Airlines waive change fees for flights ahead of Tropical Storm Barry

While Tropical Storm Barry might ruin some travellers' plans this weekend, airlines are trying to to minimise the effects on their budgets. Tropical Storm Barry is expected to make landfall in Louisiana as a Category 1 hurricane on Saturday, and airlines are offering travel waivers to those with flight reservations. The waivers allow those with previous tickets to change their reservations without fees, as long as they make the switch by a certain deadline. Below are the airlines offering waivers to passengers. Details vary by carrier. Most waivers are good for flights to, from or connecting through certain airports, but travellers should check the airlines' websites for specifics. Story has details.<br/>
