Flying out to Hawaii this week? Heads up, Alaska Airlines paused some departures after that massive 8.8 quake near Russia triggered a tsunami advisory. My flight from Seattle was delayed late Tuesday, and I got a rebooking email at 2 AM. Props to Alaska for rolling out a flexible travel policy so fast. I was able to rebook for later this week with no fees. They’re even allowing full refunds or credits, which is rare.
That said, I feel for folks with kids or pets in checked baggage there are extra restrictions for them. If you’re flying soon, double-check your status and be flexible. Has anyone else been impacted? How did your airline handle it?
