JetBlue to fly drivers over LA's 'Carmageddon'


Drivers seeking to avoid gridlock during Los Angeles' planned closure of Interstate 405 this weekend can fly over the freeway for $5 or less.

JetBlue has announced four Saturday flights between Long Beach Airport and Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, calling the service a "planepool" between the San Fernando Valley and the beach.

Regular seats will cost $4 and seats with extra legroom will go for $5.

Authorities plan to shut a 10-mile segment of Interstate 405 for 53 hours so crews can demolish one side of the Mulholland Drive Bridge as part of a larger $1-billion freeway improvement project.
