For those who are flying to Disney, I just wanted to share that United Airlines, Delta Airlines, and American Airlines will be getting rid of most of their change fees.
I was told that American Airlines wouldn’t charge me more for my ticket if I use my credit for the original destination. Nice! We cancelled due to C-19 and if the new tickets cost more I won’t have to pay the difference.
I’m not sure how much of a change this is. They haven’t had change fees since the start of the pandemic, and United even let us cancel for free and gave us a refund. (Delta gives us vouchers, which is still okay, we’ll use them).
I think what they’re saying here is that it’s permanent. Until they change their minds, of course. But it will make it harder for them to go back to their old ways.
Interestingly, American just added a brand new flight out of our local airport, to start in November. So hopefully that means they are expecting air travel to recover quickly. There will be a lot of pent-up demand, I’m sure!
