American Airlines expects most of its passengers won't be affected by the flight cuts. "We expect the vast majority of our customers' travel will be unaffected, and long-haul international travel will remain as scheduled," the carrier said in a statement Thursday. "As schedule changes are made, we'll proactively reach out to customers who are impacted." Travelers were urged to check their flights' status on American's website or mobile app. The airline said it wouldn't charge a fee if passengers wanted to change their plans or request a refund. "In the meantime, we continue to urge leaders in Washington, D.C., to reach an immediate resolution to end the shutdown," the carrier said.
