Airlines dump fees, United cancellations, Anti-COVID-19 measures + more travel news
In an oddly timed move, late Sunday afternoon United Airlines announced that it would “permanently get rid of change fees on all standard Economy and Premium cabin tickets for travel within the U.S., effective immediately.” The fees will remain on international tickets, as well as the airline's cheapest, most restricted "basic economy" fares, however. Within 24 hours both Delta and American had matched the move. Will it last forever as the airlines have promised? Hmmm.
