|  The price for a one-way ticket between the two major metropolitan areas in California, normally a cheap seat, soared to $700 as of Wednesday, and remained high through Dec. 31, amid the ongoing winter storm chaos.
Critics blamed Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg for failing to heed warnings by officials in several states about the lack of consumer protections for flight cancelations, and previous failures by Southwest Airlines, the culprit in the bulk of the holiday delays.
Southwest’s woes — blamed on outdated crew schedule software — caused days-long delays for travelers, and pushed prices on rival carriers to astonishing highs.
Those attempting to drive can expect to navigate heavy winter storms that are expected to cause flooding in some areas, and even snow at higher elevations. A storm earlier this month stranded drivers on I-5 in snow.
Buttigieg is facing unprecedented criticism, after being “AWOL” during previous crises — on unannounced paternity leave during last summer’s cargo crisis, and on vacation in Portugal during this fall’s rail crisis.https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/12/29/price-for-l-a-san-francisco-flights-soars-to-700-amid-travel-crisis/ |
