Airlines Get Set For Winter Weather Over The Holidays

Several Allowing Flight Changes With No Penalty

Three airlines with hubs in the northeast have loosened restrictions on ticket changes in anticipation of severe winter weather in the region this weekend.

United Continental Holdings announced travel options Thursday for United and Continental customers whose flight plans may be affected by severe winter weather forecast for the Northeast region. Weather conditions are expected to make air travel difficult, forcing some delays and cancellations of flights at United's hub at Washington Dulles and Continental's hub at New York / Newark Liberty International Airport for travel from Dec. 25 through Dec. 27. Operations at other airports throughout the Northeast region may also be affected.

Customers scheduled on flights to, from or through the impacted areas may reschedule their itinerary with a one-time date or time change, and the change fees will be waived. If a flight has been canceled, a refund in the original form of payment may be requested. Complete details and eligible travel dates are available at united.com and continental.com.

Similarly, Delta Air Lines is offering customers whose flight plans may be affected by winter weather expected this weekend across the U.S. Southeast and East Coast the ability to make one-time changes to their travel schedules without fees. Delta's weather advisory encourages customers to consider postponing or re-routing their travel to avoid possible inconvenience from expected flight delays.

Customers booked on Delta-ticketed flights to, from or through the following cities may immediately rebook for travel before or after their original travel dates as long as new flights are ticketed and rescheduled travel begins by Dec. 29, 2010. 

  • Atlanta (for travel originally booked for Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 25-26)
  • Baltimore (for travel originally booked for Sunday and Monday, Dec. 26-27)
  • Boston (for travel originally booked for Sunday and Monday, Dec. 26-27)
  • Newark (for travel originally booked for Sunday and Monday, Dec. 26-27)
  • New York City (for travel originally booked for Sunday and Monday, Dec. 26-27)
  • Washington, D.C. (for travel originally booked for Sunday and Monday, Dec. 26-27)

Flight delays are possible at these airports as a result of winter weather, and Delta says it will proactively reduce flight schedules to minimize delays.

On their website, US Airways has posted a travel advisory for passengers as well. The affected airports are expected to be in the Washington, DC area, as well as their hub in Charlotte.
