Airlines promise refunds in wake of Trump travel ban
According to CNN, U.S.-based Delta, American and United airlines pledged to offer refunds and rebooking options for any travelers hit by Trump's executive order, which instituted a 90-day ban on travel to the U.S. by citizens of Syria, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen, as well as a 120-day suspension of the refugee program. The order also blocked Syrian refugees from coming to the United States indefinitely.
The New York Times reported that British Airways, Air Canada, Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways and Dubai-based Emirates Airlines also will allow affected customers to rebook or request refunds.
German airline Lufthansa said on its website that "affected passengers can request one free-of-charge rebooking."
