I was able today to have all four tickets shifted back 6 weeks. Just had to pay a total of $10 extra in taxes. The agent did start talking about just canceling altogether and refunding my miles - I politely steered us firmly away from that option.



I'm not versed on all the nuances, esp in a time like this. They did cancel my flight and as I was talking to the agent today about rerouting through one of the 11 airports used in screening, she started comparing the points differences. To avoid confusion I just had her lift and shift the exact itinerary back 6 weeks.

I run the risk of the direct I'm booked on being canceled again as it's NOT one of the ones they have committed to and it's been a route that has come and gone. Time will tell, hopefully the world isn't still on fire by then.

Thanks everyone for chiming in with info, helpful perspectives.
