I was just thinking that if you have staff that are able to accept new reservations, that they could probably process refunds as well. I guess I’ll know more next week.Sounds reasonable and truthful to me Katie Count. Hopefully they won’t go broke in the meantime but I believe what they have told you, they likely do have staff stood down, in lockdown, with CV19 or otherwise unable to go to the office.

Hi all, I am a big fan of a jet blue... We like their early flight into LGB from PDX and take their late flight home... well no more... discovered yesterday (maybe you all already know this), they seem to have cut LGB from their list after 10/6. So I have a credit with them from my cancelled March trip that is probably going to sit in the account for some time... maybe they will add it back, but a I am not holding my breath.
I would use those JetBlue credits for other destinations (or to LAX, yuck) and start looking at Southwest, which is picking up a lot of the slots at LGB.
I love WN, but I've flown B6 since the early 00s out of LGB back when it was just a series of modular trailers. LAX is such a terrible airport, I will probably never follow them there, ever.
Last-minute reprieve... for now.Another one bites the dust

LYFT Rideshare operations are being suspended in California From August 20
At 11:59PM PT today August 20 our rideshare operations in California will be suspended. This is not something we wanted to do, as we know millions of Californians depend on Lyft for daily, essential trips. We’re personally reaching out to riders and drivers to share more about why this is happening, what you can do about it, and to provide some transportation alternatives.
Why this is happening
For multiple years, we’ve been advocating for a path to offer benefits to drivers who use the Lyft platform — including a minimum earnings guarantee and a healthcare subsidy — while maintaining the flexibility and control that independent contractors enjoy. This is something drivers have told us over and over again that they want.
Instead, what Sacramento politicians are pushing is an employment model that 4 out of 5 drivers don’t support. This change would also necessitate an overhaul of the entire business model — it’s not a switch that can be flipped overnight.
In this new model that politicians are pushing:
- Passengers would experience reduced service, especially in suburban and rural areas
- 80% of drivers would lose work and the rest would have scheduled shifts, and capped hourly earnings.
- Lower-income riders trying to make it to essential jobs and medical appointments would be faced with unaffordable prices (38% of Lyft rides in California begin or end in low-income areas that have few transit options already).
We don’t want to suspend operations. We are going to keep up the fight for a benefits model that works for all drivers and our riders. We’ve spent hundreds of hours meeting with policymakers and labor leaders to craft an alternative proposal for drivers that includes a minimum earnings guarantee, mileage reimbursement, a health care subsidy, and occupational accident insurance, without the negative consequences.

Oh! Thanks!Super Shuttle closed down early 2020, just before Covid
Look over the first post in this superthread. That should get you updated on what's going on with the shuttles. The changes that happened in airport transportation have been posted in red.Oh! Thanks!
I wonder if prime time has a similar personal shuttle.
