Airlines Revise Ticketing Policy

Know More:

A few of my friends were starting their pre-back to school holiday today. That means that many of them are experiencing massive delays.

SMS from a friend: "Just boarded N375UA (United Airlines) Security was a blast! Flight delayed 45 mins to ORD (Chicago O'Hare), Channel 9 off system wide."

(Channel 9 is United's onboard channel that allows passengers to listen to air traffic control and the pilots.)

SMS from another friend: "Made it to ORD barely, Flight to AMS (Amsterdam) delayed. This vacation has started great."

So to help everyone out, here are some of the policies that the airlines are making regarding travel abroad and domesically. Click the Airline's Name for their revised ticketing policy.
