Airlines waive change fees as nor'easter hits Northeast
Over 88,000 customers in the region had lost power as of Saturday morning.
A nor easter is slamming the Northeast, forcing airlines to waive change fees for passengers. American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue Airways, and United Airlines have all announced they will allow customers to rebook flights for free as the storm threatens the region. Over 88,000 power outages have been reported, with nearly 26,000 in New York City alone, as of Saturday morning.
Major airports in the area, such as LaGuardia in New York and Logan in Boston, have seen canceled flights. Travelers can still change their bookings until September 29 or 30, depending on the airline. The nor easter brought heavy rain and warnings of more to come, with New York Governor Kathy Hochul declaring a state of emergency for parts of the state.
