Swine Flu Prompts Travel Policy Changes

A number of travel providers have changed their policies because of the widespread fear of swine flu.

American Airlines announced it is extending a cancel-without-penalty policy for trips to Mexico through May 16, and United Airlines extended its deadline to May 15. Major cruise lines, including Carnival, the largest operator that travels to Mexico, canceled upcoming calls to the country indefinitely.
