Coronavirus means these airlines waiving cancellation, change fees

New York-based JetBlue Airways started a wave of airlines waiving cancel and change fees for all flight bookings as concerns related to the coronavirus grow.

Other airlines like United and American had already suspended flights to mainland China and Hong Kong. JetBlue only serves the U.S., Canada, parts of Latin America and the Caribbean.

A new virus first detected in China has infected more than 89,000 people globally and caused over 3,000 deaths. The World Health Organization has named the illness COVID-19, referring to its origin late last year and the coronavirus that causes it.

Here's how major U.S. airlines are responding to the outbreak.

Alaska Airlines

Alaska Airlines will waive change fees for tickets purchased before March 12 with original travel scheduled before June 1. New travel must be completed by Dec. 31, and any difference in fare will apply, the airline said.
