(CNS): As Hurricane Dorian made its way towards Puerto Rico Wednesday, packing winds of 80mph, Cayman Airways Ltd confirmed it will waive change fees for passengers wanting to cancel or change flights to Miami and Tampa over the next week for tickets purchased before 28 August. Dorian is currently a category 1 hurricane but forecasters said it is likely to become much more dangerous in the coming days as it heads towards the Bahamas and Florida.

“Due to the projected path of Hurricane Dorian, Cayman Airways Limited (CAL) will be waiving change fees and fare differences for passengers who wish to cancel their flight reservations for travel between the Cayman Islands and Miami and Tampa,” the national flag carrier stated in a release.

For more flight information call Cayman Airways Reservations on 345-949-2311 or 1-800-422- 9626 (toll free within the USA), or refer to the Hurricane Protection Policy on the Cayman Airways website.

      i stopped when they introduced baggage fees. I’ve got status with AA so 2 free bags wherever I go. AA definitely isn’t perfect but the airmiles add up and can be used on many other airlines.

    UKMET has Dorian headed for Mar-a-Lago. Will Trump order the US Air Force to nuke it before it hits his golf course?

      God works in mysterious ways. The biggest hurricane ever to hit Mar-A-Lago and the man who owns the largest hotel there, does not believe in climate change. Well, when he asks, Why was the hurricane so big? and the answer is, the Atlantic Ocean is warmer than ever, perhaps the “stable genius” will think about climate change.

      Not sure I will be crying if the hurricane makes a direct hit on Trump Palace, Florida.
      I have had it with Trump and his ignorance about climate change and the environment.

      The stable genius spent today golfing on his golf course in Virginia contemplating a course of action. Nuke North Korea or the hurricane?

    Why not cancel fees for all the delayed departures? As a flying customer I dont see why I should pay top dollar to fly when the service is poor and I did not contribute in any way on the decision to the purchase of the new planes.

      Take another airline if you don’t like it, but as for me and mine we will fly Cayman Airways whenever possible.

    Not going anywhere near Miami or Tampa. More unnecessary overreacting.

      Unnecessary over reacting? Miami is well within the projected cone, and Dorian is forecast as hitting Florida as a Cat 4. Hurricane and tropical force winds spread out a huge distance from the epi-centre, to say nothing of the heavy rainstorms.

          According to the NHC there is a >50% chance of 50 knots plus winds, and over 90% of tropical storm force winds. Breezy alright. And MIA will be shut. So no, not an overreaction. Which will be why United, American and Southwest are offering free rerouting or refund too. Plenty of things to beat CAL up for – this isnt one of them.
