First one of these hurricane waivers of the year, welcome back to the 2024 edition . For those of you flying to the Caribbean/Mexico this coming week, Beryl looks to be a nasty storm and should have you reconsidering travel. I'm posting the waivers that are up now below and will update throughout the week as appropriate. If you have any specific questions/issues, feel free to post here and myself or someone else can try and help you think through options. If the storm is bad enough, these waivers will get extended date wise to include a much longer range of time.

All airlines have waiver up for Cancun 7/3-7/5

Thanks for posting. We're supposed to be in GCM July 3-7. Now, there's another potential storm 3 days behind Beryl.

Can you wait until they post the waivers? I'd expect at least one to pop up for GCM within the next 48 hours

Or are you limited by the resort/hotel cancellations?

Yes cancel, but do you want to wait until the airlines have a waiver up and try to reschedule for later or do you want the credits? Could also wait until they officially cancel the flights and get a true refund back to your card. Not sure if you booked as part of a package or individually

Tuesday evening update- Looks like American and Southwest have added in Cancun. If you have flights on either of those airlines and are currently in or planning to go to mexico, now is your chance to change for free to whatever you want.

Waiting on Delta, Jetblue, and United to add in Cancun

Glad you were able to get out of there

I'm currently mid flight so unable to update the waivers but all of the airlines have Cancun at this point. Anyone in Mexico would highly recommend getting out ASAP or postponing travel

I am in Cancun now. Was on isla mujeres but was evacuated here. 30-35 mph winds. The Mexican government has banned the distribution of alcohol. All for a strong thunderstorm. I am not flying out till 7/6 at 4PM so I think we will be OK. But this government and their bullshite have made me never want to return to this shitty country
