Delta Policy re: Isabel

[n2mm]

Just for those flying in the next couple of days in the path of Isabel. Delta now says that you can change your flight plans with no penalties or increased fare. FYI, I just did it and had no problem. We were to leave out of Wash. DC Thurs. AM and now we are leaving around noon on Wednesday. Things seem to be falling into place. Even called Disney and had no problem adding on a day earlier for 2 rooms at my discount rate...couldn't believe it. Now have to work on the rental car, but do have a backup plan if National is not accommodating. Delta was wonderful, helping and extremely friendly in rebooking 3 different sets of tickets for our party of 6. There is a list of cities that are affected by the upcoming storm that qualify for the free changes.

Just try modifying your existing National ressie before you call or cancel. Lately it has been doing this without a hitch or increase in rental.

Thanks Gail, I did change my national reservations for myself and my daugther and because it wasn't a whole day, I even kept my exact price--can you believe it. I also wanted to thank you for sharing your awlful sorry with national recently. After reading your post, I went back and made copies of my reservations, plus a copy of the coupons I'm using. We have been pretty lucky with national, but after your encounter, I figured I better be prepared. I can't believe everything is clicking so well.

American and Jet Blue are also offering flexibility in changing plans for trips out of NYC the next few days.

Thanks for posting.

I'm happy to say that NYC is not on the list. We're flying out of LGA on Sat morning and I think we'll be OK. I'll keep an eye on it, though.

I think we're just going to get heavy rain & wind gusts here. So I think flights may be delayed on Friday, they should be OK on Saturday.
