United Airlines is offering flexible rebooking for eligible travelers whose itineraries include Lisbon on Nov. 10 or 11. The airline's travel waiver lists Nov. 19 as the last day for replacement travel. That gives affected U.S. travelers, including passengers booked between Newark and Lisbon, a chance to change plans without paying more if their new flight meets the waiver terms.
United's guidance says change fees and any fare difference may be waived when customers keep the same origin and destination, stay in the original cabin and rebook on a United or United Express-operated flight within the waiver window. A change to a different city or cabin can change the price. Check the total shown before accepting a new itinerary.
Portugal's civil aviation authority said it was tracking the effects of Storm Charles on aviation operations after the government declared a weather alert for Nov. 11. The United notice applies to eligible Lisbon bookings. A waiver lets passengers change plans even if their original flight still operates.
Check your booking before changing flights
Open United's My Trips to check your flight and the alternatives for your ticket. If you booked through a travel agent, ask the agent to check United's Lisbon weather waiver, listed as 7JC8Z. Review the replacement itinerary and its price before confirming the change.
