Many of these travel waivers came out on Wednesday. I was able to take advantage of Delta’s by booking a cheap Shabbat (Saturday) flight out Miami and immediately was able to change it for free to an expensive Sunday flight.

Have 3 Flight booked leaving from JFK mtz shbs on Delta. Assuming I’m better off waiting it out and see what will be?
Let’s hope it works out. If not Sunday beh should work.

My son has a return flight to Israel on United this Sunday (Jan. 30). His plans have changed and doesn’t know when he’ll go back, possibly after Pesach. I checked a few days ago to check on switching the flight to May and it costs about the same as new round trip ticket (and he already has a TLV-NYC return ticket for end of June).
If the flight on Sunday is canceled, do I get a refund for half the ticket? What is the best course of action?

To those that decided to spend yeshiva week in South Florida. From a weather perspective, this past week in FL has been a disappointment for those folks. Shabbos morning in FL expected to be in the 30’s, skipping out on the blizzard up north, but coming back just in time to clean it all up. What a vacation! Maybe next year in Jerusalem (….or Cancun) for warm weather
