I decided to post this thread because the airlines - ONE in particular (I'm looking at you, United) - keep changing their cancellation/reschedule policies, and I'm having a hard time keeping up. I've got travel booked on United, Delta, and Alaska Airlines that spans the dates of May 29 - June 10.
Below is what I know about the CURRENT policies of those three airlines. Updates to this thread as things change would be helpful.
Delta (yay Delta!): Waiving change fees and giving TWO years to rebook and commence travel, through May 31, 2022.
This applies for travel booked for April and May 2020 or cancelled flights from March, April, and May 2020.
Alaska (meh, you can do better): Waiving change fees for the following reservations -
Tickets Purchased On/Before
February 26, 2020
Original Travel Dates
March 9, 2020 - May 31, 2020
New Travel Dates
March 9, 2020 - February 28, 2021 (really, Alaska thinks passengers can book new travel dates in March, April, or May 2020?!?)
Tickets Purchased Between
February 27, 2020 - April 30, 2020
Original Travel Dates
February 27, 2020 - February 28, 2021
New Travel Dates
February 27, 2020 - February 28, 2021
United (HISS, BOO, HISS!): Waiving change fees for the following reservations -
Original ticket must be issued on or before:
March 2, 2020
Original travel dates
June 1, 2020 - December 31, 2020
Changes or cancellations must be made on/before April 30, 2020 (This is a NEW condition that WAS NOT in place when I called Chase about my United tickets a couple of weeks ago. Chase is asking people to hold off on even contacting them until 72 hours before flying. And this policy is forcing customers to cancel before United cancels the flight!)
Rebooked travel must commence within 12 months from the original ticket issue date
For travel original scheduled before June 1:
Original ticket must be issued on or before:
March 2, 2020
Original travel dates
March 3, 2020 - May 31, 2020
Flight changes:
New tickets must be reissued on/before December 31, 2020 or 12 months from original ticket date, whichever is earlier.
Rebooked travel must commence within 12 months from the original ticket issue date
