United Airlines issued travel waivers ahead of Winter Storm Fern. The massive storm expects to bring catastrophic ice accumulations and heavy snow across the U.S. The storm will affect hundreds of millions, creating dangerous travel conditions from the Plains to the Midwest and Northeast.
The waivers allow customers to reschedule flights without change fees or fare differences. This applies to tickets purchased before a specified date. United's waiver covers numerous airports across the Southern U.S., the Mid-Atlantic, and the Northeast regions.
Airlines urge passengers to monitor flight status closely. Severe weather creates a high likelihood of delays and cancellations.
