As one of the strongest storms to ever hit Florida's southwest coast, Hurricane Irma prompted thousands of residents to evacuate the state.
Now as many Floridians start to prepare to return home, JetBlue is offering $99 direct flights to the Sunshine State.

JetBlue continues to waive cancellation fees, change fees and differences in airfare for rebooking.
The airline capped fare prices on flights out of Florida last week as some evacuees faced astronomically high fares from some companies.
In preparation for the storm, an additional 90 flights have been added to JetBlue's schedule to help customers and crew members, according to the airline.
