fort Myers (RSW), Jacksonville (JAX), Orlando (MCO), Sarasota/Bradenton (SRQ), Tampa (TPA) and West Palm Beach (PBI).

A colossal cloud of Sahara dust is smothering the Caribbean en route to the US
A massive cloud of dust from the Sahara Desert blanketed most of the Caribbean on Monday in the biggest event of its kind this year as it heads toward the United States. The cloud extended some 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) from Jamaica to well past Barbados in the eastern Caribbean, and some 750 miles (1,200 kilometers) from the Turks and Caicos Islands in the northern Caribbean down south to Trinidad and Tobago. 'It's very impressive,' said Alex DaSilva, lead hurricane expert with AccuWeather. The hazy skies unleashed sneezes, coughs and watery eyes across the Caribbean, with local forecasters warning that those with allergies, asthma and other conditions should remain indoors or wear face masks if outdoors. The dust concentration was high, at .55 aerosol optical depth, the highest amount so far this year, said Yidiana Zayas, a forecaster with the National Weather Service in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The aerosol optical depth measures how much direct sunlight is prevented from reaching the ground by particles, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The plume is expected to hit Florida, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi late this week and into the weekend, DaSilva said. However, plumes usually lose most of their concentration in the eastern Caribbean, he noted. 'Those islands tend to see more of an impact, more of a concentration where it can actually block out the sun a little bit at times,' he said. The dry and dusty air known as the Saharan Air Layer forms over the Sahara Desert in Africa and moves west across the Atlantic Ocean starting around April until about October, according to NOAA. It also prevents tropical waves from forming during the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs June 1 to Nov. 30. June and July usually have the highest dust concentration on average, with plumes traveling anywhere from 5,000 feet to 20,000 feet above the ground, DaSilva said. In June 2020, a record-breaking cloud of Sahara dust smothered the Caribbean. The size and concentration of the plume hadn't been seen in half a century, prompting forecasters to nickname it the 'Godzilla dust cloud.'

These are the five most popular summer getaways from Boston, per Logan Airport
With beautiful coastal beaches, a top-rate food scene, plenty of historical curiosities and a constant rotation of cool cultural happenings, you don't really ever have to leave Greater Boston to enjoy a little escape from the rise-and-grind. However, if it's a real getaway you're after, having a major travel hub like Logan International Airport nearby is certainly convenient (and even better with fancy upgrades like the recently unveiled Delta One Lounge in Terminal E). And according to a Logan spokesperson, there are five destinations that Bostonians are booking more often than not. According to a recent report by The Patriot Ledger, Logal Airport reps have revealed the five most popular summer destinations flying out of the Boston airport, as judged by the busiest routes that Commonwealth flyers booked in summer 2024. And the locales are an interesting mix of sunny warm-weather destinations down South (not a shock, given that Bostonian weather is temperamental on a good day) and fellow big cities with their own food-world street cred and historical bonafides. Per Logan Airport, the five busiest routes for summer travel out of Boston (in no particular order) are: San Francisco, California Orlando, Florida Atlanta, Georgia Washington, D.C. Chicago, Illinois Yes, they're a metropolitan bunch, but we can certainly see why each destination would appeal to Bostonians. Local history heads would happily nerd out over the museums and monuments of our nation's capital, and Boston-based foodies can feast their way through both the high-brow and low-key deliciousness of the Chicagoland restaurant scene. San Francisco provides a similar dose of coastal cool, albeit with some much-welcome Californian ease, while both Atlanta and Orlando offer a warm-weather reprieve from the Massachusetts chill as well as big-ticket attractions, from the largest aquarium in the United States (the Georgia Aquarium) to the most magical place on Earth (Florida's Walt Disney World Resort).

Another disaster at Newark Airport as TODDLER gets lost on luggage conveyor belt
Embattled Newark Airport is raising eyebrows for yet another disaster, this time involving a child. A two-year-old managed to ride on top of Newark Liberty International Airport's baggage conveyer belt last week after slipping behind a ticketing counter without his parents noticing. The tot then climbed onto the ankle-high conveyer belt where passengers leave their luggage before boarding their flights. The incident occurred inside Terminal A on Wednesday, May 28, as the child's mother was attempting to re-book a flight on Jet-Blue Airlines. The toddler rode the conveyor belt down to the checked baggage room on the lower level of the airport. Port Authority officers responded to the incident and located the child. Port Authority Police PBA President Frank Conti told Pix11 that the responding officers jumped on the conveyor belt to track down the toddler. 'The two cops were able to move fast into the system,' he told the outlet. Which was vital.' 'There was a split in the belts,' he explained. 'One officer went toward one direction, one toward the other direction.' 'One of them was able to observe the child as the child was approaching one of the x-ray units.' The child was unharmed when he was found. Medics were dispatched to check the child as a precaution. The incident comes as Newark Airport has been plagued by delays and cancellations for months. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy held a news conference at the airport on Monday to announce the reopening of a major runway nearly two weeks ahead of schedule. The ongoing delays have been caused by air traffic control outages, runway construction, and the fact that over 20 percent of FAA controllers at Newark walked off the job, among other factors. Just last month, health officials also sounded the alarm over a potential measles outbreak at Newark Airport. An infected individual traveled through the airport's Terminal B - used by United, JetBlue and international airlines, potentially exposing hundreds to the world's most infectious disease. And the week prior to that, Newark airport's control tower went dark for 90 seconds, prompting workers to take trauma leave as chaos ensued at the travel hub. The case also marked at least the second time a measles infected patient has passed through Newark's gates, after another patient also visited in early April.
