Spirit Airlines, American Airlines, JetBlue, Southwest Airlines and Delta all have made changes to how passengers can adjust their travel plans because of warnings about the virus. The dates vary on when travellers have to meet deadlines to make the changes without facing penalties. Travellers are advised to check with their individual carrier.<br/>
