Travel Deal of the Day (December 30, 2009)

With all the recent winter storms, you may have noticed the frequent notices published by airlines allowing free changes to your tickets in cities and during dates affected by adverse weather. These "weather waivers" have become common, so when the next storm is approaching, look at your airline's website for such a weather waiver policy. You will often be able to change your ticket for free, or, if the flight has been cancelled, refund your ticket without a penalty.
