American, United, Southwest, and Frontier Airlines are waiving rebooking fees as winter storms threaten to disrupt operations at airports across large parts of the Midwest and Northeast.
The largest – Winter Storm Harper – is already pummeling parts of the West with heavy snow and will spread snow, ice and wind into the Plains, Midwest and Northeast into this weekend, warns the Weather Channel.
Blizzard warnings were posted for the Sierra Nevada of California.
"That storm will tap into cold air once it moves through the central and eastern states Friday through the weekend, delivering a widespread swath of significant snow," said the channel.
United has waived change fees at about 60 airports from Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota in the west through Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and New England in the east.
These include Newark Liberty and Chicago O’Hare.
Southwest’s waiver covers about two dozen airports, including Chicago Midway.
American’s waiver included more than a dozen airports in Pennsylvania, New York, New England and Canada.
