Airlines begin waiving change fees ahead of Winter Storm Gia

Airlines began waiving change fees ahead of a winter storm that’s forecast to spread snow from the Rockies east through the Midwest and – eventually – the Mid-Atlantic. By Thursday evening, United was waiving change fees for Friday travellers ticketed to fly through Denver and nine other airports in Colorado, where a half-foot of snow was possible. Southwest rolled out its own waiver, which covered travellers ticketed to fly through St Louis on Friday and Saturday. The same storm system was forecast to bring several inches of snow there. More waivers were likely to come as the storm forecasts solidified. Other major airports where measurable snow is possible through Sunday include Washington Dulles, Washington Reagan National, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.<br/>
