Travel Waiver: Hurricane Florence 10-17 September, 2018
Is it normal to wait this long before issuing a travel waiver? Seems like the forecast is fairly solid that it will hit NC. I have a trip to Raleigh from Europe on Wednesday and need to start thinking about other plans.
thanks!
thanks!

If you call an UA agent and give the information on Hurricane Florence forecast, e.g., weather.com, the agent may be able to change your reservation by documenting the information that you provide on your reservation even though there is no weather waiver issued by United yet. You may need to call more than once. Good luck.

I have been communicating with United on Twitter about this, and I only get the standard "We are monitoring the situation, and will communicate with any affected passengers once we issue the waiver". Why wait so long that there are no options for people to choose from? American issued their waiver late Monday morning.

I'm getting a little nervous myself. I have a Saturday noon UA departure from IAD. I'm willing to fly out Friday night if I can get a waiver and beat the brunt of the storm.
