Passengers flying Delta Airlines or U.S. Airways this Thanksgiving week and weekend will get a break in fees for changing their flight because of the weather Newsy.com reported Tuesday.
"If the storm hugs the coast and develops to its full potential, it could be a flight nightmare, not only for travelers in the East, but also throughout the nation," AccuWeather.com chief operating officer Evan Myers told NBC News Monday.
The airlines posted messages on their websites that informed passengers they can fly on another flight, and not be required to pay the usual fee when changing their flight in order to arrive to their destination on schedule.
According to Delta's website, switching flights costs $200 for travel to any of the United States of America, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The cost ranges from $150 to $300 when someone alters their itinerary to go elsewhere.
U.S. Airways charges $200 for domestic travel according to information on the airline's website. Those going across the Atlantic Ocean, or Pacific Ocean usually run a cost between $250 to $450, along with the any changes in the flight fare.

Kennedy International Airport, and LaGuardia, White Plains, N.Y., Philadelphia, Washington D.C.'s Reagan National Airport, and Dulles International Airport, and Newark, N.J., on Wednesday are included.
