Hurricane Irma: American Air Suspends Flights, Caps Fares

As Hurricane Irma rips through Florida, American Airlines is cancelling flights for the next few days in some areas. American Airlines released a list of the airports affected as well as a notification of a price cap for flights.

All Florida flights are cancelled until either Monday or Tuesday. Hilton Head, South Carolina (HHH), and Savannah, Georgia (SAV), flights are cancelled until Monday.

American Airlines flights out of Miami will not resume until Tuesday at the earliest, according to the Guardian. The Miami-Dade Aviation Department said Miami International Airport will remain closed until Sept. 12, based on roadway conditions and whether employees can get to work.
