Another probably stupid question about waivers. Would a Delta waiver also work for Virgin Atlantic?

What should show up on a waiver change would be Delta flight numbers for flights operated by Virgin Atlantic. Since it's a codeshare flight, all the skyteam airlines use their own flight numbers but it's only operated by one airline.

Example is Virgin Atlantic 104, departing Atlanta at 7:25pm arriving London 8:45am. If delta posts a waiver, it should show up as DL 4365 (Operated by Virgin Atlantic). Same flight, different flight numbers

If I got a an email from southwest saying "REFUND ON Sep 5, 2017 TO Residual Travel Funds $131.60"

Is that a refund to my card or is it basically a credit for when I book the next flight. I thought I'd be getting a refund to my card, but I haven't seen anything on my statement yet.

I'm flying out of Baton Rouge on Sunday at noon to Atlanta. Do you think my flight will be impacted?

You'll. Be fine.


Damn. Delta waiving baggage fees and in-cabin pet fees with Irma waiver cities.

With a few st.bernard's on the plane, they may have some weight and balance issues on any CRJs. Luckily, I think they could convince the dogs to move to the last row for a treat

Need some quick assistance.

Need to get into and out of RDU prior to storms arrival. When will Southwest look at suspending operations ahead of the storm?

Looking for fly in Sat and back out mid-day Monday. It looks like the storm will still be at the Fla/Ga line at that point, but don't know how far in advance things will start shutting down.

Saturday will be okay, Monday may be a problem but the earlier the better. Southwest has been cancelling flights left and right after Harvey without flying extra sections so if your flight gets cancelled you could be in RDU for a while.

Redneck sorry I missed your post. Is the flight actually at 5pm Eastern, 4 central? If so you better pray that southwest actually gets the flight out. The FLL airport is closing tomorrow night starting at 8pm so they only have about a 3 hr wiggle room for delays

Please explain this to me like a child, I've never had to do this...I booked a trip to turks and caicos for the end of october through expedia(that I can cancel up until October 8th - so that part is easy) The flights I booked through capital one travel with points with delta. Do I need to go through cap one or delta to get them changed to another destination? I understand I get a one time change flight with no fee through delta due to hurricanes. What if the new destination doesn't use delta?

I'm not familiar how the Cap1 points work, but if its converted to Delta 006 ticket stock, you need to work with Delta on the new destination. In that case, you'll need to find a Delta-served location...which is pretty much everywhere but some of the smaller islands in the Caribbean...and West Texas.

FLL airport closes at 8pm, just hope his flight to FLL is on-time and his one to MSY doesn't get cancelled. What you should also do is keep an eye out the rest of the afternoon and evening for any other nonstop or connecting flights that open up.

ETA: Check again now! Flight through ATL at 6:05am just opened up


Seriously just keep checking and updating every few minutes. Inventory will be all over the place through tomorrow morning
