Morning Links: JetBlue begins LAX-New York and Boston routes; British Airways employees asked to work without pay

> Angelenos, you can now fly JetBlue out of LAX to New York and Boston. Will JetBlue open new routes to Latin America and Canada from Los Angeles as they have from New York? We can only hope. The inaugural flight from New York (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX) arrives Wednesday at 10:45 a.m. in Terminal 6.

> The black boxes from AirFrance Flight 447 have not been found, but 400 pieces of the Airbus jet have been recovered.

> British Airways asked its 40,000 employees to work for no pay for up to a month. The airline has admitted to losing $595 million in the last fiscal year, which ended in March, and even the chief of BA will not be taking a salary for the month of July. Other employees will be able to have their income cuts taken out of their salary over several months.

> Do you ever wonder how travel booking sites compare? The Frugal Traveler compares notes while checking prices for a trip from New York City to Vancouver. Pssst … not all the recommendations he got panned out.

> Say hello to the Terranea resort in Palos Verdes. Weekdays are 50% off.
