JetBlue Is Solving Los Angeles’ Freeway Problems With $US4 Flights

If you’re in the US this Saturday, July 16, take note – the eternally traffic jammed 405 Freeway in Los Angeles will be shut down. It’s CARMAGEDDON! No worries though, JetBlue will fly you around the Los Angeles area for only 4 US bucks that day.

It’s a silly PR stunt and I doubt anyone would seriously do it (what are you going to do once you get to the airport?) but JetBlue is offering two flights from Burbank to Long Beach and two flights from Long Beach to Burbank for 4 bucks a pop. If I still lived in LA, I’d probably do this for the giggles. [JetBlue]

    …yes, this article is REALLY handy for any Australian Gizmodo readers who may be in LA in July.

    C’mon Danny, better filtering of articles please!

      Actually, I think it’s an pretty cool/weird morsel of information in relation to a massive public works project which is probably interesting to the type of person who reads Giz.
      That it’s in another country is irrelevant.

      Keep up the good work, Danny.

        To each their own. I personally take the view that US, and various other countries’ versions of Gizmodo are probably the best place to view articles that are only relevant to their own geographical location. After all, how many articles from Aussie Gizmodo end up on US Gizmodo? (Hint: not many).

        It’s not like the other varients of Gizmodo are blocked to IPs that are outside their own country.

    I for one would prefer to hear more about quirky Romanian domestic airline stories.
