Not too likely. The inbound flight is probably scheduled to come in Friday night and that won’t be happening.

Yeah I honestly didn't check frontier yesterday, my apologies.

Whoever was asking about united, no they do not have a waiver posted as of 4:15pm Wednesday. American and Southwest are now added, about to update the OP.

Southwest wouldn't give me a voucher yesterday (Wed) at lunch, "check back tomorrow." I eventually got moved to the flight I wanted but kind of baffling from such a usually great and flexible airline.

The United waiver came in this morning.

I haven't looked into it, we re-scheduled our flight to this afternoon, hopefully we get out before any cancellations.

Thanks for the info, Cuse. What does everyone think of the possibility of flying out of Houston tomorrow at 10:30 AM? Looks like we might be getting some bands of rain from the storm all morning.
