Palm Beach International Airport is now in use after parts of Hurricane Milton tore through Palm Beach County. The airport did not suffer any major damage.
For arriving passengers, PBIA suggests you arrive two hours before your flight.
Most major airlines offer passengers the opportunity to rebook their flights cheaply or for free.
Each airline has different rules for passengers who want to rebook their flights. Not all airlines offer rescheduling waivers for PBIA passengers. The airport recommends that everyone check in with their individual airline.
So if your flight is canceled, here’s what you can do:
Allegiant Airlines will contact passengers, full refund
PBIA passengers on Allegiant will receive full refunds or changes to their flights at no additional cost, airline spokesman Hector Mejia said Tuesday evening. The company will contact passengers whose flights were affected by the hurricane, he said.

American Airlines fees will be waived if all of the following factors are true
Passengers can change their flights if all this is true:
∙They bought their ticket on Saturday or earlier
∙Are scheduled for a trip between Tuesday and Friday
∙Can travel before October 17
∙Do not change the city of origin or destination
∙Rebook in the same cabin
∙Book these changes before Friday
∙Travel within one year of the new booking.
But the airline notes on its website that passengers may have to pay more if the new fare is more expensive.

Delta PBIA passengers whose flights were scheduled between Monday and Thursday must reschedule by next Tuesday for a flight starting on or before that day.

The airline added PBIA Wednesday morning to the list of passengers whose flights qualify for fee waivers, spokeswoman Breonna Richardson said.
