Airlines are providing some flexibility to passengers who were affected by the postponement of the Sugar Bowl as a result of the Wednesday morning terror attack in New Orleans.

Delta Airlines is offering travel waivers for those flying in and out of New Orleans. The Atlanta-based airline is allowing passengers to change flight schedules for anything booked between Wednesday and Friday without paying additional charges.

In addition, Southwest, United, and American Airlines are also issuing travel waivers for New Orleans flights.

Southwest says customers can rebook or travel on standby on the same route within 14 days of the original flight.

There were travelers expected to be flying back from New Orleans to Atlanta today after the Sugar Bowl. But the game between Georgia and Notre Dame was pushed back until Thursday afternoon for security reasons.

Coverage of Thursday’s games begins at noon. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. on 95.5 WSB.
