JetBlue Airways has graciously decided to add some much-needed sunshine to your week with the launch of its big "Book it Before it's Hot" Sale, including deals on summer travel leaving out of NYC-area airports.
Kicking off today, May 13 and running through Thursday, May 15, JetBlue is offering a whole slew of one-way domestic and international flights for under $100, departing out of local airports like John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).

Among the deals from LaGuardia, you can go to warm Floridian locales like Tampa and West Palm Beach for $79 one way, or Fort Lauderdale for only five bucks more. Or if it's more a New England beach weekend you're after, a flight to Nantucket is set at $99. And despite the recent messiness over at Newark, that New Jersey airport is also home to several great deals, including flights to Cancún, Mexico for $124 and to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic for $159.
The travel window spans Tuesday, May 27 through Saturday, October 4, with blackout dates set for over the Independence Day holiday (July 3 through 7); the sale also excludes Monday, Friday and Sunday travel. (You can check out all of the flight terms and restrictions here.) J

Redhill to Tonbridge railway line close for embankment repairs
A railway line connecting Kent and Surrey will be closed for over a week in August to stabilise an embankment which previously collapsed in a between Redhill and Tonbridge will not run from 16-25 August to carry out repair works to the Bough Beech embankment which collapsed on 29 March 2024, Network Rail say.A Network Rail spokesperson said the work would address "ongoing concerns" with the embankment following the collapse and previous landslides in the replacement buses will operate on the Southern-operated line during the closure, it added. A road closure in Caterfield Lane in Edenbridge began in May and will continue until 1 August to allow engineers to install a working platform for works, Network Rail April 2024, the line remained closed for more than two weeks for works will see more sheets of steel installed at the embankment, as well more than 200 "soil nails" which are about 6m long and will be drilled into the lying vegetation and some trees will also be removed from the site during works, Network Rail railway operator said: "When landslips happen, unfortunately so do delays. A train can't swerve to avoid debris on the line in the same way a car can avoid a small obstruction on the road."The safety of our passengers, public and colleagues is always our priority and where there are ongoing concerns with an embankment, we will add stronger materials to the slope such as steel rods or soil nails. Work to stabilise the earth can take time."

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.

This will be the cheapest summer to fly out of Newark, says United CEO
If you've ever paid through the nose to fly out of Newark, 2025 might finally be your year. After a turbulent spring filled with flight delays, air traffic control outages and an ongoing major runway closure, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby says the summer ahead will be the cheapest to fly from Newark Liberty in the airline's history. 'Because we lost a lot of bookings, there's a lot more seats available,' Kirby said at the Wall Street Journal's Future of Everything event on Thursday. 'It's going to be the cheapest it's probably ever going to be in history. I don't really like that, but you ought to book.' United Airlines, which has a major hub at Newark, was hit particularly hard by FAA staffing shortages and ongoing runway construction that snarled operations throughout May. While Kirby insists the airport remains safe, the impact on bookings has translated into thinner crowds and fire-sale fares—a rare combo for a summer getaway. Relief may be coming, though: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Wednesday that a new fiber-optic cable between Philadelphia and New York will stabilize air traffic control operations by July, reports CNN. In the meantime, United is leaning into the turbulence with an unexpected silver lining: the launch of Blue Sky, a sweeping partnership with JetBlue that gives travelers access to both airlines' flights, loyalty perks, and even some cross-platform booking tools. MileagePlus points can be used for a beachy JetBlue hop to Barbados, or TrueBlue points cashed in for a United trek to Tahiti. United also just scored a long-term win at JFK Airport, securing up to seven daily round-trip flight slots from JetBlue starting in 2027, a big get for an airline eager to reestablish a presence at the airport. And in a tech twist, JetBlue will soon power United's entire vacation package platform via its in-house travel service, Paisly. While Kirby admitted that short-term cutbacks—including the FAA's decision to slash daily Newark flights by 25-percent—are 'painful,' he says they're necessary to align traffic with reality. 'It's long term better,' he said. 'The FAA is going to do what they do at JFK and LaGuardia.'
