Probably more money than that as they would need to provide ground transportation to every passenger to make up for landing at a different airport
JetBlue really messed up with this one!

That would be Spirit. JetBlue has done well for me.

Flew from Brussels to London Heathrow on Virgin Airlines.
My flight was first delayed, then cancelled.

The carrier gave me a voucher for a drink.

Eventually they got me on another flight. But my checked luggage didn’t come with me. When I got to Heathrow I wanted to tear into their people but what could they do about institutional incompetence?

But I will NEVER fly on Virgin Airline again.

Ive had no problems flying Jetblue. However there’s something going on with them. They’ve been cancelling flights like crazy recently because of “weather delays” and “air traffic control delays”(that’s funny no one else cancelling flights) also “staffing issues”.

My daughter and I was once on a flight from San Antonio to Newark and all hell broke loose with the weather. We were so scared, we created a game called cloud surfing so when the turbulence hit, and it was for most of the flight, we would ride the bumps.

The flight was diverted to come into Newark via upstate NY. Was a crazy trip. People losing their lunches, screaming and all. But my daughter was a trooper and we actually had fun. Well, she did. I was doing everything I could to avoid the panic attack that was coming on fast.

JetBlue would appear to be the Denny’s of airlines.

More like Sambo’s, oh i can’t say that!

Pretty sure he’s alluding to the same trick that John Dillinger used to get out of the jail in Crown Point.

There is no alternate provision for customs clearance at a divert airport? Surely they jest?

Sounds like a decision that is all about money somehow.

International flights land at Newark all day every day.
