May 17: Her grandchild is due around Thanksgiving: What are her airfare options to arrive in time? (Can Mua)
May 17, 2016
A Los Angeles grandma-to-be plans to fly to New York around Thanksgiving for the baby's arrival. Airfare experts offer advice.
Question: My daughter is expecting a baby around Thanksgiving, and I need to buy a ticket from Los Angeles to New York's JFK. Her due date is Nov. 19 (Thanksgiving is Nov. 26), and I would like to buy a one-way refundable ticket in case she delivers earlier or later than the 19th. Any suggestions on how to get the best ticket for such a special occasion during one of the most traveled holiday times?
