JetBlue offers free flights, fee waivers to families of Orlando victims
Sometimes, it's not about the money.
JetBlue is providing free seats on flights to and from Orlando for the family and domestic partners of victims of the attack at Pulse, a popular gay nightclub, on June 12. Fee waivers are also available to those who need to make last minute changes to flights to or from Orlando.
The night of the attack was "Latin Night" at Pulse, and many of the victims have family in Puerto Rico, a popular JetBlue destination according to Fox13.
