Thousands of flights have been canceled since all of Boeing's 737 Max airplanes were grounded on March 13. Here are some tips to ensure a smooth trip.
Thousands of flights have been canceled since all of Boeing's 737 Max airplanes were grounded on March 13, forcing American, Southwest, United and many international airlines to scramble and adjust schedules, rebook passengers and figure out what comes next.
American Airlines has canceled about 115 737 Max-related flights per day through Aug. 19. The airline's reservations and sales teams are continuing to work with affected customers to manage their travel plans. "American's Reservations team will contact affected customers directly by email or telephone," the airline said in a statement."Customers who booked through a travel agent will be contacted by their agency directly."
While airlines are being proactive about rebooking passengers whose flights are canceled or changed, Liana Corwin, a travel expert from travel app Hopper, urges travelers to be sure to review their itineraries themselves. That's because"travelers who cancel their flights would not be eligible to claim compensation if they decide to do so," said Zillmer."Passengers do not have a right to compensation or reimbursement for tickets purchased if they choose to cancel."
Whatever you do, if you're planning on buying an airplane ticket for summer travel:"Don't procrastinate," said Rick Seaney, co-founder and CEO of FareCompare.com.
