Major U.S. Airlines Have Dropped Their Change Fees. But Not All Policies Are the Same.

Recently, major U.S. airlines, including United, Delta, and more, dropped their change fees to accommodate the unpredictable effects that COVID-19 has had on travel. However, each airline has slightly different policies that passengers should be aware of. In August, United Airlines took the plunge, eliminating change fees on most economy and premium tickets for travel within the U.S. and a few neighboring countries. The carrier, which used to charge $200 to change domestic travel and $75 to fly standby, also said it would allow all passengers to fly same-day standby for free on both domestic and international routes starting Jan. 1. Shortly after, Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, and Alaska Airlines followed suit, coming up with their own policies to waive change fees for certain routes or allowing customers to fly standby for free, depending on the carrier.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Southwest never charged change fees, instead only charging the difference in fares if someone changed their flight. While passengers can always cancel a flight they booked within 24 hours of purchasing it (due to a handy policy by the Department of Transportation), airlines set their own rules when it comes to changing at the last minute. And even those committing to permanently waiving change fees have some notable exceptions. Read more

The British Virgin Islands (BVI) will reopen its borders to international visitors beginning December 1, premier and minister of finance Andrew A. Fahie said Monday, under a phased plan launched earlier, designed to address the COVID-19 pandemic. The territory is among several Caribbean destinations that continue to reopen borders to international visitors and adjust internal health and safety protocols as they seek to restart critical tourism activity following the COVID-19 outbreak.

Although Fahie said the territory will “reopen in the safest way possible using science and technology as a guide,” he did not outline details of health and safety protocols the territory will require of international visitors. Fahie made the announcement during a “BVILOVE” tourism campaign event, said officials in a statement. (Read More)

Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are just around the corner.  And now is the time to buy if you want to fly. It's definitely not too early to book travel for Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year. In fact, historical data shows that nearly a quarter of Travelers book their Thanksgiving airfare by the end of September.  But we are now in October and the window of opportunity to buy at the best possible rates is closing up. 

Many travel experts say that many of the advantages of booking early include a better chance of getting the hotel or flight you want at a better price.  It is a matter of supply and demand and as we get closer we get to the holidays, we always see airfare continue to increase in price. If flying into one of the bigger cities, considering alternative Airports have better flight times, less delays and easier access to traffic to and from the airport a few days before and after the actual holiday can be an economical way to go. And if you're planning to use reward points for say a hotel stay you definitely need to get that book now.
