You know things are bad when a low-cost airline starts waiving fees.
Allegiant announced a new "Travel with Confidence" policy this week, waiving change and cancellation fees on all flights until the government shutdown ends. It may be the latest sign that chaos at the airport is starting to keep travelers away, a feat that even higher fares linked to the price of oil have not accomplished (or at least, not yet).
In a press release on Monday, Allegiant said that the new policy is intended to give customers "greater flexibility and peace of mind when planning upcoming travel."
