[Kathy in Alaska]

I just called American Airlines and she said, "It depends on what kind of ticket it is". You will need to call the specific airline and be prepared to answer questions about the ticket. Having the ticket in hand to look at while being asked questions is probably a must. She also said that if it is a non-refundable ticket, the answer is No! But, with all the call-ups, I would think that the airlines would do their part to be supportive of our military.

Please thank the family member for their service to our country.

DID YA KNOW?

The traditional sailors cap was designed to act as a floatation device. When wet, the cap would trap an air bubble and keep a sailor's head afloat.

From "Humor in Uniform":

FLYING into a Middle East airport, my co-pilot and I
reviewed our flight plan for the trip back to the USS
Enterprise. We were to pick up a Navy captain, and
experience had taught me that even seasoned vets turn
white-knuckled during carrier landings. Once the captain
was strapped in, I turned around to welcome him aboard.
"Sir," I asked, "will this be your first carrier landing?"
Looking at me with disdain, he opened his inflatable
vest to display gold wings above five rows of ribbons.
"Son," he said, "I have over 500 carrier landings in jet
fighters."
"That's good to hear," my co-pilot said, winking at
me, "because this will be our first."

Thank you so much for calling. I hope the airlines DO provide refunds...if not, our congressmen should be notified. This ticket is for 6 months from now, so plenty of time for the airlines to fill the spots.
