US: Airlines begin to offer travel waivers for Hurricane Matthew

Airlines are canceling some flights to the Caribbean and even the mainland US as Hurricane Matthew is expected to spin toward Florida later this week. By late Tuesday, American Airlines had canceled about 120 flights through Saturday, a spokesman said. Nearly half were departures from Miami, mostly to Caribbean destinations. Delta planned to check the latest storm-tracking models on Wednesday before deciding whether to scrap any Florida flights, according to an airline spokesman. Many US airlines are letting passengers change travel plans without penalty if their trip might be affected by the hurricane, which pounded Haiti on Tuesday and caused flooding that was blamed for several deaths.<br/>
