FREE AIRPORT SWAPS | Booked to fly through the newly renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport? United may let you change your destination at no extra cost. According to Live and Let's Fly, United Airlines is allowing some passengers to switch from the newly renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport to Miami International Airport or Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport without paying a fare difference. An internal memo obtained by Live and Let's Fly instructs reservation agents that if customers no longer wish to fly into the airport bearing the president's name, they may use their "empowerment" to offer acceptable alternatives. The memo suggests agents respond, "I understand that you’d rather not fly to this airport anymore. We can look at nearby airports like Fort Lauderdale or Miami instead. Is that an acceptable alternative?" The airport was officially renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport on July 9 after legislation signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis earlier this year took effect.
