U.S. Airways Waives Fees to Southern California

Filed in archive Aviation Travel on October 24, 2007

If you watch the news, then you know about the wildfires in Southern California. Over a million people have been evacuated and homes have been destroyed. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who is or will be affected by this disaster. And I'm not the only person thinking about those affected. In a classy move, U.S. Airways announced they're waiving fees for passengers traveling to or from the affected who may need to change their plans.

The carrier said Tuesday it will revise its fee policies for customers who had travel plans between Monday and Friday this week.

Those flying to or from Southern California airports will be able to delay or move up their flights by up to seven days without paying extra fees. The airline also won't charge the standard fee if customers want to change their flights altogether.

The airline said the waiver might not apply if tickets were bought from third-party discount companies or Web sites.
