Passengers can change or cancel their tickets without financial penalty until Thursday for travel throughout the rest of the year, the struggling national airline said. “In light of the MH17 incident, Malaysia Airlines will be waiving any change fees for passengers who wish to make changes to their itinerary to any MH destinations,” it said in a statement. “Passengers who wish to postpone or cancel their travel plans can obtain a refund, including for non refundable tickets.” source
