check the airline's website to see if they have provided a flexible rebooking policy.
Many airlines do so in poor weather. In a nutshell, the waivers allow travellers to
make one change to their itineraries with no penalty. So, if you can fly a day or two
later, it may be worth changing your ticket to move your travel away from when the
storm is expected to be worst. Or, if you want to postpone your trip altogether, the
policies sometimes waive the change fee and give you allow postponement of the
flight within a certain time frame.]]> 2017-08-10 06:43:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nurul_hafeelah/dx5ongodnup8/wish/180575655 https://padlet.com/nurul_hafeelah/dx5ongodnup8/wish/180575986 - duration of tour
