A bomb cyclone that could hit the Midwest later this week has the potential to wreak havoc on holiday travel, with several airlines already offering waivers.
Major airlines have issued travel waivers ahead of the winter storm that’s forecast to rock cities including Chicago — a key air travel hub — the hardest, according to the Weather Channel.
United Airlines, which is headquartered in the Windy City, is offering inclement weather waivers to travelers in the Midwest, Texas, and on the East Coast. Flight change fees will be waived as well as fare increases for customers who change flights due to the forecast within a specific rebooking window.
JetBlue, American Airlines, Delta, Southwest, and Alaska Airlines are also offering waivers for a number of specific flight paths and dates.
The brewing storm, which has the potential to become a bomb cyclone — one that undergoes rapid strengthening — over the Midwest, would bring blizzard conditions to areas near the Great Lakes as well as extreme cold and dangerous wind chills, according to the National Weather Service.
Dan will tell us next week that he said it would be like this. He’s very good at forecasting things 20 minutes before they happen and even better at forecasting what happened after the fact.
