We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Over the last few days, folks have been anticipating the effects of Gordon, that was originally predicted to make landfall as a Category 1 hurricane.  Thankfully, it slowed and was downgraded to a tropical storm before hitting the Mississippi and Alabama coasts last night.

    But airlines are still issuing travel waivers for flights today and tomorrow (September 5 and 6, 2018, depending on the airline).

    Headed to the Gulf Coast?  Check With Your Airline to See If You’re Eligible for a Travel Waiver

    As of this morning, Gordon continues to spread heavy rain, and according to The Weather Channel, flooding rain is possible through Thursday, September 6, 2018, from the Florida panhandle to Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas.

    What Does Tropical Storm Gordon Mean for Travelers?

    Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta, Frontier, JetBlue, Southwest, Spirit Airlines, and United Airlines have all issued travel advisories allowing travelers to change flight plans without paying change fees.  And in some cases, they’ll even waive the difference in fare for your rebooked flight.

    I recommend checking each airline’s website to confirm if you’re eligible to make a change.
