re: Hurricane Flights Thread- All Airlines Waivers

How do you check for Travel Waivers? I am flying out Thursday am out of MSY with Southwest.

Thanks! Nothing on there so far.

Thank you for posting the United waiver, updated the OP. If you see any of the other airlines feel free to say AA or DL or Southwest has the waiver up and I'll add the detailed info throughout the day.

Southwest has posted travel waivers for Francine:

I have a question about an upcoming SW flight. I am supposed to leave out of MSY on SW at 5:15 PM this Wednesday. There is a travel waiver in place, but I have no interest in rebooking the flight to another time. It is work related travel and I will miss the event so there is no need to make the trip. I would prefer a full refund, but currently SW is only offering travel credit. But it if SW cancels the flight, then I am entitled to a refund. I am about 90% sure the flight will be cancelled.

Just trying to gauge the headache of waiting for the flight to be cancelled, then calling their 800 number in order to get a refund. If it is not cancelled, I believe I can still cancel up until flight time for the travel credits. Total ticket price is $325 and I usually fly SW 1-2 times per year, but would rather the refund. Any advice?

Do you think flights into MSY on Thursday afternoon will be impacted?

Missed this. I'm not sure similar to the post above. I don't want to say change it if AA ends up operating the noon flight, but if it's cancelled day of and everything is full until Saturday that's a risk

I'd say low to very low. Winds pick up by 10am, not sure any airlines will want to leave planes overnight in MSY Tuesday into Wednesday. Can you leave Tuesday night?

Delta has posted their flight advisories but only good for Sept 10 and 11th
