Delta Air Lines says it is capping air fares for travel to and from certain cities in Florida and Alabama later this week due to Hurricane Michael.

Atlanta-based Delta said it is capping fares at $299 each way Oct. 9-11 for coach class to and from Pensacola, Panama City, Destin - Fort Walton Beach and Tallahassee, Fla.; and Mobile, Ala.

First class fares are capped at $499 each way for those cities during that Tuesday-Thursday time period.

Delta is also waiving certain change fees for passengers flying to, from or through those cities Tuesday or Wednesday who want to change their plans to avoid the storm.
