  • Delta Air Lines is extending its waiver to protect customers purchasing tickets between March 1, 2020 and April 15, 2020, for future travel to any destination, due to the Coronavirus situation.  The previous alert was through March 31, 2020. 
  • CIE Tours – extremely popular for trips to Ireland - has extended suspension of all destinations through May 31, 2020.  
  • REAL ID implementation postponed - The President has announced that he plans to extend the deadline for when Americans will be required to have new REAL ID credentials to board domestic flights.  He did not specify a new deadline and it is important to note that nothing will be final regarding the extension until the Department of Homeland Security releases detailed guidance. AAA with share details as more information is available.
