Midwest US Travel Waiver Nov 24-26: All Airlines, Chicago/KC on Watch

Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving and lots of turkey, beer, and football . For those of you flying back home or for work tomorrow through Monday, please be on alert there are travel waivers up for all the airlines due to a chance of rain, sleet, and snow in the midwest. Chicago looks to be likely in the line of fire so if you're on American or United with a connection, you're in luck! For those of you going through Chicago Sunday, if possible go in the morning as it looks like the weather will get worse as the day continues.

If you have inconvenient flight times scheduled, feel free to call now and get rebooked for free. You can also try doing it online (for Southwest), but I find the agents on the phone are better (for Delta) as long as there are not waits over 10 minutes. If you need help rebooking or want to hear of some of your options, please feel free to ask for help and myself or someone on here can assist. I'm flying back to Buff tomorrow so will have free time then and also on Sunday to help.
