The Delta flight waivers apply to individuals with affected travel plans for Friday, September 27, and to qualify, the new ticket must be issued on or before Tuesday, October 1.
With weather conditions affecting travel in Atlanta due to Hurricane Helene, Delta Airlines is taking action to ensure affected customers can quickly resume their plans through flight waivers.
According to 11 Alive, Delta Airlines, whose hub is in Georgia, will issue travel waivers to customers impacted by travel delays and cancellations caused by Hurricane Helene. The storm, which made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend area late Thursday (Sept. 26), hit the area as a Category 4 hurricane and is expected to continue to weaken as it continues on its path up the southeast region of the nation.
“Delta anticipates possible changes to Friday morning’s scheduled operations at ATL as weather conditions (primarily winds) affect the airport early in the day,” said Delta Airlines in an official news release. “Delays and some cancellations may be necessary to safely serve our customers after peak weather concerns have passed by midday Friday.”
The Delta flight waivers apply to individuals with affected travel plans for Friday, September 27, and to qualify, the new ticket must be issued on or before Tuesday, October 1. Price differences for rebooked flights will only be honored for the same booking class that was initially issued for the original ticket, and the flight must be rescheduled for on or before the aforementioned date next month. Customers will only have to come out of pocket if their travel is rescheduled for a date after Oct. 1 or if they decide to switch booking classes on the new flight.
The outlet also revealed that at least three weather-related deaths, two in Wheeler, Georgia, and one in Florida’s Tampa area, have occurred as a result of Hurricane Helene.
