Delta Air Lines and other airlines are further adjusting their change policies due to the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Delta Extends Free Flight Changes To End Of Year
“We’re extending any Delta ticket for travel in March or April that is set to expire before June 30, 2020, to permit travel until December 31, 2020,” Delta says on its website.
“You can rebook and fly with these tickets until the end of this year.”
The airlines are trying to cope with travel plans that have been in disarray as the nation and much of the world adjusts to the new normal due to COVID-19.
Delta says that before you travel, passengers should check with the airport of origin and destination to make sure they know the local safety and security protocols amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Responding to the coronavirus pandemic, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms declared a state of emergency for the city on Sunday, March 15, 2020.
Lance Bottoms tweeted that she enacted the measure to slow the spread of the virus, which is spreading in the metro area.
Coronavirus Pandemic: Atlanta Mayor Declares State of Emergency
“In an effort to slow the spread of the Coronavirus, I have declared a State of Emergency within the city of Atlanta, prohibiting large public gatherings of more than 250 people,” she posted.
Lance Bottoms tweeted two pages of the declaration, which says,

— Keisha Lance Bottoms (@KeishaBottoms) March 15, 2020
The news came the same day that the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) recommended that for the next eight weeks, organizers cancel or postpone in-person events that consist of 50 people or more throughout the United States.
Examples of large events and mass gatherings include conferences, festivals, parades, concerts, sporting events, weddings, and other types of assemblies,” the CDC says in its guidance. “These events can be planned not only by organizations and communities but also by individuals.”
After learning of the Atlanta-based CDC’s recommendation, Lance Bottoms later tweeted: “This is a quickly evolving public health crisis. The CDC’s recommendation of limiting public gatherings to 50 people came just as I was signing and announcing this Order. We will continue to evaluate and adjust our policies accordingly.”
Roads around the city on Sunday were unusually empty at times, a sign that residents were doing their best to stay at home during the pandemic.
What Does The Atlanta State Of Emergency Mean For You?
For individual Atlantans, the state of emergency means that many of the city’s annual large events are in limbo or canceled.
As of now, the city’s restrictions include:
- No public gatherings of 10 or more
- No dining inside restaurants
- Closure of all bars and gyms
Some parks, local monuments and the Beltline remain open as of now, but the city is under pressure to close them as well.
Huge festivals that usually take place in venues like Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Georgia World Congress Center and even Piedmont Park are having to be reconsidered.
Atlanta has taken several steps already to curtail the coronavirus, including cancellation of the NCAA Men’s Final Four, Atlanta United matches and more.

Jinya Ramen Bar is set to open November 11 in Alpharetta City Center. The restaurant is widely thought of as having the best ramen in whatever city they’re in.
The eatery recently received a shoutout from Chrissy Teigen, who posted online about her favorite Jinya Ramen Bar dish.
“My pick is the spicy tonkotsu ramen,” she said. “It’s rich and tingly but not crazy-hot; the fire builds slowly with every slurp. Round out your meal with their buns, crispy chicken, and gyoza – if your kids don’t want ramen, they’ll destroy all of these and ask for seconds.”
For its Alpharetta debut, Jinya Ramen Bar is offering freebies as well. The first 50 people at 11 am. and 6 p.m. will receive a free ramen bowl.
The craze hasn’t escaped metro Atlanta’s food and drink scene, which has seen a fast-caz explosion in recent years.

The Atlanta Beltline Southside Trail has been opened on an interim basis. The all-gravel path connects the Westside and Eastside Trails. Here’s what it looks like.
The 4-mile Atlanta BeltLine Southside Trail officially opened in late August and has been used since that time by sporadic joggers, walkers and bikers.
Here’s what the Atlanta BeltLine Southside Trail looks like
If you plan on riding a scooter there, don’t do it: The interim trail is unpaved and makes for a rocky road.
The trail is nowhere near what it will be but already has outstanding potential by offering access to a former rail corridor, 11 public streets, bridges, crosswalks in at-grade crossings and two tunnels.
The Atlanta BeltLine Southside Trail traces its beginnings to March 2018. That’s when Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced that the BeltLine had acquired the 4.5-mile Southside Trail corridor from CSX.
“Linking the west and east sides of the Atlanta BeltLine is a top priority,” said Clyde Higgs, President and CEO of Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. “We recognize that this connectivity has been highly anticipated by our neighbors along the southern corridor. We are thrilled for this milestone and future construction.”
Where is the Atlanta BeltLine Southside Trail located?
The Atlanta BeltLine Southside Trail extends from University Avenue to Glenwood Avenue. Here are some photos of what the Southside Trail looks like in its interim state:
The city asks that the public do not use the corridor until the proper precautions have been taken to ensure that it is safe.
The Beltline is accepting volunteers to help clean up and beautify the trail through seasonal All Call Volunteer Days and Adopt the Atlanta BeltLine.
Current Southside Trail Adopters include TAF Designs, REI, Raulet Property Partners, Atlanta Community ToolBank, Mercer Street Neighbors, Eventide Brewing, and Jack and Jill of America. Learn more about these programs at beltline.org and by signing up for the Partnership’s monthly e-newsletter.

The Southside Trail of the Beltline has opened to the public. City officials commemorated the event, which has been anticipated for years.
Walkers, joggers can now travel 12 miles total on the Atlanta Beltline, officials said this week. The path is all gravel as of now, but will be beautified in the future.
Southside Trail of the Beltline opens to the public
The opening of the Southside Trail is important because it bridges University Avenue and connects the Eastside and Westside Trails.
The Southside Trail, still considered in what is called an “interim” state, is four miles in length and connects the Westside and Eastside Trails with plenty of mobility options and programming.
What’s new on the Beltline Southside Trail?
The Southside Trail of the Beltline is unpaved but has gravel for easy walking. It also gives you access to 11 public streets.
“I am delighted for the opportunity this represents for the residents of south and southwest Atlanta,” said Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. “Already, in an interim state, the Atlanta BeltLine Southside Trail is having a profound impact on affordable housing, jobs, and the economy in the surrounding communities.”
City officials will now turn their attention to linking the respective trails so that the public can easily access them.
“Linking the west and east sides of the Atlanta BeltLine is a top priority,” said Clyde Higgs, President and CEO of Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. “We recognize that this connectivity has been highly anticipated by our neighbors along the southern corridor. We are thrilled for this milestone and future construction.”
