It was a fun and informative day at #FLL, as @browardschools students participated in #AutismInFlight2026, where 50+ children and their families practiced the airport experience in a calm, supportive space. The simulation - from checking in to security processing and waiting at the gate - helped build confidence and brought smiles as they boarded @JetBlue's aircraft for a mock flight to beautiful Costa Rica. Many thanks to the families, volunteers, and our airport partners, including @TSA, @delawarenorth, and @browardsheriff, for making the event possible. #11years
