Many airlines (including American, Delta, JetBlue, and Southwest) are offering free changes though numerous airports due to Ida, with the difference in fare waived if you travel on select dates.
However, United is taking the highly unusual step of offering a full cash refund and waiver of cancellation fees on all tickets to/from/through Newark for travel today or tomorrow, as long as the ticket was purchased before today!
This includes non-refundable travel in any class, including basic economy and for all award travel.
Alternatively you can rebook flights to/from/through Newark that were scheduled for travel today or tomorrow through September 10th without paying any difference in fare or miles.
This appears to be United’s first level 3 waiver (full refunds allowed) since January 2020…
It’s another reason why I always say to wait to cancel flights you won’t take until just before departure, in case the flight is cancelled, changed, or a travel waiver is announced.
Did you have any travel booked through Newark today or tomorrow?
Are any airlines offering full refund on canceled tickets if I book today? I saw a few posts floating around.
If i am rerouted to iad instead of ewr and the will not offer me a flight from iad to nyc until sunday what are my options?
And can i get reimbursed in any way?
Feeling lucky that I got to take off to Alaska today from Newark. The Lounge was soooo packed and no where to sit due to all the cancelations.
I was supposed to be on last night’s canceled flight to tlv and was already confirmed to business through plan b. đ
