U.S. airlines are waiving change fees for weekend travel ahead of Winter Storm Gianna.
The bomb cyclone is threatening to snarl travel from the Southeast to New England in the coming days and carriers are preparing for flight disruptions by encouraging customers to rebook at no charge.
American Airlines has issued a travel alert for nearly 30 airports across the Southeast, including hubs in Atlanta and Charlotte. Customers must be scheduled to travel through one of the affected airports between Friday, January 30 and Monday, February 2, and rebook by February 2 for travel by Friday, February 6, to avoid a fare difference.
Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines has also issued a notice for travelers flying into or out of more than 20 airports in the Southeast on Saturday, January 31 or Sunday, February 1. Customers must rebook and travel by Wednesday, February 4, to avoid any potential added costs.
United Airlines' waiver covers Friday, January 30 to Sunday, February 1, and customers have until Sunday, February 8 to complete rebooked travel.
Southwest Airlines and others have followed suit so travelers in the storm's path are encouraged to check with their carrier to learn all of their options. As always, travelers are advised to check their flight status with their airline before arriving at the airport.
