What happened
American Airlines, United Airlines, and JetBlue Airways waived change fees for flights serving the New York City area, Boston, and smaller New England airports through Sunday. This measure was implemented ahead of a nor'easter that federal forecasters warned would bring high winds and rainfall. Customers can change flights without paying a change fee or difference in fare if they fly before the middle of next week.
