Is it me, or is there something wrong with this policy? You can't get a refund if you're affected? You only have 3 weeks in which to finish your travel? Am I missing something (especially since they're saying the storm will hit on Thursday 9/18, and in any case why would someone fly today or tomorrow to a destination that is going to be hit a day later)????!!!

Continental does provide the option to reschedule or reroute your travel if you are ticketed to/from/through one of these cities on/before Sep. 19, 2003. Travel must be completed by Oct. 12, 2003. Please contact Continental reservations for assistance:

(I know someone who was just affected by the hurricane in Bermuda, & USAir called to tell them a few days before the flight was canceled & it was their choice for a full refund or up to a year to reschedule the trip.)
