Spirit. I had to argue but they refunded my money. Wanted to issue a voucher but I refused.

doctorj--I believe PJIA will be closed until approximately June 1, so I doubt your flight will happen.

I was looking at May. JetBlue is flying Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday’s. In and out of JFK. When I looked yesterday I could fly for 258!! Round trip! Very very tempted! I saw some AA from DCA for $327 in June. They haven't been that price for YEARS!

Clifftops--you are still on Anguilla then? And interesting, are you saying you think airlines are selling flights that they KNOW will never happen, just to get the cash? Since the DOT has already announced they won't let airlines require only vouchers for flights they cancel, that seems stupid, even for the airlines.

There won't be any relief flights on SXM for sure.

It’s for the cash flow. Give me your money today and I will give it back to you tomorrow and pay you no interest. Owned a business for 45 years and believe me cash flow sometimes became more important than profit. Yes still on Anguilla.

Clifftops--seems stupid to me, wouldn't think there would be enough people who would do it, to make any difference. But OK. Best wishes.

While it doesn't make a lot of sense to me on the surface, think about it. It IS the airlines and what CLIFFTOPS said does make sense with regard to cash flow and there will always be someone out there to take the "dangling carrot" (low fares) in hopes of getting a real bargain. I personally can't imagine that may people biting but who knows for sure?

OK, I guess I was thinking in terms of just SXM, but if they are showing really low fares to anywhere, a lot of people will book them and then just accept a voucher.. And THEN they file chapter 11 and they have your money for free for who knows how long? Maybe forever...….

Why would anyone in their right mind get on a plane right now?

Yes, it could be quite a "cat and mouse" game. Not one I would be willing to play at this point, even IF there was a decent fare from my area, which would likely never happen.
I just checked the DAY airport for today, already 20 of 36 outbound flights are shown as cancelled and 19 of 36 inbound flights are shown as cancelled. This number will likely increase as the day goes on. Most flights from here go to hub cities, some overnight here and go back to a hub city. Just an example of the impact on air travel as it exists now.
I did a quick check of ATL and while there are not near as many cancelled flights listed for them (way too many to count), there is a substantial number of flights shown as cancelled.
I do not recall where I read it but there was something indicating airlines must continue to fly certain routes to maintain those routes in the future. If I find it, I will post a link.
