US: Hurricane Florence: Airline change waivers now extend to D.C., Baltimore
Change fee waivers and flexible rebooking policies were now in place at every big airline serving the mid-Atlantic area that’s expected to be in the path of Hurricane Florence, now a Category 4 storm that could bring “catastrophic” damage. Those flexible-rebooking policies initially included airports in the Carolinas, Georgia and Virginia. But, by Tuesday morning, they extended as far north as Maryland. The exact path of Florence still has some uncertainty, but meteorologists appear increasingly confident the storm will make landfall along the coast of Carolinas or – possibly – Virginia. “Based on current models, it’s likely that the biggest impact will be to the Charlotte airport, which is an American Airlines hub,” FlightAware said. “If the storm turns north towards D.C., more airlines will be impacted.” <br/>
