AA now says that the change fee "may be wiaved" for DCA, IAD, and BWI Sept. 10-19. Just got the email this afternoon.

I'm flying out of DCA on Thursday morning, so I think I should be good. An AA agent waived the change fee for me last night (I was originally scheduled to fly out Friday night after work).

Update: And AA says whoops we made a mistake.

quote:
Earlier today, we inadvertently notified you of a travel alert for the Washington, D.C.-area. At this time, American has not issued a travel alert for this area, as the current forecast models have the storm remaining south of the nation’s capital. We apologize for the confusion.

The American team continues to monitor the track of the storm, which is forecast to impact portions of North and South Carolina later this week. If the path of the storm changes, you will be notified via email regarding any additional travel alerts or changes to your itinerary.

As always, we recommend that before heading to the airport that you check your flight status on the American Airlines app or at aa.com, and sign up for flight status notifications.

Updated the OP. Interesting thing I found was a weather waiver on southwest for atlanta and jacksonville through I think it's Monday

What's amusing is in their travel advisory, they added a section in the change fee waivers on DCA/BWI/IAD but it is extremely unclear

. It's added in the OP so we can try to figure out why they'd include DC under that section.

Going through CLT Sunday. Wonder if that's going to be an issue.

It will likely be an issue, where are you trying to get to? Maybe switch from a layover to a nonstop? Being in the northeast you have plenty of options on AA. Think about your preference for airport (EWR/JFK/LGA) and time (mid am, noon, afternoon) then we'll find the best timed flights from there
