This will be the first time I am spending significant time in FLorida during hurricane season. I am booked to go home on JB from SRQ - JFK for later this fall, but just wondering what, if anything, JB does when there is a hurrucane forecast to hit in one of their destinations.
For example, there is only one flight SRQ-JFK, and it if pretty much full every day. If a storm is due to hit here & people need to get out, there's no way there will be room on that one flight. Do they send extra planes & make extra flights? Wht do they do about cancellation fees for flights scheduled but then not taken due to an evacuation?

Hopefully, nothing will hit us this year, but Ya Never Know.

If you are affected by the hurricane , jetblue.com will have a notice and you can call 1 800 jetblue to change your flights. I am not sure if they would have extra sections but if it happens to you you may wish to see if you can switch to TPF from SRQ as they have more flights. Change fees would get waived in case of hurricane . They have a blurb on jetblue.com for hurricane Earl.

I would generally not expect extra sections. There will be travel waivers and such but if the flights are full then they're full and there isn't much you can do about that.

I have seen extra sections before, especially if previous flights have been cancelled. It mostly depends on there being extra crews and planes around.

I've sen them, too. But I wouldn't bet on them as an evac type thing to get people out versus the occasional make-up after cancellations.

Hmm...I have a JFK-BOS same day return on Saturday, I wonder what my chances are...

Your flight out Sat morning may be delayed but coming home, the storm will be long gone from Boston and the northeast. By 10 am on Saturday the rain and breezes will be history. the only delays I can see returning to BOS is residual delays from earlier in the day
