Airlines waiving change fees for Florida flights due to Hurricane Dorian
Hurricane Dorian is expected to hit the east coast of Florida as a Category 4 hurricane and then veer north toward Orlando, according to the 11 a.m. Friday National Hurricane Center forecast.
The latest projections have landfall somewhere near Wet Palm Beach early Tuesday morning before going inland where it would then pass through Central Florida as a Category 1 storm.
The exact path of the storm is still unknown at this point and could still change. If you are vacationing at Walt Disney World, here is Disney World’s Hurricane policy.
In the meantime, airlines providing services to Florida have started waiving change fees. If you have plans through a travel agent, it is suggested you check with them.
