Hurricane Florence Travel Waivers: All Airlines No Luggage Fees at Affected Airports!

Wed 9pm Update: I've hit my character limit per post. All airlines will let you check luggage for free at the affected airports. Delta, AA, United are included in this.

Tues 9pm Update: Figured this can be helpful to anyone traveling this week in the NC, SC, east coast region. Waivers are up for all airlines, I didn't include spirit's but if someone needs it I can help with that. Looks like the worst travel days will be Thursday night through Sunday, even that might not be the end of that. Washington DC is an iffy getting rebooked on for some carriers like AA, but waivers are definitely up for Southwest for DC and Baltimore. I just noticed southwest has included Jacksonville and Atlanta in their waivers. For those in the area, take full advantage if there's a flight time you prefer better than that 6am.
