MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A number of big cities' plans for New Year's Eve are in flux, and all of the COVID-related cancellations are causing concern for travelers.

If you're flying and want to change or cancel a flight things are more complicated now compared to last year.

"Let's say you're getting ready to go for Christmas or a pre new years trip if you are flying on Delta or United adn you booked the cheapset basci economy fair you still will be able to cancel that and get a voucher when you are able to travel but with othe airlines and other fair types you may unfortunetly you may be out of luck," Potter said.

Potter says you really need to read the fine print these days when you buy your ticket. He adds that international travel is even more complicated.
