Airlines and airports in the southeastern United States brace themselves for   
   hurricane Florence. As a precaution, about four hundred flights have been   
   canceled Wednesday and Thursday at airports across North and South Carolina.   
       
   Florence is expected to land on Friday in the southern part of North Carolina.   
   Airlines have put in place plans to ensure that customers, employees and   
   facilities are safe.   
       
   The airlines offer passengers the possibility to change their tickets free of   
   charge to another date or to change the destination of their trip. The number   
   of flights canceled is still relatively limited because there are few large   
   hub airports in the area.   
       
   The largest airport in the region is in Charlotte, an important hub for   
   American Airlines. For the time being, no flights have been canceled at that   
   more inland airport, although this may change in the coming days. The problems   
   with Florence can last for days.   
       
   Airlines have relaxed the reversal policy for Hurricane Florence for the   
   following destinations:   
       
    Charleston, SC (CHS),   
    Charlotte, NC (CLT),   
    Charlottesville, VA (CHO),   
    Columbia, SC (CAE),   
    Fayetteville, NC (FAY),   
    Greensboro, NC (GSO),   
    Jacksonville, NC (OAJ),   
    Norfolk, VA (ORF),   
    New Bern, NC (EWN),   
    Myrtle Beach, SC (MYR),   
    Newport News, VA (PHF),   
    Raleigh Durham, NC (RDU),   
    Richmond, VA (RIC),   
    Roanoke, VA (ROA),   
    Savannah, GA (SAV),   
    Wilmington, NC (ILM)
