Airlines waive change fees for several Florida cities as Tropical Storm Elsa nears
Florida – Three major airlines relaxed ticket change policies for several Florida cities due to Tropical Storm Elsa.
Heavy rains and high winds are likely in western Florida through Wednesday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Tuesday. The storm currently has maximum sustained winds of about 60 mph, the NOAA said.
Delta and American Airlines will be waiving change fees for Fort Myers, Key West, Sarasota, and Tampa.
Delta travelers can change their tickets to fly with no fee by July 10.
American Airlines said it would waive change fees for the most restrictive tickets, basic economy, as well as any fare difference for all travelers booked to or from Fort Myers, Key West, Sarasota, and Tampa through July 7, if customers can travel no later than July 12. A fair difference would apply after that.
United Airlines will also waive the change fee for the cities mentioned, as well as Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando.
