A tropical depression sounds mild next to a named storm, so it’s easy to think flights carry on as usual. Sometimes they do. A plane may depart, land, or pass well away […]

No, most airlines won’t let you add a new traveler to a ticketed reservation; the usual fix is a separate booking or a cancel-and-rebook. You book a flight, then life changes. A partner decides to come. A friend wants in. A child’s travel plan shifts. That’s when this question pops up: can you add another
