Airline Information and Travel Resources for Those of You that are Holding Airline Tickets

I'm not sure what info the originator of this thread was trying to share --- but here's something that I'd gotten from one of my newsletters yesterday. As you know, the horrific events in New York, Pittsburgh, and Washington, D.C. have shut down air traffic nationally. As of this writing, domestic flights are expected to resume at some point on September 12, but tens of thousands of travelers are stranded, and moving them to their proper destinations will take time and effort. For subscribers who need information about travelers, we hope the following list will help: * Southwest Airlines [ http://www.southwest.com/ ] or 1-800-435-9792 * United Airlines [ http://www.ual.com/ ] or 1-800-932-8555 * Continental Airlines [ http://www.continental.com/ ] or 1-800-525-0280 * US Airways [ http://www.usairways.com/ ] or 1-800-428-4322 * Delta Airlines [ http://www.delta.com/home/index.jsp ] or 1-800-325-1999 * American Airlines [ http://www.aa.com/ ] or 1-800-245-0999 * Northwest Airlines [ http://www.nwa.com/ ] or 1-800-228-2525 We at Dummies.com send our support and strength to our subscribers and our friends in the travel industry as they heroically assist their passengers and family members following this devastation. ********************************************** *********
