Major airlines are warning of delays and cancellations from today’s expected snow and waiving the usual fees to change flights.
American, United and Continental all say there could be travel disruptions at large airports, including La Guardia, JFK and Newark. The National Weather Service has issued winter-storm watches from eastern Pennsylvania to Vermont ahead of the storm.
American said yesterday that customers scheduled to fly to, from or through 14 airports in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Massachusetts tomorrow or Sunday can change their itinerary without paying the usual $150 rebooking fee if they begin their rescheduled trip no later than Monday.
United and Continental made a similar announcement covering travel at 14 airports in the Northeast between today and Monday.
They also normally charge $150 to change a domestic booking but will waive the fee and any difference in fare if the rescheduled trip starts by Jan. 23.
