- United to offer travelers free flight changes to avoid landing at Trump Internat...
United Airlines is planning to offer passengers flight changes free of charge to avoid landing at the newly renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport in Florida, according to an internal memo that appears aimed at customers who object to the airport’s new name.Passengers who object to landing at the airport — previously Palm Beach International Airport — may be moved to Fort Lauderdale or Miami without having to pay extra, according to an internal memo obtained by Live And Let’s Fly."If a customer does not want to fly to the airport, use your empowerment to offer acceptable alternatives such as Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL) or Miami International Airport (MIA)," the memo to reservation agents reads.The memo even suggests a response to customers who object to landing at the renamed airport.FAA BEGINS DJT TRANSITION AS TRUMP AIRPORT NAME TAKES EFFECT"I understand that you’d rather not fly to this airport anymore. We can look at nearby airports like Fort Lauderdale or Miami instead. Is that an acceptable alternative?" the guidance says.The agents are directed to process the change as an even exchange, effectively making the flight change free of charge for travelers.Fort Lauderdale is roughly 45 miles south of West Palm Beach, while Miami is about 72 miles away, giving passengers alternative access to South Florida without stepping foot at President Donald J. Trump International Airport.Still, agents are advised to offer an "acceptable alternative," according to the memo, suggesting a flight change remains subject to availability and discretion permitted by the airline.Airlines generally do not allow complimentary destination changes because a traveler objects to the person an airport was named after.United is also expected to update its systems as the airport transitions from Palm Beach International Airport to President Donald J. Trump International Airport, according to the memo.
