Coronavirus Situation

Airlines follow US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines when setting Coronavirus related change or cancellation rules. In case your destination is at risk, airlines typically offer free travel date changes and/or refunds for departures up to 60 days into the future. If your trip departure is more than 60 days in advance we suggest you check back later when CDC and airline guidance specific to your travel date may become available.

Currently the following countries are subject to CDC nonessential travel restrictions: China, South Korea, Japan, Iran, Italy and Hong Kong (list is subject to change).

If your destination country is not subject to a CDC travel health notice then your itinerary may not qualify for any special waivers. CDC does not recommend canceling or postponing travel to destinations whose risk is at Watch Level 1 or countries that are not subject to a travel health notice. Nonetheless, CDC recommends that you avoid contact with sick people and clean your hands often by washing them with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains 60%–95% alcohol. Soap and water should be used if hands are visibly dirty. This commonsense good practice is valuable whether you travel or not.
