What are the policies of airlines in war times?-
Delta Airlines relaxes rules for restricted tickets on its transatlantic routes. Fares purchased between March 5, 2003, and March 31, 2003 must be changed prior to May 31, 2003, and a
minimum of three days prior to the original travel date. Rebooked travel must be completed by December 31, 2003. The value of tickets may be used for travel to another destination, but passengers
will be required to pay any difference in airfare. A travel credit will be issued when the change results in a lower ticket price.
-
Northwest Airlines has prepared a policy for its passengers who have already purchased their tickets for international
travel should military action, or a Code Red alert be declared. Change fees will be waived for tickets, and they must be changed within 90 days of such events, with travel completed by December
15, 2003. Tickets may also be used as credit towards travel to another destination, with the passenger paying any difference in the cost of the new ticket (no refund given for a ticket that costs
less). Rebooking must be done before the original travel date, or within 30 days of the beginning of military action (whichever is earlier).
-
US Airways has instituted a 'Peace of Mind' policy for passengers who have already purchased tickets for international flights.
In the event of a Code Red and/or military action, change fees will be waived. The value of unused tickets may be applied to future travel for the same, or a different destination; travel can be
rebooked within 90 days from the start of military action or a Level Red Alert; and passengers who have already begun travel will be able to make changes as well.
-
Alaska Airlines will permit passengers to make changes without penalty to their tickets if they are purchased prior to a Code
Red Alert, or military action. Rebooked travel must be completed by September 30th, 2003.
